It's not that don't want to have a cool, beautiful-looking and improved replacement on my shelf; I'm just wary of spending even more for something I already have if it'll only end up being simply an upscaled version of the blu-ray with some HDR effects thrown on.

Edit: I'm not saying I think the 4K release will for-sure have zero improvement, as Crimson Peak has enough creative use of colour and lighting that a 4K transfer of even a 2K+ source will probably reveal some nice detail that was compressed out of the blu-ray. I just don't know if it'll be enough to justify buying the film a second time.
