We’re kicking things off this week with a pair of new disc reviews...

Tim has posted his thoughts on Neil Jordan’s The Company of Wolves (1984) in 4K Ultra HD from Scream Factory.

And Stephen has checked in with his take on Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Best Picture-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) in 4K Ultra HD from A24 via Lionsgate.

In announcement and release news today, we have several interesting items for you...

First, our friends at MVD Entertainment have revealed the first 4K title in their MVD Rewind Collection, and it’s none other than Wes Craven’s Swamp Thing (1982)! Look for it to arrive on 7/25, and it will include both the Unrated International Version as well as the US Theatrical Version (which is rated PG). The title is also coming to Blu-ray that same day. You can see the cover artwork above left and also below.

Both versions are restored from new 16-bit 4K scans of the original camera negative, presented in the correct 1.85 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision HDR and audio in English 2.0 mono in DTS-HD Master Audio format (as well as Spanish mono). [Read on here...]

We’ve got three new disc reviews for you this morning to start the week off right...

Stephen has taken a look at the wide Amaray release of Paul W.S. Anderson’s Event Horizon (1997) in 4K Ultra HD, as well as Adam and Aaron Nee’s The Lost City (2022) in 4K Ultra HD, both from Paramount.

And I’ve reviewed Matthew Robbins’ long-awaited Dragonslayer (1983) in 4K Ultra HD Steelbook from Paramount as well. This is a terrific remaster that’s also now available in Blu-ray format, so fans of the film should be very pleased.

More reviews are forthcoming, as always, so be sure to stay tuned for them.

Now then, we’ve got a few good things to report here at The Bits today, in terms of new and catalog title release news...

First, Umbrella Entertainment is taking pre-orders on a new Blu-ray Limited Collector’s Edition of the 1967 Rankin/Bass classic Mad Monster Party. [Read on here...]
