    The 4K HDR transfer is excellent but we it really shines is the Atmos being so accurate! All the helicopters scenes were so realistic hovering over you. It’s a reference material when showing off your height channels. Slipcover included. My only complaint is that digital copy was not offered.

    A gem of a Sci-Fi action movie. Piper is King with Keith David in this unmasking of Alien proportion conspiracy and control. Looks beautiful in 4K and the commentary with Piper and Carpenter is gold.Highly recommended.

    I thought The Hot Rod did a great job in this movie. The fight sequence between he & Keith David is really a crack up. This is one of those guilty pleasure movies that you don't want to tell people that you love it.Scream/Shout Factory releases are awesome. They have done a great job with releasing quality Blu-rays of classic horror movies, and this one is no exception. I had a crappy DVD version for a long time so upgrading to HD was great. Granted the limited budget & production values, the Blu-ray quality is good. John Carpenter is 1 of my favorite directors, so this is just one of many of his movies that I've recently purchased.

    This was an exceptional movie and it's actually telling us about things that we put blinders on to. This is a classic.

    Wish Roddy would have done more movie stuff. The movie is a classic 80's - 90's alien action flick.

    At this point, what more can be said about "They Live" that hasn't already been said or praised? If you love '80s horror/sci-fi and/or John Carpenter films, then this one is almost assuredly a classic for you and a movie you've seen countless times. You probably even already own Scream Factory's collector's edition Blu-ray.The question is: Is this 4K edition really worth the upgrade?YES! 100% absolutely yes!This will probably be the best this movie will ever look and sound. I know that phrase is probably trite and cliche at this point, but it's also very accurate. I would say this transfer makes the movie look better than 4K transfers from movies that are only 10 years old or less. The level of visible detail is astonishing, and the HDR grading really brings out the bright whites. The Atmos track is very engaging and active (even if, at times, a bit TOO gimmicky), and the bass definitely brings a hefty punch at times.In terms of special features, you're only getting the same ones ported over from the previous Collector's Edition, so no change there. This is purely an A/V upgrade, but it's a worthwhile upgrade nonetheless.
