Opera(1987)

6.7/10

dir. Dario Argento

S-Tier

S-Tier Plaion Pictures 4K. Argento's opera house horror from 1987. Thin collector discussion on the 4K specifically, though it appears in haul posts.

Phenomena(1985)

6.8/10

dir. Dario Argento

S-Tier

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K with a 4.0 score. Argento's insect-horror from 1985 with Jennifer Connelly. Arrow and Synapse both released a version, and the only real difference is the box art, with the Synapse cover being widely considered worse. Argento collectors are buying Arrow's to match their other Argento boxes.

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.
