S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Abel Ferrara's crime film with Walken. Lionsgate put out a re-release with a steelbook that collectors found ugly, and most people are happy sticking with their Arrow or StudioCanal versions. The 4-hour documentary included with the Arrow release is almost as good as the film itself.

Scream Factory 4K from December 2024. Christopher Walken in Cronenberg's Stephen King adaptation, which collectors rank as one of the best King-to-film transfers on 4K. The Scream Factory release was a day-one buy for a lot of people when it was announced alongside Clue and Point Break.

The monstrous Penguin, who dwells in the sewers beneath Gotham, joins up with corrupt mayoral candidate Max Shreck to topple the Batman once and for all. But when Shreck's timid assistant Selina Kyle finds out, and Shreck tries to kill her, she's transformed into the sexy Catwoman. She teams up with the Penguin and Shreck to destroy Batman, but sparks fly unexpectedly when she confronts the caped crusader.
Arrow's 4K brought Ferrara's black and white vampire film to the format nobody expected, with a transfer that preserves the contrast and grain of the original without crushing the shadows. The release is already getting the standard Arrow treatment with a packed slate of extras and a proper booklet.
