4K X FOUR
OLD MOVIES NOW AVAILABLE ON UHD
Tom Holland’s 1985 horror-comedy FRIGHT NIGHT (out now) sees a teen turn to Roddy McDowall’s late-night TV horror host to combat his vampiric neighbour. We said: “It’s still got plenty of bite… the gooey special effects hold up surprisingly well.” The US got a 4K in 2022; expect Sony’s UK Steelbook to carry over its new additions, including a cast reunion script read. In Dan O’Bannon’s RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (13 October), a chemical leak causes partying punks to be caught up in an outbreak of fast-moving and (for the first time) brains-hungry zombies. We said: “Studded with moments of delicious jet-black comedy… a flavoursome blend of sweet and sour.” This Arrow Video Limited Edition replicates the (copious) bonuses from Second Sight’s 2013 Blu-ray. But hey, you do get a poster! Warm up for Tron: Ares by watching Jeff Bridges’s programmer get transported into the videogame he’s designing in the original 1982 TRON (out now). We said: “The years have not been kind… Now we’ve seen CGI create the giant blue catpeople of Pandora, the fact that the story is threadbare is left all too exposed.” No new bonuses here. A 4K of 2010’s Tron: Legacy is also available. Finally, David Lynch’s polarising prequel TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME(13 October) follows the last week of Laura Palmer’s life. We said: “A classic film and a failure all in one; rich, sick, staccato and strange.” This Criterion Collection release carries over extras from their 2021 Blu-ray.
