Severin is killing it of late, if only the service was up to par w/ the release quality, they'd really have some momentum going. I'm definitely buying this one though. Four Flies turned out fantastic!
2 more but I've seen the theory that 1 is almost surely a Wax Mask 4k upgrade (which I'd be game for), so I guess yeah 1 more unknown title.
Probably Stendhal Syndrome for the other. Inferno (if at all) will be a ways out. Aside from those I'm probably good, the later Argentos do nothing for me.
I always thought The Stendhal Syndrome would be coming from Blue Underground. Do they no longer have the rights?
But yeah, other than Stendhal, Opera and Inferno are the only 2 Argento titles left that I care about owning in 4K.
I don't think the 4K titles were limited to a specific label. As we've seen the titles from Arrow and Synapse as well. I'd assume BU might be the one, but I know 4K rights differ from BR rights, so who knows.
