Perfect vid! I've still got my Anchor Bay set, but just bought the SS 4K set. Seriously happy to own both.

I have the anchor bay Blu-ray. I’m considering getting the 4k set. But I don’t like the fact that the special features are on a disc that I won’t be able to play here in the U.S. Because of this, I believe Anchor Bay is still the best release. But damn, I didn’t know about these hardbound books, mall maps, or comics came with them. Might need to get them all

Thanks for your fascinating insight about the differences between the various sets. Very useful. I've got a few sets now and would have to agree the second sight D.A.T.D is the ultimate for fans. I can't get my head around people moaning about the "lack of grain " and how the new version looking too cleaned up. Ridiculous. The 4k version looks awesome. And that includes the Argento cut which is the oddity in my books but still is great. Great review here
@ScottReviews3 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much Martin!!! I can’t imagine Dawn of the Dead looking any better than the Second Sight release. There’s more grain on the Argento cut but that transfer doesn’t come from the camera negative like the theatrical and extended cuts. What gets me is when noise reduction and sharpening is applied to images to make them sharper and cleaner, but I didn’t see any of that on the Second Sight so not sure why some are concerned about the lack of grain. It’s there, but just fine grain because it’s from the ocn, not a generation or more down the line.

Why is there no North American release for an American movie? SMH.. No way I am throwing down that kind of money to import a bunch of discs that won't even play on my Bluray player. I can still be happy with my Ultimate Edition set. It's really old now, but still great.
@ScottReviews3 жыл бұрын
I hope there’s a US equivalent at some point! The circulating rumor is the rights are held up because the films producer is asking more for licensing especially after he commissioned a very expensive 3-D conversion that’s made the rounds in screenings. The Ultimate Edition DVD is one of my favorite dvd releases.
@Will21st3 жыл бұрын
whilst it's American made the rights are held by Rubinstein for English speaking countries and Dario Argento for everywhere else. UK is added to the European market so Argento holds the rights, and he is not asking for anywhere near as much as Rubinstein, afaik.

I think the releases of Dawn of the Dead had been multiple times analyzed. But what about "Day Of The Dead" ? And there is one certain aspect which does not really matter to almost anyone. Preservation of movies shot in Full screen. Before Laserdics and DVDs I had Videocassettes (VHS). So naturally also of Day of the Dead. I was excited when it was released on Laserdisc, then DVD, then Blu Ray. But what happened? On the VHS you see the whole movie, but then not anymore. Just check it! They just cut away the top and the bottom. Then they called it "16:9 / Letterbox / Widescreen". Hey, I can fool myself, can I ? Imagine a photograph of yourself being cut on the top and bottom. So your forehead, the hair (or the bald) and your throat are not to be seen anymore. And if you think you therefore can see more / new information on the left and/or right hand side, think again! So in short, they cut the whole movie !

Nice video man. I love this film and this boxset. One of the greatest horror films of all time. Also have all the other editions you have and was wondering, do you find this new 4k set the colors in the picture seem a bit muted and darker compared to other editions? I was watching on a 1080p plasma with no dolby vision or HDR. I know the original director of photography was involved with the color timing and was wondering did they base this color timing remaster on a perfectly projected version of the film on a big screen...

Is there a method to watch the new 4k remaster in the original aspect ratio (non wide-screen) that I'm missing in the options menu? I've been enjoying my director's cut dvd for years, and it's my preferred ratio for DOTD, so a little disappointed with this new release.

talk to Richard Rubenstein. He has the rights to the film for the US anyway. He apparently spent a bunch of money converting the movie to 3D but wanted a shitload of money to release it which no one would pay so he is holding the rights captive to try and recoupe his loss by charging a shitload of money to release it on dvd again. So it is out of print in the US at this moment. I got my copies back in 2004 or so. I am good at least.
