4K X FOUR
OLD MOVIES NOW AVAILABLE IN UHD
A man takes revenge on the doctors who separated him from his deformed conjoined twin in Frank Henenlotter’s cult 1982 horror BASKET CASE (out now). Extras-wise, this Arrow Video release (an Arrow store exclusive) is a big upgrade on Second Sight’s trilogy box set, adding a second commentary, six interview pieces, three shorts and more; it also comes with a poster and booklet. We said: “Has lost little of its raw power… A grotty low-fi gem full of bold ideas.” Ahead of the reboot’s release, why not revisit the original 1994 version of THE CROW (out now), in which a rock musician is resurrected to avenge his fiancee’s death. The one brand new bonus here is a three-part design featurette. It comes with a poster and three postcards. We said: “Like one long flashily-edited MTV video – but a good one.” In Guillermo del Toro’s 2015 gothic romance CRIMSON PEAK (20 May), an author travels to her beloved’s ancestral mansion, where she’s visited by gruesome red ghosts. We said: “As decadent as a sofa crammed with giant, elaborately tasselled cushions… a film to luxuriate in.” Extras from Arrow’s 2019 Blu-ray are carried over; you also get a poster and four postcards. Finally, Jake Gyllenhaal keeps reliving the same eight minutes in Duncan Jones’s SOURCE CODE (20 May), placed into the identity of a dead commuter to figure out who bombed a train. We said: “A movie with an indie spirit and blockbuster sensibilities… popcorn entertainment with genuine heft.”
