S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. The jump from the old DVD to this 4K is huge. The practical transformation effects hold up really well at this resolution.

Shout Factory's S-Tier 4K of the original 1975 Rollerball. Thin collector discussion but the transfer quality speaks for itself. A good 70s dystopian sci-fi disc to have around.

Shameless Films has a Collector's Edition 4K out March 30. Argento supervised the color timing, Dolby Vision, six hours of extras, serial numbered. Already sold out at Rare Waves. The problem is that Synapse had the cinematographer supervise their transfer and Argento has a different idea of what his film should look like. Worth waiting for comparison shots before buying it twice.

Once an architect, Frank Bannister now passes himself off as an exorcist of evil spirits. To bolster his facade, he claims his "special" gift is the result of a car accident that killed his wife. But what he does not count on is more people dying in the small town where he lives. As he tries to piece together the supernatural mystery of these killings, he falls in love with the wife of one of the victims and deals with a crazy FBI agent.

A-Tier Second Sight Films 4K. Zulawski's 1981 horror with Isabelle Adjani. The Second Sight limited edition sold out at OrbitDVD within hours. There are questions about the quality of different 4K transfers, since the French version had poor gamma and an extreme blue push. Second Sight's version and the Umbrella release are the ones collectors are weighing.

D-Tier Universal 4K. Peter Jackson's three-hour epic got the Universal DNR treatment. Collectors have been asking for a proper 20th anniversary edition. The Panasonic UB820's HDR optimizer can help with the brightness issues.
