I've owned this on every format since it's release (I've still to compare the Second Sight disc) and this release is the best it's going to get.
I understand what you are saying Reaps but Dog Soldiers isn't a good example. The massive jump in clarity is down to the fact the new 4K scan is from the recently found original camera negative whilst all the previous releases have been bog-standard prints. You were bound to get a massive jump in clarity even if it had been a BR-only release.

I do understand the desire for UHDs. However, if I was to upgrade my collection every time one was issued I'd have no money for releases of films I'd never seen before. If there are others like me but are inclined towards the UHD upgrades then that has to hit sales of more obsure titles doesn't it?

Personally, I'm (mostly) only buying 4Ks of films I don't already have in any HD format unless it's proven to have a far superior transfer or it's a firm favourite of mine. I just couldn't afford to get all of the new 4Ks coming out, especially now as they are gaining momentum and more and more it's a UHD of a film which has very recently had a new remastered bluray which already looks perfectly fine.

Believe it or not I hadn't ever seen Dog Soldiers previously (I had mistaken it for the Jamie Bell Doomwatch film) and it does look fantastic. Sometimes though the difference between BD and the UHD is minimal and at least £10 dearer! Even more with this current trend of a hard box and 60 page booklet, poster and art cards which you look at the day you buy and then never again

That being said though, there are some bloody good looking UHDs out there, Jaws for example!

Got back fromholiday yesterday to a pile of deliveries.

Great to see THE FUNHOUSE and THE FOG with reversible artwork!

Hopefully this'll be the norm going forward with their 4k releases.

""A GLOOMY, FANTASTICAL UNIVERSE FILLED WITH GNARLED TREES, WICKED THORNBUSHES, CLAMMY MISTS, TORTUROUS PATHS ... THE MOVIE HAS AN UNCANNY HYPNOTIC FORCE ..." – Roger Ebert

Fascinating and imaginative, this riveting thriller from director Neil Jordan (Interview With The Vampire) brings the timeless tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" and werewolf fables together in a haunting, compelling and eerie way.

A wise grandmother (Angela Lansbury) tells her granddaughter Rosaleen (Sarah Patterson) a disturbing tale of innocent maidens falling in love with handsome strangers ... and of their sudden mysterious disappearances when the moon is full and accompanied by the strange sound of a beast in the woods. Nominated for four BAFTA awards including Best Costume Design, Best Make Up Artist, Best Production Design/Art Direction and Best Special Visual Effects, The Company Of Wolves is a tale that will chill you like no other ..."

Three times already I've went through the checkout process at Amazon US to get The Company of Wolves, but in the end I give up because I cannot possibly justify the €50 total cost. As much as I absolutely love this film! Maybe it will be reissued just for Blu-ray, without the 4K disc, which might make it a little less costly?
