S-Tier Lionsgate 4K. The steelbook came out in January. The big question is which ending you get, since the theatrical and director's cut have different ones, and collectors prefer the theatrical. ViaVision also has a limited edition in the works.

Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Lamberto Bava

S-Tier 88 Films 4K. A Lamberto Bava giallo that showed up on a comprehensive "giallo on 4K" list alongside Argento and the elder Bava. The 88 Films release is region free. Vinegar Syndrome also released a version and collectors are split on which transfer they prefer.

88 Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Ridley Scott

The transfer finally gets the color timing right after years of home video versions that never matched the theatrical. Looks really good on an OLED. The Aliens 4K got hit with AI upscaling controversy, but the original Alien's transfer is clean. The Filmarena steelbook is the collector's item if you can find one, otherwise the standard 4K is the same disc.

20th Century Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Fede Álvarez

S-Tier Disney 4K. The transfer looks really good on the claustrophobic station interiors and the xenomorph practical effects gain resolution in 4K. A limited edition steelbook is available through Rare Waves.

S-Tier Scream Factory 4K. A new release coming May 19 through Diabolik. 80s creature feature with a devoted following.

S-Tier Criterion 4K. Collectors had been asking for this for years and Criterion delivered. William Hurt's performance and the hallucinatory sequences look wild in HDR.

S-Tier Scream Factory 4K. The original slasher film before Halloween. Scream Factory announced this and the response was basically 'take my money'. A holiday horror staple that finally has a proper 4K disc.

Scream Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Mario Bava

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Mario Bava invented the giallo template with this one in 1964, and the Arrow limited edition is the way to own it. The bold color lighting and set design are the whole appeal on disc. Copies have turned up at Disc Replay for around $39.99 USD, which is a good price for an Arrow LE. If you like Argento, this is the film he was ripping off.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

S-Tier Severin Films 4K. Paul Morrissey and Andy Warhol's vampire film with Udo Kier. 'The blood of these whores is killing me' is the line everyone quotes. Severin did a good job with this one.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Ruggero Deodato

S-Tier 88 Films 4K. Severin had quality issues with this disc and quietly mailed out replacements with zero explanation. People were getting random Blu-rays in the mail and had no idea why. The replacement program also covered Hell of the Living Dead, which had a color problem where reds looked purple. If you're buying secondhand, make sure you're getting the corrected disc.

88 Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Jim Gillespie

S-Tier Sony 4K. A new limited edition steelbook at $55 USD landed with serious pushback from collectors who don't think this is a $55 movie. The standard 4K has been available for a while and the discs are presumably identical. 88 Films also put out a UK trilogy box set if you want all three films together.

Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Jacques Tourneur

S-Tier Criterion 4K. Val Lewton and Jacques Tourneur's voodoo horror from 1943. The shadow work and suggestion are the whole point of this film, and the 4K brings that out better than any previous release.

Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. John Carpenter

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Carpenter's Lovecraftian horror, and the Arrow limited edition sold out fast. People who buy direct from Arrow have had fulfillment issues, so the recommendation is to order from OrbitDVD or Diabolik instead. Alan Wake 2 players keep drawing parallels to the Sutter Cane storyline.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Vincenzo Natali

After hearing a child screaming for help from the green depths of a vast field of tall grass, Becky, a pregnant woman, and Cal, her brother, park their car near a mysterious abandoned church and enter the field, discovering that they are not alone and, for some reason, they are unable to escape a completely inextricable vegetable labyrinth.

Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. William Cameron Menzies

S-Tier Ignite Films 4K. The 1953 sci-fi classic, possibly sourced from the last surviving print. Ignite had some packaging problems with slipcovers taped directly to cases in a way that damages the cardboard, and shipping was slow. It's been running about $44 USD, with 20% off occasionally from Ignite's own store.

The residents of San Francisco are becoming drone-like shadows of their former selves, and as the phenomenon spreads, two Department of Health workers uncover the horrifying truth.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. David Robert Mitchell

S-Tier Second Sight Films 4K. David Robert Mitchell's horror film where the threat just walks toward you, slowly, forever. Second Sight's limited edition is the one to get over the Lionsgate release, with stronger packaging and better extras.

Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Adrian Lyne

S-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Adrian Lyne's nightmare horror with Tim Robbins. There's a persistent Criterion wish-list energy around this title, and someone insists there used to be a laserdisc edition. The steelbook artwork is really nice. If Studiocanal ever separates from their Lionsgate deal, a boutique edition could happen. For now the Lionsgate 4K is it.

Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Takashi Shimizu

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Takashi Shimizu's Japanese horror. Arrow's announcement came alongside a pile of other re-releases, and people noted that Arrow keeps repackaging the same catalog. Japanese horror is getting a real moment in boutique 4K right now between Arrow, Eureka, and the Daiei Gothic sets.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Edgar Wright

S-Tier Universal 4K. Edgar Wright's 60s London thriller. The disc regularly comes up in "reference quality films nobody mentions" conversations alongside Sicario and No Country for Old Men. Zavvi had an exclusive steelbook with artwork that people found a bit basic compared to the film's actual visual style.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Cameron Cairnes, Colin Cairnes

S-Tier Second Sight Films 4K. The 70s-style talk show horror with David Dastmalchian. The Umbrella release came with a VHS of the broadcast cut at $86 USD, which raised some eyebrows. A24 did a steelbook at $40 USD. Second Sight's limited edition is the one collectors are targeting. The AI-generated images controversy follows this film everywhere.

Second Sight Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. John D. Hancock

S-Tier Vinegar Syndrome 4K. The 1971 atmospheric horror that VS gave the full treatment. Someone at the VS Toronto shop said they were immensely proud of the work on this disc.

Vinegar Syndrome · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Tobe Hooper

Imprint Films announced a new 4K at about $85 USD with a book-style package. Arrow already put out an S-Tier disc so collectors are weighing whether the extras justify owning two copies of the same Tobe Hooper vampire movie.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Clive Barker

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Clive Barker's detective horror from 1995. Thin current signal, but the original pressing has become an OOP target for people who missed it.

Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. William Lustig

S-Tier Blue Underground 4K. William Lustig's sequel with some insane chase sequences that clearly didn't have permits. Blue Underground priced both Maniac Cop 4Ks at $30 USD each, which people found fair compared to what Shout Factory charges for a single standard Blu-ray.

Blue Underground · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Alan Smithee, William Lustig

S-Tier Blue Underground 4K. The third Maniac Cop, directed under the Alan Smithee pseudonym. No relevant collector discussion beyond existing as part of the Blue Underground Maniac Cop set.

Blue Underground · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Jesús Franco

S-Tier Blue Underground 4K. Jess Franco's 1969 Marquis de Sade adaptation. Blue Underground's second Franco 4K, and people are already asking if Salo could be next.

Blue Underground · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George A. Romero

S-Tier Second Sight Films 4K. Romero's vampire film from 1978, and big news hit when the director's cut was found. Second Sight had a 4K already in the works, and collectors wanted them to delay the release to include the director's cut rather than force a double dip. The Dawn of the Dead treatment is what people are hoping for.

Second Sight Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Kenneth Branagh

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein with De Niro as the creature. Arrow's 4K was $14.95 USD at Hamilton Book, and the Zavvi exclusive steelbook is a design standout. People project this one, which is a good sign for the transfer. Branagh going full operatic with the material divides viewers.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Ti West

S-Tier Second Sight Films 4K. Ti West's third film in the X trilogy. People are holding out for either a steelbook or a trilogy box set. A German steelbook from Capelight exists with embossing. Second Sight has the limited edition for UK collectors. The X/Pearl/MaXXXine collector conversation is mostly about completing the set rather than this film individually.

Second Sight Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Ari Aster

S-Tier German Import 4K. Ari Aster's folk horror. A24's US release is a $50 USD clothbound book with a 62-page booklet, but no bonus features on the disc itself. The Japan exclusive steelbook was $130 USD and became an instant grail. A German import is the current best release label. People keep designing custom steelbooks for this film because none of the official ones quite get it right.

German Import · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George A. Romero

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Romero's killer monkey film from 1988. People consider it fun if a bit more formulaic than his other work. It gets mentioned alongside Martin as part of the Romero 4K collection people are building.

Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Patrick Lussier

S-Tier Scream Factory 4K. The 2009 3D slasher remake. Scream Factory's steelbook was available during their 13 Days sale, and DeepDiscount had it for $13 USD.

Scream Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Fred Dekker

S-Tier Scream Factory 4K. Fred Dekker's 1986 alien slug horror comedy. It only includes the director's cut, which upset some people who wanted the theatrical. People who held off on the Blu-ray were glad they waited. There was a subtitle error reported on the Shout Factory disc.

Scream Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Franck Khalfoun

When an unsuspecting woman stops at a remote gas station in the dead of night, she's made the plaything of a sociopath sniper with a secret vendetta. To survive, she must not only dodge his bullets and fight for her life, but also figure out who wants her dead and why.

Indicator · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Jordan Peele

S-Tier Universal 4K. Jordan Peele's alien horror, shot on a mix of 65mm and IMAX 65mm film. The same cinematographer and format combo used on Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer. The 4K disc scores a 4.5, and the setting really benefits from the format. The giant 4K Ultra HD logo on the case cover was widely mocked.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Robert Eggers

S-Tier Universal 4K. Eggers' 2024 Nosferatu, and the BFI 4K release became a controversy when the transfer turned out to be heavily processed with DNR and possible AI smoothing. OrbitDVD's social media went viral telling customers to stop asking them for refunds on a disc they didn't make. The Universal US steelbook from GRUV was pre-ordered in droves after the BFI debacle, and a second steelbook with better artwork and debossing followed.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Dario Argento

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.

Plaion Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Ti West

Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions collide.

Second Sight Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Michael Powell

S-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Michael Powell's 1960 horror that ended his career. The new 4K restoration played in art house theaters and the reception was strong. The old Blu-ray was never that good, so this is a meaningful upgrade. People love to point out this is better than Psycho, which came out the same year. Scorsese helped revive the film's reputation decades later.

StudioCanal · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Yeon Sang-ho

S-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Train to Busan's sequel. Thin collector discussion, mostly appearing in pre-owned pickup posts.

Arizona ants mock the food chain on their way to a desert lab to get two scientists and a woman.

88 Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Dario Argento

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.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Tobe Hooper

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K with a 4.5 score. Tobe Hooper's haunted house film, and the Best Buy steelbook art was widely hated. People said the iconic "girl in front of TV" image would have been far better. A Film Vault special edition with The Shining is coming in August 2025, and Shout Factory is releasing Poltergeist II in 4K. Some collectors have been disc-swapping their 4K into older steelbook shells with better art.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Brandon Cronenberg

S-Tier Second Sight Films 4K with a 4.5 score. Brandon Cronenberg's body-horror thriller, and one of the most underrated horror films of the 2020s. Second Sight's limited edition had people double-dipping from the basic US release. Someone's copy from Diabolik came signed by the director unexpectedly. Green Room is getting the same Second Sight 4K treatment.

Second Sight Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. John Carpenter

S-Tier StudioCanal 4K with a 4.5 score. Carpenter's second Apocalypse Trilogy entry. Scream Factory did a steelbook at $45 USD which people thought was too much, and the price eventually dropped to $34.99 USD. The StudioCanal 4-pack has better color accuracy but zero special features, while Scream Factory's has Atmos but messed up the colors.

StudioCanal · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Kim Tae-gon

Due to sudden deteriorating weather conditions, visibility on the Airport Bridge is severely impaired, leaving people stranded and at risk of the bridge collapsing due to a series of chain collisions and explosions. Amidst the chaos, the canine subjects "Echo" from the military experiment "Project Silence," who were being transported in secret, break free, and all human survivors become targets of relentless attacks.

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

S-Tier Universal 4K. Hitchcock's black-and-white photography has more detail at this resolution than the Blu-ray ever delivered, and the shower scene has never had this much information in it, for better or worse. The Bernard Herrmann score in lossless is half the reason the film still works as well as it does. Considered required viewing in any best-horror-discs discussion.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Richard Franklin

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. The Psycho sequel that's actually good. Arrow's release is the consensus pick over the Scream Factory and Universal versions. People looking for the best transfer are pointed to Arrow.

dir. Stuart Gordon

S-Tier Ignite Films 4K. Stuart Gordon's 1985 horror comedy, and it's had two competing 4K releases. Ignite's deluxe edition was expensive, and when Second Sight announced their own version, people who held off felt vindicated. The Second Sight limited edition is now OOP. The Arrow Blu-ray was the previous go-to.

Ignite Films · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Chris McKay

The Walmart steelbook got attention for its artwork, and not in a good way. Multiple comments flagged it as AI-generated art, with spider legs that don't add up. The film itself is fun but lightweight, and most people paired it with Nosferatu as a double feature pick rather than buying it on its own merits.

Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Jean Rollin

Part of Indicator's expanding Jean Rollin 4K run, announced alongside The Escapees. The boutique crowd is happy Indicator keeps going deeper into Rollin's catalog. Grapes of Death and Iron Rose are the two most requested titles next. Niche even by boutique standards, but the people who want it really want it.

Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. David Cronenberg

Second Sight's 4K trilogy box has some of the best cover art in the boutique space. Only the first film is actually in 4K, which caught some buyers off guard. The original Scanners remains a Cronenberg essential and Second Sight's limited edition treatment gives it the packaging it deserves. Videodrome in 4K from Criterion is the companion disc most collectors pair it with.

Second Sight Films · 4K + Blu-ray

S-Tier transfer buzzing across four platforms this week. The franchise is split between Paramount and Lionsgate right now with Scream 7 and Scream 4 both announced, so collectors are budgeting for multiple labels.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Wes Craven

Paramount's steelbook matched the style of the first film's release, which collectors appreciated. The franchise set is one of those collections where people buy all of them or none of them. S-Tier transfer and the steelbook design with Ghostface on the back connecting to Scream 1 is a nice touch.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Wes Craven

The weakest film in the franchise but collectors buying the steelbook set need it for completion. Scream 4 was the missing piece that annoyed everyone for months, since 3 came out on 4K before 4 did, leaving a visible gap on the shelf. S-Tier transfer regardless of how you feel about the film.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Aldo Lado

Two competing 4K editions from Celluloid Dreams and 88 Films. The 88 Films Italian Collection has built a strong reputation for giallo and horror titles, and their version is comparable to the Celluloid Dreams release. Both have strong extras packages. A niche giallo that rewards collectors who dig into Italian genre cinema.

Celluloid Dreams · 4K Ultra HD

dir. M. Night Shyamalan

The HMV steelbook misspelled Shyamalan's name on the cover, which is both hilarious and telling. The original steelbook with metallic finish and debossed artwork is a $200 USD grail that people refuse to sell. The standard release artwork is universally hated. The film itself gets strong collector affection, and the S-Tier Disney 4K with archival features is well-stocked.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Charles E. Sellier Jr.

Scream Factory's S-Tier 4K of the controversial Santa slasher. The Imprint Parts 1 + 2 special edition is a massive package that surprised buyers with its size. The Lionsgate steelbook at over $50 USD got pushback on pricing. A seasonal purchase that reliably sells every October and December.

Scream Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

The Prince of Darkness casts his undead shadow once more over the cursed village of Kleinenberg when his ashes are splashed with bat's blood and Dracula is resurrected.

But after they discover his blood-drained corpse in Dracula's castle necropolis, the Vampire Lord's lustful vengeance begins.

The new 4K steelbook got people hoping the entire Cornetto trilogy would follow. The 4K transfer itself is divisive, with at least one commenter calling the Shaun/Hot Fuzz/World's End set maybe the worst 4K discs they own. Gruv's 3-for-$30 and Amazon deals keep the price reasonable. The Cornetto trilogy 4K set has been as low as $27 USD on Amazon, making it the better value over individual steelbooks.

The US 4K announcement was massive. People who had just imported the Japanese version without English subs immediately regretted it. The steelbook, standard, and deluxe collector's edition all sold well, with the deluxe being the only version that includes the black and white cut. People kept trying to get Criterion to release it, but the existing editions already cover every angle. Top 4 Godzilla films in 4K is now possible with this, Godzilla (1954), Godzilla Minus One, and the Legendary MonsterVerse entries.

Universal A-Tier 4K. McAvoy's performance is the reason people own this. The 4K steelbook pairs nicely with Unbreakable and Glass for the trilogy shelf, and collectors who own all three tend to admit Glass is the weak link. The 3.5 score reflects an early Universal disc that's fine but not a showpiece.
