Red Heat(1988)

6.2/10

dir. Walter Hill

A-Tier

The StudioCanal steelbook has great embossing and showed up in European sales for around 15 EUR. Region B locked on the Blu-ray side, which annoyed a few Region A collectors who wanted the full package. Purely a fun 80s action night pick.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors(1987)

6.7/10

dir. Chuck Russell

C-Tier

Available on 4K only via Warner's 7 Film Collection boxset from September 2025. Dokken's Dream Warriors music video is included on the disc, though some collectors have flagged subtle playback-speed drift versus the original master. Atmos remix is the new theatrical option, with the original mono and 5.1 tracks also included.
