Yes, I saw this, but could you imaging a world where people make all kinds of claims on social media, and deliver jack sh*t?

So $32.99 for a barebones UHD with a SLIPCOVER with no BD disc included.

Dark Force is not making this an easy sale.

The Dark Force store listing is not a good place to look for release details. It often does not include details. Either have to wait for a box shot or report from Dave/other members.

There is still time pre-order DEAD PIT at the Dark Force store which will feature 4K UHD and HDR-10 as well as english sub-titles. The release will also come with a bluray of the extras and the movie.

Why are extras relegated to the Blu-rays in combo packs? Is it a space issue? I'm likely to skip watching extras if I have to change discs and it's got nothing to do with being lazy. Typically I prefer to watch another movie or something else.

Because most extras aren't produced in 4k, and there's something wonky about upscaling them all to UHD. There's a post somewhere with a label insider explaining it, and why it's become pretty standard to do things that way.

The Power
Sweet Sixteen
Sole Suhvivah
Mountain of the Cannibal God
Warlock Moon

Nice list! I wonder if Dark Force will do 4k titles from only original camera negatives and won't consider other secondary source materials for 4k UHDs.

No worries DaveyBoy we will not be upscaling anything and all of the Dark Force 4K releases will be of the highest quality created from original negatives. Remember before we became a label we were making movies like CHAOS so brutally realistic many believed it was real, and without the use of any CGI. Figuring out this process was not difficult for us...

Even the new feature from the Code Red/Kino release?

"Chaos" might get a possible 4k UHD treatment in the future?

Any chance we might get Waterpower 4K in the near future?

Jesus can you imagine CHAOS and WATERPOWER...that would be 2 extremely nasty movies to behold with the clarity of a 4K UHD release!

Man, everyone has rerelease fever, and et tu Dark Force. I sure am glad there was no subscription to waste on these.

[xXx$uicide_Ma$terxXx]

I mean I guess I'll buy Final Exam again. It was ok I guess lol.

[moviegeek1992]

Scream is meant to be the first Dark Force 4K title but The Dead Pit is numbered as 1 so I’m assuming Scream is in fact the second?
