I suppose there now simply is no excuse for studios like Paramount to be releasing terrible 4K UHDs of their own films, when something like Cannibal Holocaust gets what Robert Harris would probably declare to be a "night and day" reference-quality release No, wait! Don't leave! It really is an incredible, lovingly restored package, for what is considered to be the film world's worst-ever film! Go figure! And the only reason to purchase a new 4K UHD version of the most notorious Video Nasty of them all (unless you absolutely have to have a row of notorious video nasties next to the Criterion Collection section in your library), is that is has a terrific commentary by erstwhile horror/cult film legend Kim Newman and author/broadcaster Barry Forshaw. You can just sit and watch the horrors unfold on a transfer to rival the just-released 4K UHD of Wings Of Desire for picture quality, while being entertained by a jovial commentary, putting the whole wretched experience into perspective. Much better than the Ruggero Deodato one on the Grindhouse Releasing blu-ray - you don't want to listen to the director, or anyone who had anything to do with the production, believe me.
Quite astonishing that the British Board of Film Classification now passes this for home video release!
