    I don't have the Carrie Blu-ray so that 4k is a possibility, Murphy's war pretty sure I have the indicator Blu-ray already but Conan not being a UK release is a blatant gobbing in my face!

    Hey Graham, after our glowing chats about how Arrow have been recapturing the essence of their glory days it’s a little surprising to see such slim pickings this month?!? The UK only get a token lazy upgrade release. Wow.
    Carrie is a great film but I’ve probably watched it enough times in my life to not be excited to watch it on UHD.
    Both Conan films definitely would benefit from the upgrade for their cinematic visuals and soundtrack. Straight onto my upcoming import order. I enjoy both movies however Milius’s filmmaking just has something extra, totally admire his bold attempt to elevate a pulpy genre movie to the realms of operatic epic fantasy.
    I’m a big fan of Murphy’s Law too. You mentioned that one of the extras included an interview from focus puller Robin Vidgeon. Robin is a legend in the UK film/camera industry. I was lucky to have him as one of my mentors & he went on to be the cinematographer for Hellraiser & Hellbound. He has some amazing stories about his life in the industry.
    A bit of a limp announcement

      @@manvfilm I know, I shouldn’t be so critical. There has been such great stuff recently and my Shocktober bits came today along with my 4K House by the Cemetery. Consistently great monthly announcements, of course, are almost impossible to sustain. Maybe if the one release was a bit more ambitious I wouldn’t be disappointed.
      Honestly, I’m just miffed that I’ll be spending more on shipping for imports😆

    I also have the Indicator version of Murphy's War and already have the Carrie Arrow set on blu ray. I may upgrade Carrie to 4k at some point but I'm not in a rush.
    However I love Robert E Howard and have all his collected works (as in physical hardback books!) and I particularly love his Conan stuff and therefore adore the Arnie movies, especially the first one. And I think Basil Poledouris's Conan score is one of the best film scores ever created IMHO! I'll 100 per cent be grabbing these as soon as finances allow. I'm not sure if I will grab the combined 4k set or get both films separately in 4k. Don't think the combined version has anything specifically extra that the separate editions don't and part of me likes the idea of the 2 separate sets/cover art on the shelf. Ah... 1st world problems eh? 😋

    I don't have the blu-ray of Carrie, so that's an instant purchase for me. Disappointing that Conan is US only (whether that means a UK 4K release is forthcoming who can know), but I'm pleased the two films are coming out as seperate options alongside the collection as it means I can avoid 'Conan The Destroyer'. It's an OK film to spend an idle couple of hours but the comedy sidekick just irritates the heck out of me.

    I am excited to upgrade my DVD Conan collection to the 4K, so that is excellent news! I am especially excited to hear Basil Poledouris' epic score in Atmos sound. I just need to decide between the set or the individual releases, but I think I like the individual release artwork better, so I will keep an eye on pricing. I still need to check out Murphy's War, but it looks really interesting, for sure. I've seen Carrie a couple of times, and I've also read the novel, but that is enough for me. It's not a favorite of mine. I don't really like the crazy Christian trope, and it goes full on with that. Also, for me it's really a 3-star movie with a 5-star scene (the prom scene, to be specific). I prefer many other King books and adaptations, as well as other De Palma films. However, for those who dig it, I'm sure it will be a nice release.

      I need to get back to The Dark Tower, as I have read the first three, and they were indeed fantastic. I started reading King in high school and read quite a bit of his work up until about a decade ago. The most recent I read was Doctor Sleep, which I did quite like, but I just haven't kept up since then. I have read about 3/4 of his books from his first forty years. The Stand is a must-read if you enjoy his work, and I also especially liked Salem's Lot, The Shining, The Talisman, It, and Lisey's Story, among many others. The more that you read, it's also quite interesting to notice all the connections he makes between many of his works.@@manvfilm

    • @manvfilm

    Too late with the Carrie 4k, I've already imported it months ago. No doubt they'll have some nice packaging but I'm not rebuying it just for that, it's likely the same restoration as the Scream Factory edition anyway & even if it's not, I doubt it could improve on it any.
