6.4/10

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.

Pulp Fiction(1994)

8.5/10

dir. Quentin Tarantino

S-Tier Deltamac 4K with a 4.5 score. Tarantino's defining film, and the 4K announcement was met with enormous excitement. Someone ordered from Best Buy and received an unsealed copy with no disc inside, which became its own little saga. The steelbook front art was disliked while the back and inside were praised. Tarantino personally approved the transfer.

Deaf Crocodile's Craig Rogers did a new 4K transfer from the original 35mm camera negative, with a fresh HDR grade that rates reference. The Standard Edition is still in stock, and the 2,500-copy Deluxe Limited Edition from Dec 2024 is the chase version. A hard-boiled noir told from a cat's perspective.

7.1/10

dir. Oliver Stone

Shout Factory 4K with a solid transfer, but the 4K disc is Director's Cut only. If you prefer the Theatrical cut you're stuck with the included Blu-ray. People mis-file it as a Tarantino film even though Oliver Stone directed it.

dir. Frank Darabont

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. People who thought it looked flat on DVD and Blu-ray say the 4K is the first version that really looks right. The Film Vault steelbook has nice artwork and gets talked about a lot. More of a film that just looks like film for the first time on home video than a flashy demo disc.

Shout Factory's 2025 4K landed badly. The steelbook artwork got dragged the day it leaked, with people calling it AI slop and asking why nobody just used the original poster. The standard slipcase Collector's Edition was the alternative most people went with. New 35mm scan, Dolby Vision, Tom Shadyac's old commentary carries over. Sequel demand is loud but Shout hasn't bitten yet.

Available on 4K only via Warner's 7 Film Collection boxset from September 2025. New Nightmare gets the original 5.1 mix preserved alongside a new Atmos pass, and the meta-fictional Hollywood-set framing benefits more from the cleaner remaster than the early sequels do. Boiler Room Confessional touches on this film alongside the others.

The 4K transfer was called 'very nice overall' with one caveat about whites running slightly blue. The consensus is that this is the best version we're getting. Bryan Cranston has a voice role and apparently nobody remembers this until someone brings it up.
