Coming from Camera Obscura Filmdistribution...

Unsere heutige Ankündigung ist ausnahmsweise ein Titel, den jeder kennt (oder kennen sollte), denn er landet immer wieder auf der ein oder anderen Liste der besten Horrorfilme aller Zeiten. Die Rede ist von Peter Medaks ganz großem Klassiker THE CHANGELING (hierzulande auch als DAS GRAUEN bekannt) von 1980!

Today's announcement is, for a change, a title everybody knows (or should know) since it finds its way time and again onto one list or another of the best horror films of all time. We're talking about Peter Medak's grand classic THE CHANGELING from 1980!



Definitely one of my favorite Horror films. I already have both the UK Second Sight and the US Severin releases though, so hopefully this will offer something new or different... a 4K UHD release would certainly be welcome news.

Release Date not yet announced...

Severin/Second Sight's 4k restoration was done in SDR and the US Severin BD is SDR as well. Unless Camera Obscura got a hold of the 6.5k IP scan and laid out some $$$,$$$ on HDR grading, presumably this one will be the same SDR restoration.

Severin have done a new 4K scan of the interpositive for the UHD.

Wonder how this 4K version compares; I bought the Second Sight blu-ray but wasn't really overwhelmed by the transfer and this is a movie I revisit I'd say every two years or so. Love the soundtrack as well for this.

Apparently, the Severin 4K has color issues (faces are too red) and is no great shakes.
