The Hitcher 4K Review... BEST BLU RAY release of the year???
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
In this video I'll be doing a deep-dive early review of @secondsightfilmsUK upcoming physical media release... Robert Harmon's 'The Hitcher' on 4K Blu Ray.

All i'll say is, unlike the movie's 'John Ryder', this one is defini...

    I am in my sixties, so I first saw many of my favourite films on a 4:3 standard definition television, in black and white. If I were to announce that that is how I would prefer to view these films today, I think you would quite rightly consider me daft. I love seeing these films in the theatre (when it's possible) with modern digital projections. Or on my 4K television and surround-sound system. Believing that removing all the grain from a film is some kind of sacrilege is just idiotic to me. I believe that most directors and cinematographers, if they had had the technology when they were making their movies, would have removed as much grain as possible from the image. They would have considered it an improvement. Just as I'm sure they would have liked to remove the hiss and pops from the optical soundtracks of the day. I don't believe these technological limitations were ever considered positive assets by the vast majority of filmmakers. If you have some nostalgic fondness for seeing film grain or a piece of dust flit around the image because that's how you originally saw it, I can't argue with you. That's your subjective preference. But don't blame a filmmaker for wanting the picture to come as close to witnessing the events first hand, with your own eyes and ears, as possible. I believe the idea, for most directors, is to draw the audience into the frame. To make the technology disappear and for you to become lost in the story and characters--in short, to forget you're watching a movie at all. Film grain is not helping with that aim.

    • @ElectricGeek
      @ElectricGeek 14 днів тому

      My store to be fair has recently expanded all it’s blu-ray sections. The 4k & boutique stuff especially. When i asked in store it was in direct response to sales being up. If they ditched all the pop culture swag they’d likely go down again. After all that’s the old business model which repeatedly failed. This business model seems to be working and it gets young people in who then hopefully might also get interested in physical media so i think it makes sense and is necessary for them.

      I suppose with lower budget, indie entries, especially in the Horror genre, people have to shout a bit louder and over sell it to get the word out which might result in people like yourself feeing a bit underwhelmed. I didn’t expect too much from it but really appreciated that it tried to be a bit different in its storytelling and enjoyed its period setting.

    I remember the days I used to go to HMV and sunrise records. Buying CDs, DVD, Blu Ray. I miss the excitement, of rushing home. And opening it, tearing of the plastic, watching my movies, or listening to my music. I made the mistake of getting rid of most of my CDs, dvd, blu ray collection, about 300, for steaming. Now I have been trying to restart my collection. Going to record stores, thrift stores. Since we no longer have, HMV, Sunrise records. And Best Buy, stop selling DVD, blu ray, cd.

    Unfortunately I missed a 4k restored screening of the Hitcher at Frightfest in august😢. I did catch the first 15min of "A nightmare on elm street" restored edition and it was graintastic and colour was popping🎉. I think its time for me to get a 4k player now😂. And a top tip for your screen grabs would be to get a 4k player for your computer (internal sata or external Usb3) that way you could play it full screen then just press 'print screen' (windows) then in any free paint or picture editing software press CTRL+V (paste)... Then just save that as a jpeg. A good free picture editing software is 'irfanView', I've been using this for over 10 years, it does ALOT! I remember watching the Hitcher lots on VHS 4x3 when my grandfather recorded it on BBC2 late one night, the ambience just pulled my in...i think it was on film 4 early this year and I saw it in HD 16x9 for the first time... So yes I'll deffinatly get that on 4k disc😎

    5:55 - Cameron's transfers WERE restored meticulously and a VERY long time was taken to remaster them.... just wasn't what u peeps expected, but that doesn't mean no effort was made

    • @ElectricGeek

      Yeah fair one, if u’ve watched my review of Aliens i actually like it but it’s very much a revision as opposed to a restoration / remaster. Maybe a bit careless with my wording in the video but all i meant was the hitcher looks very authentic to its source / filming process. aliens n’ true lies look planets away from theirs. The hitcher was being worked on and updated publicly on for about 2 years, Cameron’s 3 recent transfers were more secretive and appeared pretty much all at same time with varying results / success. I don’t doubt tho that the individuals that worked on them did their best. Thanks for your comment my friend 🤝

    Watching The Hitcher right now Andy mate . The boxset looks amazing, and was very well protected in the massive box it came in from Second Sight. Delighted with the picture quality. I used to have the 2 disc DVD and it looked great back then. Look forward to your stream with the artist that created the set.

I ordered from second sight too and it’s a huge box like u say lol The stream will be in a week or two mate. Looking forward to it also. He’s a busy man at the moment so just trying to nail down a definite date. Be good to hopefully see u in the comments as always mate when it does happen 👌😃 Andy ⚡️

    Amazing movie but the 4k transfer was a huge let down, I didn’t see any good comparisons online so decided to pull the trigger and honesty it's not a huge improvement. The set is lovely, but I would hold off for a sale for this one. You know it's bad when 20 minutes in you convince yourself you've stuck the blu ray on by mistake. One of my all time favorite films just a shame the 4k is pretty soft and only seems like a slightly improved blu ray rather than the 4k I was expecting after watching SS's green room recently.

    • @ElectricGeek
      @ElectricGeek Місяць тому

      I’ve never seen green room, need to check it out. Sorry u didn’t enjoy it mate. Like i say in the video, it’s no demo disc by any means. But for something shot on film 20 years ago, i thought it looked great. More the hdr than resolution. As u know it’s not a flashy film. It’s got a fairly monochromatic colour palette but the highlights, contrast n’ shadow detail help considering it’s shot mostly at night. My recommendation was the blu ray but if ur a big fan and/ or enjoy HDR especially, then for a couple of extra quid the 4k is worth it IMO. I personally don’t like paying £24.99 for any release. I’m always looking for a sale, but that’s because i’m a tight scotsman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😂

    I always thought it was criminal that Rutger Hauer was never at least nominated if not won all the best actor awards that year for The Hitcher. Fun fact: in the Netherlands he was voted the greatest Dutch actor of the 20th Century

    • @ElectricGeek
      @ElectricGeek Місяць тому

      I’m not surprised the Netherlands acknowledged him like that. He was a great actor. Although his villainous roles are probably his most famous / iconic, he’s great as a protagonist too. Great range. A unique charm and watchability. Thanks for your comment mate 👌😃

    Do you not think it looks slightly cyan colour wise? It's a good picture but it is there. I notice this issue with a lot of 4Ks

      @ElectricGeek Місяць тому

      I can’t say this is something i’ve really noticed? Tho i don’t have any recall really of what it would have looked like on dvd or broadcast tv. Can u give some other examples mate?

      @@ElectricGeek Some examples, Basic Instinct, T2, Red Sonja,Cliff-hanger, New York Ripper, House By The Cemetery, etc. The cyan look was never there before on previous releases.

      Didn’t know that mate, would explain why it’s such a great performance. The new interview with Robert Harmon is really good and he shares some cool anecdotes about working with Hauer. I’m looking forward to watching the retrospective piece on Hauer also. Cheers man 😃

    Really looking forward tonight getting this Second Sight box set, as you state it has been a long wait for this release. I am a sucker for any film with Rutger Hauler in it. I am a big fan of second sight and have many of their discs, they have been going for many years. Thank you for your review - I have subscribed.😊😊

    • @ElectricGeek
      @ElectricGeek Місяць тому

      Rutger 'Hauler' 😂Not sure if you meant that but i like it! 👍I like Rutger also, he's got such great on screen presence and he doesn't really have an equal in my opinion . I need to checkout his early dutch work admittedly but I enjoy of course Bladerunner, Wanted: Dead or Alive and Blind Fury. Hobo with a shotgun is worth a look too if you like gory, comedy horror! lol Second sight are a great label and I've got a decent relationship with them now so there will be lots more reviews like this to come from them. I've just received a preview copy of Late Night with the Devil so that will feature in a video at some point. Thanks for your comment and mate and of course for subscribing, it means a lot. Welcome aboard! 😃 Andy⚡

    Another great in-depth and honest review, Andy. Being an old fart, I was one of the few who saw this on it's original cinema release. I think I went with my Dad! Because I loved it when it was less well-known, it's always felt like I was in a club with one member. I know it's gained traction over the years, but it's great to see that it's getting this fabulous release. Cheers Andy.
