Tenebre(1982)

7.0/10

dir. Dario Argento

S-Tier

Arrow Video 4K with an Arte Originale limited edition variant that collectors hunt on eBay. Synapse also released a version with a slipcover. Argento's neon-lit giallo about a writer stalked by a killer inspired by his own novels, and the transfer handles the high-contrast lighting well.

House on the Edge of the Park(1980)

5.8/10

dir. Ruggero Deodato

S-Tier

S-Tier 88 Films 4K. Severin had quality issues with this disc and quietly mailed out replacements with zero explanation. People were getting random Blu-rays in the mail and had no idea why. The replacement program also covered Hell of the Living Dead, which had a color problem where reds looked purple. If you're buying secondhand, make sure you're getting the corrected disc.

Murder-Rock: Dancing Death(1984)

5.5/10

dir. Lucio Fulci

A-Tier

Fulci doing a giallo set in a New York dance academy is exactly as unhinged as it sounds. 88 Films giving it the limited edition 4K treatment puts it alongside their Phase IV and Xtro releases, which have both been strong transfers.
