Criterion flash sale pickups are pushing this one back into conversations. The A-Tier Paramount disc benefits from HDR more than most because the lighting design carries most of the tension. Aronofsky's biblical allegory disguised as a home invasion film, and the 4K presentation makes both halves hit harder.

People who have owned this on every format from VHS through 4K say each upgrade felt meaningful. Often discounted to $10-11 USD new, which makes it one of the cheapest high-quality 4K discs in Universal's catalog. The special edition with the "World is Yours" statue and the 1932 original is a collector's item in its own right. A-Tier transfer with the neon and white suits looking exactly how you'd hope in HDR.

The steelbook had some quality control issues with cases not closing properly, which is a recurring Paramount problem. The upgrade from Blu-ray is described as modest by owners who've compared them.
