I was blown away by this release. I never fully enjoy these movies because quality was always weird. But I can finally enjoy them on 4K. They looks probably better now than back in the day. What an awesome time to be alive.
Thanks for your support. Also If they release more of these 4K monster films they are planning on releasing them like the Star Trek 4K releases 4 films at a time in separate boxed sets. Also like I was talking about in this review because of the price they are selling this 4K set at they didn’t think anyone would pay over $500 for a 30 Film 4K boxed set lol!!!! So if these sell well enough we will be most likely be seeing more 4 Film 4K monsters boxed sets.
Please know that Universal Classic Monsters Volume 2 is coming out in November of 2022. It includes: "The Mummy", "Bride of Frankenstein", "Phantom of the Opera" (Claude Raines) and "Creature from the Black Lagoon". Hallelujah!!!
Thanks for your comments of support, I appreciate it. Yah, I think based on how these sell that Universal may decide to release more of these sets with more of these Monster movies restored in 4K. But I agree a lot of the new 4K sets coming out are higher priced then I think they should be, but because of how companies are doing so many limited edition releases these days it just seems that’s how 4K releases are now.
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia agree. I know I am gambling that the set will go on sale. But truly, I only have so much money. They look amazing. You did great for the comparison shots.
I just ordered this set on 4K after watching your review I was very skeptical about buying B&W 4K movies and I can't wait to re watch these after only seeing them on Blu Ray before
Thanks, I was surprised at how much of a change there was between the clarity of these new 4K restorations, they looked great. I appreciate your nice comments.
Your’s is the best review I’ve seen on this 4k release of these movies. I love the still comparisons. I thought the blu ray looked good but, boy these 4k versions are crazy good.
Thanks for your great comments, I appreciate them. I also agree, it’s a big change some of these new 4K UltraHD releases, though not all releases are as a big an upgrade as these were, so that’s why I try to do these 4K vs Blu Ray image comparisons as often as I can. These videos just take me a lot longer to make than most other UA-cam Channel’s because I am not just talking about the item & there is so much more involved in creating these type of videos for everyone to watch. There are tons of other image comparison videos on my UA-cam Channel for you to watch, so make sure you SUBSCRIBED to my UA-cam Channel so you don’t miss out on any of these exclusive videos. Thanks & welcome to the channel I am glad to have you along for this journey through all these great movies & TV series.
Excellent information here. When I bought these on Blu-ray years ago, I thought, "yeah, this is the last time I'll buy these. How much better can they look?" And damn if the answer isn't "a lot better" lol
I thought similarly before I started comparing each film for this review lol!!!! These surprised me how much better the 4K’s looked than the older Blu Ray releases, I wasn’t expecting as much of a substantial change but I am glad they looked so much better. What’s your favorite film from this box set? Also make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my UA-cam Channel so you don’t miss any of these exclusive videos.
I am glad you enjoyed it, I worked hard all through late last night to finish this review. I agree there is something very cool about these old monster movies I was just surprised that they looked so different with these new 4K restorations. We’re you also surprised these movies looked so differently in 4K?
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia not surprised the restored ones look better, but very happy they do. I want to upgrade everything to 4K, but I always have to ask, how many times will I watch this? There is the collecting aspect too, which has me buying more. There's a ton of 4Ks I'd like to rent first. Your channel helps with that. These monster movies are more in the own category. Some movies I know I'm upgrading and will just do it even if I haven't watched my blu ray copy in a while, and other movies I want to watch the blu ray again to see if I "need" the upgrade or not...
@@MyFireVideos I get what you are saying, it’s always a struggle to determine what to buy and what to wait on lol!!! I have found it seems for the most part so far the older films that are restored & remastered in 4K seem to have the most noticeable improvements because of how they were filmed when they scan those in 4K it makes a lot of big changes and differences. As you know I love old movies & TV series so I am always interested in seeing if these new 4K restorations are worth the upgrade & unlike the recent 👎🏻 the Unbreakable 4K, these looked great. I am hoping they will releases more of these in this monsters films series on 4K, but just at a lower price & better cases lol!!!!
Great review. I do wish that they had included The Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein and Creature from the Black Lagoon. It’s probably not worth it to release all 30 something of the other Universal Monster movies in 4K restoration versions.
I agree there are some other Monster Movies I wish were released in 4K but my understanding is they are planning to do more of these 4 film 4K box sets if these initial ones sell well enough. So who knows we might be seeing more of these in 4K in the future. I really enjoy these older films getting these 4K restorations because they do look great and breath new life into films like these, especially because these are almost 100 year old films now lol!!!! What’s your favorite film in this current box set?
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia Thank you for your reply. I agree with you. Frankenstein is the best of these movies. They are all good movies though. Spanish Dracula is more exciting and with better direction and camera work than the English version. But Lugosi is such a great Dracula. He’s much better in the role than the actor in Spanish Dracula. I am a big Lugosi fan. I have watched pretty much all of the classic Universal monster movies over the years. Most of them are quite entertaining. They are good movies but perhaps not great.
@@iakona23 Yah, I feel they have held up good over the years for classic movies that are almost 100 years old, but they aren’t my favorite movies of all time lol!!! I think they are great but not stunningly amazing if that makes sense. Though I do love having these classics in 4K now in my collection lol!!!
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia My suggestion for the next 4-film box set would be 1. Bride of Frankenstein 2. Son of Frankenstein 3. The Mummy 4. Creature From the Black Lagoon.
Very nice review. I really don't like those cardboard sleeves so I grabbed those lovely Zavvi steelbooks. Don't usually like paying a premium on steelbooks but these ones I thought looked really awesome and I was able to ditch that crappy cardboard sleeve storage option. Love when 4k and HDR is done right on older black and white films.... Looks lovely.
Good review - I got UK version of this release which includes just 4K discs. Packaging is different and far more solid. Have numerous versions of universal monsters legacy sets so did not need further Blu-rays.
I get what you are saying, I just didn’t want to hold onto the old Blu Ray sets so I was glad it was included in the USA set at least for that reason. Thanks for your comments & support, I appreciate it.
I picked up the 4k limited edition set with all nine movies because I prefer full sets rather than half so picking this up would be redundant for me but I'm glad there's a cheaper option for people who just want the films. I do have to wonder why The Wolf Man was included in set 1 and not The Mummy since it's not consistent with the other three in terms of release order.
I talked about the individual releases in this review video & considered them but the price for them individually bought each together was wayyy to expensive and it was almost double the cost of this set with them bundles together at almost $100. So to save money because it’s the same discs and content only different cases for the individual releases I suggested buying this bundle set at around $60. The individual releases were way too overpriced.
i know im late to your video but do you think theyll do a legacy collection of each characters movies on 4k like they did bluray ? should i hold out for this or you think this is it??
Have you watched my review video of the new Monsters volume 2 collection? In that new video I talk about how these are going to be annual 4 film 4K boxed set releases from Universal & that it would take them almost another 8 years to release all 30 classic monster movies! So NO I would not wait another 7-8 years to start enjoying these great 4K restorations of these classic monster movies lol!!! 🤣 That’s also if they ever release them all together in a big boxed set after another 8 years go by lol!!! Hopefully this helps you, but definitely watch my new review video of the volume 2 set so you can see the quality of those too! Also make sure to SUBSCRIBE✅ if you haven’t done so already, Thanks 😊
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia i havent watched that one yet im gonna now. i got this box set for $35 on amazon. was happy about that . buying other set today. really want other movies and have never seen sequels to creature from black lagoon or mummy.
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia I’m going to pick up the films after seeing this. Best Buy has the Steelbooks except for The invisible Man. I’m waiting to see if the steels go down in price..if they sell out before I can get them, I’ll def get the set u showed everyone. Btw, I hope u got yourself a replacement
Thanks for this been waiting for someone to do it and wondering if it was worth the upgrade and looking at your review it’s a definite yes keep up the great comparison videos I realise it’s a lot more work for you but it’s appreciated and greetings from the uk :)

@@songsforvampires yah I agree that’s a pretty cool scene. I am hoping they continue to release more of these on 4K now because of how good these look.
I have all of the alex Ross blu ray steelbooks that came out a couple of years and I was debating on picking this up but it's kind of a hard hell at that price point.
I think the price on this set for around $60 is better than the Smallville price considering how much work they put into remastering & restoring these films in 4K. So it comes to roughly $12 a movie if you buy it in this 4K boxed set all together, so for a new 4K restoration movie I think $12 each is a pretty decent deal for all 5 films.
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia oh I agree, price is not bad for me. I'm just adding on the price of the steelbooks in my head but the comparison photos swayed me lol
@@jromins9155 Sweet, I am glad my review helped you. It was interesting how much more detail they were able to pull out of these films in these 4K restorations. Also make sure to SUBSCRIBE if you haven’t done so already!
Good review!! Are you going to be reviewing the Smallville complete series box set coming out in a few weeks? I hate to double dip since I already have season 6-10 on Blu-ray but would like the first 5 on Blu-ray
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed this review, I put extra work & love into this review. So with the Smallville Complete Series Blu Ray set, I have not heard back from WB about any review copies being sent out. Personally, it’s priced wayyy too high ($170) for me to buy right now for a review, I have been having to work 2 full time jobs to afford to keep doing these videos & buying everything for reviews for this channel of stuff that’s not being sent to me by companies for review and that’s on top of doing all these videos. So I am currently working non stop all day everyday to provide all this content & with sets that are that expensive, if they aren’t sent to me for review I am going to have to wait till it’s on a good sale to buy it so I can review it. I really want to be able to review everything but feasibly money wise it’s simply not possible at the moment because each video I make costs me a ton of money & time, also not every company sends me everything for review yet and still over 60% of the stuff I review I have to buy at full price to do reviews on. So it’s a constant back and forth struggle because I am still trying to get my UA-cam Channel to grow big enough that it can support itself and not constantly cost me huge massive amounts of money lol!!!! I do love doing these reviews for all of you though!!!
@@jromins9155 I am planning on getting Smallville but I am planning on waiting for a Sale because they are priced too high still at $170. I feel like it should have been released at $100 price point for the entire series because they didn’t have to restore or remaster anything it was already filmed in HD, so it would be a very easy transfer to Blu Ray.
The 2012 Blu Ray box release was a disaster. They used a glue that was very sensitive to temperature and the sleeves on mine actually melted onto the discs and ruined the whole set.
I can appreciate your disappointment about the packaging, but if they wanted to make it better w/o raising the price past all reason and include the other films you mentioned, how about suggesting that they eliminate the blurays from the set. With the additional digi format included, what is the point of this double dip. Especially since I would bet that most folks already have entered that black hole where these classics are concerned, and the rest just want the best versions currently available. All around tho...great review. subscribed.
Also, I am in in agreement with Richard Stange's comment below, at least as far as what I can perceive watching on my computer, that some black detail was lost in the darkening of the contrast and grey scale of the image. But the jury is still out on that one untill I view them properly. Maybe you could address that?
Review was great! Me? I'm just as interested in the digital copy as I am the movies themselves. I subscribe to Vudu and MoviesAnywhere. My question is... is the digital copy for MoviesAnywhere contain the 4K version? Or is it the regular SD version? That part is important to me.

I honestly like the Blu-ray image better. The pitch black of the 4K loses a lot of detail from the sets. I like seeing the detail from the sets.
Why no Creature ? 😢
I can't handle when they apply DNR to movies give me the grain I'd rather that than them looking like a wax dummy like in the 4K release of T2
I’m sticking with my 30 film collection. That 4K set is a rip off, charging people $70 for 4 movies.
