The problem with Kino Lorber isn't usually the master but the subpar encoding done by them (or whoever they subcontract that to). So if i get to choose between Kino Lorber and Arrow based on the same master, i'd take the Arrow release 10 out of 10 times.
I want a Pepsi challenge video comparing the two Basterd transfers. I actually don't hate the original 4k because I jumped from dvd to 4k. The HDR 10 really enhanced it
That's odd that Inglorious Basterds doesn't have a new transfer considering how controversial the 4K one is. I thought it looked great on an OLED with HDR10+.
I'm the same way Ken... I'd rather give my money to older catalogue titles that were treated with true love and care, than $45 Disney releases that'll be $20 in 3 months.
I got Variant A. Synapsefilms website is back up and now everything is available. Would have liked to order direct from them. Sold out now on Diabolik and orbit
In 1986 I was 14, at that time up here in Canada some R rated films were rated AA here (Adult Accompaniment 14 and older). I did see Trick or Treat in theaters way back when and even though I was right into all the horror stuff (Elm Street 4 was the first of the big slasher releases that was rated AA) I maybe saw it once more when it made its way to VHS. I'm kinda selective to what I buy on physical media in my 50's so I can't really see myself paying almost $100 CDN for the film. I already pre-ordered Inglorious Basterds from obstructed view up here as I have and could re-watch that many times more. Congrats to all that got their pre-order for Trick or Treat..
What I want is the extended version of QT’s the hateful eight as I think it’s only out on Netflix and hasn’t been released on physical media to my knowledge
I have the extended (because of the lack of a official physical release) on a Chinese blu ray on Ebay at $15 postage free. As Netflix owns the rights to the extended version I highly doubt that will ever be out on physical media.
If it's a new scan, I'll try to get that INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS edition. But it's not my priority. THE CELL, however, is an absolute must. I'm still amazed that the film was even made. And that price is excellent. I am reeeeeeeeeeally mulling over THE INCUBUS. Not a high priority for me, but to have that in my collection would be lovely. Not a fan of THE GIFT so I'm not getting it. ...you have been doing the lord's work for some time Ken. For that I shall forgive you your USUAL SUSPECTS sacrilege. On that note, I'll probably pass on it because I have the Kino edition. Possibly on sale.
I dig the variety that Arrow is into these days even though I'm not too interested in these tittles. I think this bodes well for potential cool releases I want in the coming months.
I picked up the Arrow IB from your link, used Arrow reward points to bring the price below the Blueray price. It’s not my favorite Tarantino movie, but it’s a good one.
The steelbook boxset of IB that came out in the summer was better. But both that and the arrow 4k use the same 2k upscale transfer, not a noticeable difference over the bluray. If it was a new scan it would say on arrow . All the other new scans say brand new scan from whatever source. I messaged them and they didnt even seem to know. So annoying. Edit. I had a reply from arrow customer services chat team. Its the same source but may have a different encode. So may have less compression than previous releases.
Not a fan of that coverart for The Cell but that was an instant preorder for me. Been waiting for that on 4K for a really long time I wouldn't say it's a *great* movie but it's definitely a visual treat
There’s nowhere information on Inglorious Bastards being a new transfer! Not even on Arrow’s website in the US nor in the UK. If they’d done a new transfer, although I personally would not understand why as the previous one is perfectly fine, they would had mentioned it.
What kept Incubus back was the Director insisting on only shooting the film in that ridiculous made up language Esperanto, with no English dub. Absolutely crazy for a film maker or studio.
Really enjoy this one, like many I first watched on VHS but my present version is the imported German Blu-ray; I'd love this set but I doubt if (especially being in the UK) I'll manage it... hopefully they'll at least release non-limited 4K versions later!
i preorder usual suspects, and the gift because they are uk only the rest i will wait till January hoping barnes and noble will do a 50 percent of sale correct me if im wrong but i could swear they did a 50 percent of sale in January heres hoping i want to grab the cell amd inglorious Basterds
The soundtrack for trick or treat was done by metal band fastway. The CD is arguably better than the movie. But this should be fun revisiting it. The soundtrack is amazing.
I’m not paying this much for physical media. I have a family and a house that’s more important than movies. The fact that they are only doing a limited run of the release is frustrating. Trick or Treat is a movie I’m actually interested in but I’m not putting it my credit card and getting into debt just for a movie. It’s not worth it and if boutique labels want to charge over blown price for their releases that I’m going to get out of the physical media collecting.
I hear ya. I have only purchased one movie from them-‘Cemetery Man’-and it was about the same price as this release. The only reason I got it was (1) it was a title that went from DVD to 4K, but more importantly (2) the timing of the year was good-early December-so I treated it as a Christmas present purchase, which it honestly was, but for myself. But I did initially wonder if I’d have to take out a second mortgage to cover the price. This label really has to find a way to bring their prices down!
I was able to snag a copy of cover variant C of "Trick or Treat" (1986) directly from Synapse. I liked all 3 covers quite a bit but option C appealed to me the most. Pretty pricey but well worth it in my opinion as this is one of my all time favorite 80's horror movies.
Trick or Treat is actually a fun film, but not $66.66 fun. 😂I already have the 4k steelbook of Inglourious Basterds so I probably won't bother with the Arrow. The Cell I pre-ordered right away. I love that film. I might buy the Usual Suspects. I've never seen the film, but the price is good and I probably should get it.
I got my trick or treat cover a. I love the set but i think they missed the opportunity to add another cool item to the set if it was me i would have added a couple guitar picks with sammi ccurrs name on the front and the pentagram on the back
I am curious about how many of the 6,666 copies went to Diabolik and Orbit. I did see a reply from Synapse on Facebook saying a standard is planned but has not went into production yet.
Of course he's trying to keep up with the Joneses by dropping over $70 on a movie he's never seen and might not even like. And of course he can't wait to get a third Inglorious Basterds 4k even though he still hasn't watched either of the two he already has.
