It's a weird one, like a media book but with a steelbook casing instead of a hardcover book.
My friend did tell me that the Sleepy Hollow 4K UHD only looked a bit better than the copy he sent me. So assuming he's right (he normally is), I guess the folks that are expecting a very dramatic improvement from the 1080p options are gonna be in for a bit of a shock.

Apparently the 1080p version isn't that much better than the dvd either according to what i've heard.

No the blu-ray isn't meant to be great. Why I've never bothered given the dvd is good enough. A decent restoration I'd be interested.

I'll probably end up getting the recent Blu in time for Halloween. Although the picture may not be that larger improvement i'd like to hear the soundtrack in DTS 5:1 rather than simply Dolby Digital.

I have the digital 4k on my Apple account and it’s miles better than the old Blu-ray. But it’s not a reference quality 4k by any means. So if there is a new Blu it should look great.

From the cover it looks like a top shelf parody of Indiana Jones.
