This 4k set has a decent amount of extras. The soundtrack is good. The poster and booklet are nice. The blu ray...is not the best version you can get...and is probably the weakest part of the box set. Overall the package is pretty good.
The 4k though is exceptional. This is one of those releases where you can see that the effort has really been made to make the film look good. Noticeable upticks in detail, clarity and texture. Improved colour throughout. I did wonder whether the practical special effects would be less convincing in 4k. They actually look better than they ever have and some of them are exceptionally unpleasant in the best possible way.
Some 4k releases end up being very much "for the fans" and have little to recommend them to new viewers. This is not one of those films and you could probably use this disc to show off what a good 4k conversion can be. It's not the best I've seen but it is up there with the best. Definitely recommended.

This film is a testament to how great horror's were back then compared to what we have now.
The 4k transfer is one of the best compared to blu ray, and really gives that eerie feeling of dread that the director was going for.
