Same with Silent Hill, heard so much about it especially Silent Hill 2 but never played it.
I seen the first Silent Hill movie though, but everyone says the games are better especially Silent Hill 1 and 2

Oh absolutely. So the first Silent Hill movie is a decent horror movie, but it takes quite a bit of liberties (as is with most video game to film adaptations). I would definitely recommend this film. It is a very ethereal, haunting, but beautiful movie. It's become one of those movies, for personal reasons, I can't watch it often. But I'm very excited to see this movie in 4K.

Personally disagree here. I'd rather they give it the time it needs to develop the best possible presentation of the film than put out something that isn't ready.

Movie wasn't terrible, it just wasn't a faithful adaptation of the game.

Part of the reason it never got a sequel.

And yes, the games are better.

Agree completely. It's not like any of the studios are on some kind of a time crunch to get these out so they have to do some kind of hatchet job so the quality (on either the film, the special features, or even the steelbon itself) have to suffer.

I'm sure someone will think: "But what about missing the anniversary/special date/holiday release/(whatever deadline goes here)?"

I'll respond with: If you knew there was an important deadline for a project (work, personal, or a Blues Brothers mission from God) and you had years of advance warning and still chose to not put the requisite effort into making it happen (or happen with coming off like you threw it together the night before) that would 100% be on you.

I don't think a delay in the pre-order has anything to do with mastering, but probably production plant delays for the actual steelbook and discs. Lionsgate went from just a few select titles a month to ramping up more and more releases since then.

Being a manager at a production plant, I get tons of deadlines from a single customer for multiple jobs, and when it becomes too much for the amount of machines and operators that we have, it becomes "which job do you want first, and what can wait for later?"

While its not horror, and its a low budget indie film, check out Clean, Shaven (1993). Its often cited as the most realistic depiction of schizophrenia on film.

I could be wrong about this but I believe I saw something from Cliff at Lionsgate where he said that they had recently come into possession of something new for this title, and while he didn't say it outright, that could explain the reasoning for why it's releasing later than had been anticipated.

That must mean getting additional features then. The SC set has a new feature (but drops all the legacy features), so maybe they are in the process of licensing the new feature(s) to include on disc.
