Synapse Films · 4K + Blu-ray

4 Synapse Films 4K + Blu-ray films on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality. 2 S-Tier picks including Demons, Suspiria.

Suspiria(1977)

7.5/10

dir. Dario Argento

S-Tier

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.

S-Tier

Synapse's 2021 Limited Edition packages both Demons and Demons 2 on 4K from new 35mm OCN restorations with Dolby Vision. The set was limited to 6,000 copies and is OOP, so resellers are the only way in now. Three versions of the film are included (International English, Italian, US English), plus the movie ticket repro collectors still talk about.
