I absolutely agree with you. Normally whenever arrow Video does a Blu-ray release that is Mastered in 4K and comes out on 4K a couple of years later I normally stay away from it because you're getting little to nothing in terms of an upgrade or even new packaging for that matter. That's why I never bought RoboCop or Candyman on 4k

What can you say about this movie Keith other than it epitomises what the 80’s was all about. It’s an 80’s classic and I love it. Shame about the 4K being a bit of a let down you would expect better on a movie with the pop culture it has. There are so many classic moments I could go on about it all night, it’s every teenage boys dream to do something like what Gary and Wyatt did. Anyone fortunate enough to own a computer back in the mid 80’s I put money on they tried this minus the bra’s on the head. Anyway Keith, here is John Carpenters top 10. 10. Elvis. 1979 9. Vampires 1998 8. Escape From New York. 1981 7. Starman. 1984 6. Big Trouble in Little China. 1986 5. They Live. 1988 4. Halloween. 1978 3. Christine. 1983 2. The Thing. 1982 1. The Fog. 1980 If Halloween III Season of the Witch had been directed by the master himself it would have been at number 2.

As a side note - I currently have nothing to watch any physical media movie on at the moment. My Panasonic UB9000 which is only a year old disc tray stopped working completely and has a copy of the Evil Dead blu-ray stuck inside of it. Luckily I have a 5yr warranty and it got picked up by supplier a couple of days ago to be looked at. They say lightning can’t strike twice but it did - my multi region Sony blu-ray player I bought off Amazon only a couple of months ago has just started to stop playing Region A discs - gets to main menu then entire player shuts down when you select play! Amazon are sorting out a refund so I’ll have to find another player - think I’ll keep away from Sony and go for another brand. I’ve genuinely never experienced anything like this before Keith - I look after my equipment and discs and can’t believe my double strike of bad luck 😮 Have you ever experienced anything similar mate?

Hey Charlie. I'm so sorry to hear that has happened to all your players. I do not want to give myself the kiss of death but my Panasonic UB820 is starting to act up a little.

I'm hoping I'm wrong but it seems to be happening a bit. I still think Panasonic are the brand to go for and the one that you have is probably one of the best out there and I really do hope you can get that fixed because it would definitely be worth doing so. I still need to look into getting a region free player on myself and if this Panasonic player goes on me I will probably try and kill two birds with one stone. I would still love to get Panasonic though

Sad to hear it - glad I dont have to double dip again. Will you please compare Arrows Flatliners 4K to the standard 1080 (Sony I think) - it to my eyes replaces cold green/teal scenes with purple (Keefer sitting on the gate of Daves truck in an alley when he sees the vision of Billys dog and any Billy scene). The same happens with Arrows 4k of Candyman vs their own 1080. My TV is a mid range hdr+ set with now Dolby vision but I mostly find this issue to be on arrow 4ks. My set is well calibrated and my player is top end and set up correctly. It bugs the hell out of me. Nice to see an Irish reviewer

My jaws edition was meant to arrive yesterday and it didn't show up. It's out for delivery for today but I don't think I will have enough time to put a video together for tonight so I say it'll be Friday. Cannot wait to get my hands on it

Do you think this movie was filmed on poor quality film stock? Why else would the grain be so extensive in 4k? More DNR processing may have helped this release.

I spoken about this a few times when it comes to DNR but it is a tool and if it's used correctly it can be quite useful and yes I think it would have been good to see it implemented correctly on this disc.

Yeah you're probably right it is the best the movie is going to look and it's all down to source material in the end.

Just watched this version and after the initial titles the film settles down and looks superb. I really don’t understand the hate for grain - it’s called film and I much prefer the zero DNR method used by the likes of Arrow and BFI. Just look how Paramount ruined another John Hughes classic movies with Planes, Trains and Automobiles and insist there was nothing wrong with it. What were your thoughts on that or the travesty of Universal Studios 4K bodge job of Hot Fuzz?

You have to understand I have absolutely no issues when it comes to film grain but when it's as heavy as it is in this release it is borderline distracting. Check out the grain structure for Weird Science on the Blu-ray and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I actually done a video on Planes Trains and Automobiles and I thought it was one of the most hideous looking 4K transfers I have ever seen.

@@millerman9991 I am familiar with Arrow’s 2K version and while the increase in resolution seen on the 4k does reveal more grain, I don’t find it distracting and I do far prefer the increase in colour palette along with the Dolby Vision presentation. Neither are perfect of course but in my opinion I thought you were a little too dismissive. Personally, I find any sign of DNR far more distracting and particularly enjoy the likes of Arrow, BFI, etc who use the UHD format to show off the original film as it was originally meant to be seen. But hey, one of my recent favourites was Dog Soldiers and I’ve read of people being disappointed with that. We all have different takes and expectations.

@modestyblaise4167 honestly I'm not being too dismissive I just think the Blu-ray is a more pleasing viewing experience. Don't get me wrong I want this movie to look it's best but it's not with this 4K release. But I also did say it in the video if you can look past the heavy grain there is something to be had when it came to the colour. I also done a video on dog Soldiers and I thought that movie looked astonishing especially you consider it was shot in 16mm. One of the best I've seen

@@millerman9991 Thank you for replying. Now I’m interested in revisiting Arrow’s 2K version but on our set up. Unfortunately I insisted that my husband sell the Blu-Ray to pay for the 4K as I didn’t see the point. A quick question, would you say it’s more the increased resolution exposing more of the grain or the Dolby Vision HDR revealing more information in the dark areas that would normally be ‘hidden’ in SDR? Maybe a bit of both.
@millerman9991

If I'm completely honest I think it's the increase in resolution. You See It Happening a lot on 4K releases. The one saving grace is always the Dolby Vision. Another thing to bear in mind as well is everybody's equipment is very different and how they have it calibrated.
