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.

by Mark Costello

This long-awaited sequel to the 2020 remake of the original classic RPG adds a fresh twist, both in terms of its storyline and gameplay, but can it live up to the weight of expectation?
A loose adaptation of Alasdair Gray's novel, Poor Things is a perfect confluence of art and message, idea and execution, writing and design, Yorgos Lanthimos follows up his Oscar winning film 'The Favourite' with a bona fide masterpiece. UPDATE - Now on Disney+ in 4KDV/DA
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).

After holding back on a few specifics at CES, a recent German showcase introduced some further details on its OLED and QLED ranges, along with some quoted (but TBC) European prices.
The freshly posted listings on its US store for the new 2024 OLEDs point to a late March arrival with prices starting from $2,599 and $1,499 respectively.
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.
Disney+’s lavish and brutal new adaptation of the James Clavell novel hits our screens with its beautiful sense of blood-soaked intrigue and fog-shrouded mystery apparent from the very first frames…
A Holiday Special of a Marvel movie, it's unsurprising to find the 33rd MCU entry amidst the three lowest rated, and once again Disney display a complete disdain towards the very physical media that might help this flop break even, releasing it on 4K HDR after its streaming bow, and without the Disney+ trappings of Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhancement.
Indie director John Sayles' finest feature, the Neo-Western, Lone Star, is a richly crafted mystery drama, and a fine addition to the Criterion Collection.
Launching as a Gravity-esque space survival flick, this new Apple TV+ Noomi Rapace sci-fi vehicle soon flashes its mystery box teeth with heady notions of quantum physics and a lot more going on under the hood than you might expect.
New analysis and previous history point to a late Q3 or Q4 launch window, but just what we can expect from an upgraded PlayStation 5? And what could Microsoft and Nintendo have in response?
Frank ‘Basket Case’ Henenlotter’s first film in 17 years takes his penchant for the scuzzy extreme but sadly removes any of the emotional pathos that became his trademark. Doesn’t stop Severin from pulling out all the stops though with a new 4K rebuild and solid set of extras for its new UHD Blu-ray release…
Romano Scavolini’s grindhouse slasher with delusions of grandeur drags itself out of video nasty infamy and bizarrely onto 4K from genre boutique extraordinaire Severin for their first UHD blu-ray release in the UK. And it looks exactly as it should…grotty.

by Ian Collen

Alligator & Alligator II: The Mutation 4K Blu-ray Review
by Mark Costello
Beloved creature feature with bite, John Sayles and Lewis Teague’s urban legend writ large and very bloody is a fun old time. Especially in this new 4K release from 101 Films that only makes one mistake…bundling its sequel in with it…
The bland and watered down sequel to its more grown-up predecessor, Conan the Destroyer delivers more effects driven set pieces, more humour and less of absolutely everything else. Including quality. It doesn’t stop Arrow from delivering another superb 4K presentation and solid roster of supplemental features for its new UHD release…
The brilliantly brutal sword and sorcery romp that kick started Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ruling of 1980s Hollywood is given a lavish and superb 4K presentation and release from the US arm of Arrow Video…
