Ultra HD Blu-ray Reviews

80s and 90s martial arts superstar Cynthia Rothrock’s most widely known US films - both of which are DTV classics in the small-town Walking Tall meets Chuck Norris vein - get a spiffy new 4K double-film release from Eureka that doesn’t quite prove how much Cynthia does indeed Rock…  

A fabulously heartfelt addition to the cracking alternative Christmas movies ranks, The Holdovers earns a rare UK upgrade over the US's Blu-ray in the form of Dazzler's sparkly 4K release.  

The second Ealing of the month comes along to delight a whole new audience: the unmatched Kind Hearts and Coronets now in native 4K  

Much loved: The Lavender Hill Mob comes to UHD with an all new native 4K image and in a collector's edition that is sure to please.  

The other HD MIA Jim Cameron film finally makes its way to UK shores with possibly the most controversial 4K disc of recent times. However, what may be more controversial is that the intervening years simply haven’t been kind and the film itself is sadly nowhere near as much of a classic as we all remember it to be…  

James Cameron's 1989 underwater epic The Abyss FINALLY becomes available to home HD consumers, in a stunningly - albeit controversially - remastered new 4K Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos UHD package available only in the US.  

Classic mid-90s courtroom drama, packed full of acting talent and introducing the world to the Edward Norton, that effortlessly entertains, it’s a shame that Paramount’s new 4K blu release will be found guilty of some of the studio’s usual crimes against ‘filmic restorations’…  

Lamberto Bava’s too-gory-for-TV riff on all things Argento and De Palma is an average entry into the late Giallo cycle, which earns its keep thanks to some well executed kills. And 88 Films deliver all that blood in a really strong technical 4K package to boot…  

There's a demon in the fields, let's get the kids to kill each other - a bit extreme? Not for Blood on Satan's Claw, now in 4K.  

The second of Lucio Fulci’s classic Gates of Hell splatter trilogy to get a UK 4K release, Arrow deliver their usual strong technical presentation with an almost overwhelmingly excellent array of extras…  

Easily one of the greatest English horror films of all time, Witchfinder General, comes to 4K, ready to burn you alive!  

Never have the words ‘Based on a True Story’ had such a profound effect on a generation…and never have they been such a lie, with the controversy around Stuart Rosenberg’s seminal haunted house classic proving to be almost as interesting as the story of the Lutz Family themselves. And with 88 films releasing the 1979 classic on a brand new 4K UHD, we can decide for ourselves what actually happened and what didn’t…  

The vicious, brutal and uncompromising Green Room comes to 4K Blu-ray, is there a way out?  

Slick, twisted, refined, and mature, not only a good cheese but also Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor, newly minted in native 4K  

John Carpenter’s most emotional film still radiates charm and warmth despite its underlying tone of sadness and loss. And it's all the more beautiful on this stunning new 4K restoration from Sony as part of their ongoing Columbia Classics boxsets…  

After a slew of defining 80s action classics, Schwarzenegger shifted to a decade of alternating action with comedy, with mixed results on both sides. But at least Arnie fans get to come one step closer to completing their 4K collection courtesy of Kino's US disc.  

Want to know how to transport highly explosive nitro-glycerine over treacherous terrain safely? BFI's wonderful native 4K restoration of The Wages of Fear shows you how (not to).  

Francis Ford Coppola’s audacious musical failure still doesn’t right all of its wrongs after over 40 years… but there’s no failure like a Coppola failure, especially now in a dazzling 4K restoration from Studiocanal, complete with a huge number of extras to at least soften the blow somewhat… 4K COMPETITION LINK ADDED.
