Mail day!
Straight from Arrow Video: Don’t Torture a Duckling, fresh out of the oven in glorious 4K!
At the start of the year, I told myself I’d cut back on BD-to-UHD upgrades and focus on buying movies I don’t already own. But hey, there are always exceptions – for example, Fulci and other Italian gore masters need to be in the best possible format. If nothing else, just to show some support.
That said, I think most 4K releases don’t actually look that much better than Blu-ray, so it’s not always worth throwing money at UHD upgrades, especially when you could be picking up new flicks instead. Otherwise, you risk getting stuck in an endless upgrade cycle.
I still remember when the Blu-ray format hit the market. The jump from DVD (let alone VHS) to full HD was a massive leap, and movies genuinely looked so much better. Now, the difference between 1080p and 2160p in 4K is noticeably smaller… especially when it’s a half-assed cash grab.
That said, hats off to Second Sight, Severin, Arrow, and the rest who actually put time and effort into proper restorations.

Finally cracked open Cauldron Films’ The Houses of Doom box set and treated myself to a Fulci double feature: The Sweet House of Horrors (1989) and The House of Clocks (1989), both from Fulci’s later work in 1989, originally made as Italian TV movies.
Sure, these don’t exactly rank among Fulci’s finest, but I gotta admit – they were super entertaining and fun watches.
The Sweet House of Horrors felt like an eerie fairy tale for adults, where a wealthy couple gets brutally murdered (in classic Fulci fashion, meaning no shortage of gore) but then returns from beyond the grave to be with their kids. The House of Clocks follows three young burglars who pick the wrong house to rob, where time itself starts playing all kinds of twisted tricks…

I’m #CurrentlyWatching #DarioArgento’s #Suspiria for probably the 300th time, but I believe this is the first time I’ve ever watched it in Italian.
I didn’t turn the subtitles on either and I’m surprised at how much I’ve understood of it, thanks to #Duolingo!

#TheCaseOfTheBloodyIris, from #GiulianoCarnimeo on #Shudder.
This is another first watch for me and I was going to blind buy the 4K eventually, but I may as well watch it since I have the time and option!

#ABayOfBlood, from #MarioBava on #Shudder.
I’ve never seen this one before, but it’s considered the first #Giallo film, by most people. I loved #BloodAndBlackLace, so this should be just as much of a thrill to watch!
I just can’t seem to suppress this craving for #GialloFilms!

Update!
I did not get to follow through with those plans, but I will be seeing it through tonight! I have a craving for this strange ass film!

Let me just say, this is a beautiful 4K release! I believe I loved this more the second time watching it than I did the first!

I stayed up until midnight so that I could take advantage of the @SeverinFilms sale and purchase the #DarioArgento #Opera #4KUHD and my internet went out at like 11:45! Still managed to snag a copy at like 5am though! Very excited!

I’ve been meaning to watch this for years, but I just kept skipping out on it. I finally checked out the trailer and I couldn’t resist from that point.
