Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Christopher Landon
Scream Factory picked up what Universal never bothered to upgrade. The 2K DI gets an HDR10 pass that gives the disco party scenes and the nighttime slasher sequences actual color depth, and the new commentary with Christopher Landon and Jessica Rothe is the kind of extras treatment fans have wanted for years.
Scream Factory · 4K + Blu-ray
Scream Factory released both films on 4K the same day in May 2022, plus a combo box bundling them together. The 2U transfer gets a cleaner HDR pass on a slightly sharper source, and the new commentary adds Sarah Yarkin to Landon and Rothe.
dir. Marina Sargenti
Dark Force #7 from 2024, the 1990 Karen Black and Rainbow Harvest mirror-horror that ran on cable for years. The 4K HDR scan is from the original 35mm camera negative, which this film has never had before. The glow-in-the-dark slipcover sold out fast, and the standard slipcase is the easier find now.
Dark Force Entertainment · 4K Ultra HD
dir. Jimmy Huston
Dark Force shipped Final Exam in March 2023 with a glossy bloody slipcover. Jimmy Huston's 1981 college slasher set during exam week, more interested in dragging out the pre-kill silences than the gore most slashers chased. The 4K UHD plus standard Blu-ray combo is the only HD release of any quality.
dir. Gregory Plotkin
