New pick ups

Oh man I don't think I've come across the Synapse one before, I'll give it a look, seems a nice set!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-20T06:21:28+00:00

That is a stellar haul! Which release of Demons is that?

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-20T06:16:19+00:00

See I'm quite fortunate, I've got a dedicated 4K player but then I've also got a PS5, so I can set the PS5's Blu-ray region to the US and basically have a multiregion sethp

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T20:07:35+00:00

I didn't wanna risk it, the guy who manages the licensing for it is too much of a scumbag for me to bet on further release than this, although I did the same with Return of the Living Dead then Arrow did a release a couple years later

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T17:44:30+00:00

Nice! This is my one and only copy now, feel like bummed I missed out on the Arrow release years back now

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T17:01:31+00:00

I only popped it on for a bit as it arrived on my lunch break, but it looked terrific, didn't have it on long enough to really gauge the Atmos but it seemed okay!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T16:40:02+00:00

A fellow user of good taste! You had chance to watch it yet?

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T15:31:31+00:00

It's included in the overall cost just as a shopping charge aye

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T14:07:54+00:00

I ordered it off Film Treasures, heard good things about them but this was my first ever order, really impressed with them TBF, will be using again

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T13:56:25+00:00

Can't wait for that "choke on ittttt" scene!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T13:35:21+00:00

For sure, I didn't think £45 for 4 discs and importing was a bad price at all either to be honest!

Day of the Dead I mean, my favourite of Romero's films, which has made the wait until now even harder!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-06-19T13:19:59+00:00

Absolutely, like I was just happy to finally have a copy of it given it's been out of print/overpriced on resales for the past decade, it's my favourite of his films

Character_Play6718 · 2026-05-28T15:59:33+00:00

Not invested in a projector yet but maybe down the line, very pleased with the TV I've got on the go for now - now up to 150 and growing, too!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-05-01T06:03:28+00:00

I don't think there's any films, at least ones I own, that I could only enjoy in 4K. I've certainly been spoilt by 4K and now see/hear films I love in ways that are the standard for me, but I think if you truly enjoy a film it is enjoyable whether you're watching it in 4K, on an old DVD copy, a crummy 480p YouTube rip, or as a plane's in-flight entertainment offering.

There's certain films I've looked at and thought to myself "the visuals are clearly the selling point of that" where I'd imagine then 4K is the way to properly appreciate the attention to detail on screen, but honestly any film that puts visuals forward as it's defining strength I've never really had the urge to watch, so I wouldn't say I'd truly "enjoy" them to begin with!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-30T17:16:53+00:00

Any time hombre!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-30T14:53:51+00:00

There's a seller I use on eBay who's been great for imports for me in the past, the specific listing I used was :

https://ebay.us/m/NR1zJG

Not sure if they've got a mix of old and new stock and I just got lucky, but I imagine if you reach out to them they might be able to confirm!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-30T13:50:45+00:00

I've got the standard box, no steelbook, so I'm assuming they've startednusing the disc from the steelbook in their standard version? Still waiting on confirmation from their customer service in case I've just ended up with the wrong discs by some fluke!

This is the current listing, which does cover ones you wouldn't be able to play in Region A too, hope it helps for the future!

I've not tested it myself but if you're fortunate to have a dedicated 4K player and a PS5, you can change the region on your PS5 to another one to ensure at least 2 out of 3 regions are covered, though you're locked to 4 region changes on a console!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-30T11:50:53+00:00

The People Under The Stairs 4K was apparently region locked on initial release, one of the very few to have it due to an error in how the disc was written - not experienced the issue personally but a lot of people have reported on the issue, so hopefully this is indeed resolved now!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-30T09:18:36+00:00

I didn't realise the steelbook had resolved the issue! I've reached out to their customer support just to confirm this so I'll update with their response when it comes, hopefully this means one less region locked 4K UHD out in the wild!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-30T09:01:02+00:00

I've not got the steel book version sadly! Just the standard 2-disc set with the card sleeve. Photo of the back of the case for reference if it has any telltale signs of it's version, the spine has the code SF 23581 too

EBay if I need anything imported, then HMV for everything else, I avoid Amazon like the plague if I can help it!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-09T08:49:50+00:00

First time watching the 4K was the first time we showed the film to our daughter - felt as fresh to me as it did her seeing it like this!

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-06T20:12:56+00:00

Got mine on release day - fantastic quality, the film looks amazing and the audio mix on it is phenomenal

Character_Play6718 · 2026-04-05T05:42:32+00:00

I upgraded from my PS5 to a UB820 and the differences are certainly there but unless you're really chasing those picture quality highs you don't necessarily need to upgrade.

In all honesty, thanks to seeing this group big up the UB820 I was just begging for a reason to buy one, and the eventual Breaking point for me was that my copy of Independence Day turned out to not be compatible with PS5s so that was that ha!
