options. I experienced none of the "mushiness" Marty described with regard to the Sony disc's audio presentation, and James Newton Howard's global collection of languages offered in that department. Now, let's just get the bad news out of the way first and state that Arrow Video's new transfer doesn't equate to visual bliss; it's certainly not one of Sony's better efforts, but it's still a

Having not seen Flatliners in many years, I was curious as to just what my reaction to it was going to be. It was on frequent rotation when it first hit home video as seemingly everybody I knew was renting it and watching it, but now years later, one can appreciate it more for its intellectual qualities and visuals, as opposed to just being starry-eyed over its cast. Arrow Video’s 4K UHD presentation is particularly stunning with a nice bevy of bonus materials to go with it, although it’s a shame that Joel Schumacher is no longer with us to comment on it personally. In any case, fans of the film will be pleased, and for them, this is highly recommended. It’s a fascinating idea, both in delivery and possibilities. In Flatliners world, those who defy death are punished. These aren’t people who recovered from an accident, rather those who choose to kill themselves, their brazen ego enough to sustain them afterward. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look?

Joel Schumacher’s Flatliners, which never quite hits the highs of films like The Lost Boys and Falling Down but is mercifully better than Batman & Robin, arrives on 4K Ultra HD courtesy of Arrow Video. The film was restored, and Arrow commissioned a nice batch of bonus features, along with a booklet that sports two essays. If you’re a fan, this is highly recommended.

Dialogue is rendered cleanly and clearly throughout. As jokingly referred to above, this release does not offer optional French, a deeply entertaining thrill ride that still offers up a satisfying slice of darkness from the very best that big budget Hollywood had to offer all those years ago Supplements are fine for what they are but it’s the incredible presentation that make this one a must for fans.

WithRestoration - a new video interview with production designer Eugenio Zanetti and art director Larry Lundy (10 mins) When you’ve been in this line of “work” as long as I have, certain trends start to develop. One of those trends involves a rather high-profile title moving from various studios. Such is the case with Flatliners which started out its life (pardon the pun) at Columbia/Tri-Star, then moved over to Mill Creek and now finds itself in the capable hands of Arrow. This is a good thing. Arrow consistently puts out high-quality product and gives most of their releases new transfers. And, thankfully, this TLC by Arrow has resulted in a much nicer and overall more pleasing image. Detail has been cleaned up, colors seem to have a bit more pop and the dark levels (lest we forget, this is a pretty dark film) seem a lot better balanced. The HDR does help with this as well, giving this picture an advantage over its Blu-ray counterpart.
