Could this be a new transfer?

I mean, I see the original Bluray is Region Free.
So anyone could get it.
What's the point of releasing a region locked Bluray, if it's the exact same Bluray?

This is probably the existing region-free disc, possibly coming to complete with Fox's new Frankenstein film, and/or because of the re-release of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

I.e. Sony's re-release of Bram Stoker's Dracula on Blu-ray that's happening everywhere, except for the UK, which was still the world's third largest Home Video market the last time I checked.
