On October 27, cult classic The Frighteners will make its North American 4K UHD debut. The supernatural horror-comedy from director Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings) and producer Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump) arrives in a Limited Edition release featuring a 4K restoration from the original camera negative. A Limited Edition Blu-ray version can be purchased.

Psychic Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox, Back to the Future) runs an exorcism scam on the people of Fairwater. He can actually communicate with the dead, enlisting spirits from the cemetery to stage home hauntings before charging the owners to bust the ghosts. Things get really scary when Frank sees a burning number on the forehead of a homeowner during a grift. Is this number tied to the mysterious and sudden deaths around town? FBI agent Milton Dammers (Jeffrey Combs, Re-Animator) suspects that Frank is responsible for more than supernatural fraud. Among the actors haunting the film are Trini Alvarado (Little Women), Dee Wallace Stone (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), Jake Busey (Starship Troopers), Chi McBride (Gone in 60 Seconds), John Astin (The Addams Family), and R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket).

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of both cuts; original lossless theatrical mix in DTS-HD MA 5.1 (theatrical cut only) and original lossless 2.0 stereo audio (both cuts), plus DTS-HD MA 5.1 home video mix (both cuts), and optional Dolby Atmos remix (director’s cut only); optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; a collectors’ booklet; an audio commentary by Peter Jackson (director’s cut only); Peter Jackson’s introduction to the film; the theatrical trailer; open matte versions of both cuts on Blu-ray; a feature-length documentary with new interviews with actors Dee Wallace Stone, Jake Busey, and more; an archival  225-minute documentary; and image gallery.

Her boyfriend, banned pro quarterback Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans, Major Payne), doesn’t think she needs Joe’s protection. The two men clash until danger strikes.

Nice to see that they've added an Atmos mix for this release, plus some new special features for those of us that learning more about the movie.  The picture quality on the trailer looks great!

The B&W episode was so far-fetched even for Sci-Fi, and the "vacation" planet episode basic premise was the only way you can have fun is to be intoxicated or on drugs (not surprising coming out of Hollywood). SMH

Reading that, I am reminded of the last line of the first Pike episode (The Cage)

”They have a fantasy, you have reality. May your way be as pleasant.”

Barry, I assume you're watching "Strange New Worlds" as well? I thought Season 3 was excellent, but thus far Season 4 hasn't matched it (not even close). What do you think of it?

Once again you are exactly right. instead of going when no man has gone before they are giving us episodes out of continuity. also, they are trying to make this an ensemble. Instead of concentrating on 304 the main characters, as the original series did, they are trying very hard to highlight supporting characters. I did like the puppets only because they look so well, but instead of giving us plots and good stories, they are giving us gimmicks in every episode

David,

Please keep reviewing everything. I really enjoy your reduce and look forward to them. But instead of writing my old reviews, I just give us a source for them.

it may surprise you that I have the complete set of DVDs of Deep Space 9. I also have the complete set of Voyager and enterprise. Voyager is a DVD and enterprise is Blu-ray. And along with the next generation, in Blu-ray, I have Picard.  I also have Star Trek the animated series from the 1970s.
