I watched 88's Witchfinder General UHD last night. What a beautiful presentation of a truly wonderful film. I've previously owned the original UK BD and the Shout Vincent Price Collection version. This blows them both out of the water. Highly recommended.

Couldn't agree more. Who on earth thought it was appropriate?! If it was such a great idea, why not put it on all of them?! It's ridiculous.

Those original Special Edition DVDs had the best use of animated menus I've seen on any title in any format. Absolutely fantastic. I'd love to have a 4K set, but I agree - they don't seem to be coming any time soon. (Mind you, we all said that about True Lies...)

My favourite film of all time, no question. I've seen it countless times, and take away something new with each viewing. The very definition of 'masterpiece'. I've owned it on VHS, LD, DVD and Criterion BD. I proudly display an original USA 1-sheet on my living room wall, and own a copy of the...

I've always loved this film since seeing it at the cinema all those years ago. I didn't buy the original 4K, so this seems like a good opportunity. I wonder if any of those deleted scenes will feature the violence cut from the legendary NC-17 version...?!

Fantastic - I used to rent this on VHS on a fairly regular basis. Such a fun film. "Volvo - they're boxy but they're good".

Great - thanks for the heads-up! Just bought it and scanned through. It looks great. Looking forward to watching it this weekend.

I agree with the sentiments above - the "gratitude" is all on our part. TT has released some of my favourite discs of the last 10 years, including a few of my all-time favourite films that I never thought I'd see on BD, especially in such beautiful editions. Releases such as Murphy's Law (with...

I grew up watching a recorded-from-TV VHS version of this. It always used to scare me senseless, particularly the Dr. Zarkov 'brain drain' sequence. Absolutely terrifying! I'll very much look forward to getting this on UHD - the colours should looks incredible with a decent HDR transfer. Bravo...

I wrote to Shout regarding the incorrect aspect ratio - they're making a replacement disc available. All credit to them for dealing with this quickly. The email was as follows: During the authoring process of Earthquake [Collector’s Edition], an error in outputting the master changed the...

Absolutely - sorry for the confusion. It's a PG-rating at the start of the film. My mistake entirely. Perhaps I was confusing it with the far-better (in my opinion) Charlton Heston 70s disaster epic: Two-Minute Warning!

That would certainly make sense; Shout's version also features the Sensurround warning and the R-rating at the start of the film - perhaps those were on prints only. Shout say they performed a 2K transfer of "original film elements" rather than original camera negative, so perhaps they used a...

I watched my copy of the new Shout! Factory Earthquake last night. As reported in another forum, the theatrical version's aspect ratio appears to be closer to 2.2:1 than the correct 2.39:1 original. I initially thought my TV's overscan settings had reverted back to factory setting... Can...

This is great news - can't wait to see the results. I very much hope both cuts are on this release. Alternatively of course, I'll just have to buy the US and UK releases separately, just as I did with the BD!

Thank you all. It looks like I'll be joining the Apple TV club very soon! Your help is much appreciated.
