Purple Rain(1984)

6.7/10

dir. Albert Magnoli

S-Tier

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Prince in 1984 Minneapolis. People wanted a purple case and were disappointed. The acting is openly acknowledged as terrible while the music is some of the best ever recorded, and that tension is part of the appeal. Someone bought their first copy on Betamax in 1985.

Warner Bros. · 40th Anniversary Edition

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.
