Turbine (Germany) is releasing a cheaper version of their excellent 4K edition of The Frighteners.

The set now contains two 4K discs (theatrical and director’s cut), and includes a single Blu-ray of extras, which includes their new 95-minute documentary and the exceptional 4½ hour documentary from the original laserdisc and Blu-rays. (Highly recommended.)

If you’re wondering what the full fat and more expensive edition included, there were three more Blu-rays. One each for the theatrical and director’s cut, and a third containing an open matte edition of the director’s cut as well. There were also posters, cards, 200-page booklet and several other physical goodies in the package.

It’s priced at €40 which including shipping is about £50 for me. Yikes.

Apparently, Turbine has a worldwide exclusivity deal with Universal for the 4K transfer. Arrow Video was rumoured to be releasing their own 4K release elsewhere, but they would have to source their own 4K print now or wait until Dec 2026 to use Turbine’s transfer.

Looks like I’m waiting a couple of years. 😄
