Death Wish(1974)

Kino Lorber's 4K UHD dropped January 2023 with a new 2022 HDR/Dolby Vision master from a 4K scan of the 35mm original camera negative. The disc is UHD100, which is rare for a catalog title and shows in the bitrate. The rest of the Death Wish series is still Blu-ray only, so this is the only entry collectors can get on 4K for now.

Vinegar Syndrome's 4K released May 2022 from a new scan of the 35mm original camera negative. Reviews are split. Hidef-digest and Home Theater Forum called the transfer reference quality, while bestblurays marked it Disappointing for poor encoding. The underlying scan is strong, but what Vinegar Syndrome did with the bitrate is where people disagree.
