Nothing has been remastered for this particular collection and the movies will look the same as they do in previous releases. The set is called “ultimate” since it contains all of the Tremors properties (film and TV) for the first time ever. The source elements are the best we have available at this time.

When I queried them on the source elements....

For this particular Tremors collection, we did not recreate the Blu-ray discs. The intent of the collection was simply to compile all the Tremors properties into one set, not to redo everything. This is a very common practice with collections in our industry and something that’s been done by all studios for the last 20+ years. Discs are only updated in rare instances or if there is a new format such as 4K. It’s not to say it could or would never happen but it was out of scope for what this particular project was at this particular time.

I realize, as a fan, it can appear puzzling as to why certain decisions are made. We do our best to provide the best possible product to consumers while balancing profitability.

No upgrades for you, commoner!

A.K.A. Expect our master of the original picture ("picture" is industry speak for "Motion Picture" it's what us in the biz call movies).

Shame as we don't get many 16mm shows brought to Blu-ray.

Even with our tiny consumer brains we can work out it's a cost issue. But that doesn't get solved by simply bundling an existing TV DVD set, or the original films mediocre BD, when a remaster (by Arrow) has been available for 3yrs.
The boxset also coincidentally releases on the same day as Arrow's remaster release of 'Tremors 2'. A nice slap in the face for a licensing partner, that's remastering your own catalogue and paying you to do so...
