    An underrated John Carpenter piece.

    While many people associate the name John Carpenter with the likes of Halloween and The Thing, both rightly so, there are a number of other films under his belt worthy of such recognition, Prince Of Darkness notwithstanding. As usual with this company's releases, the transfer of the film is excellent and I doubt it will get any better than this anytime soon, if ever. As such, if you're a John Carpenter fan or simply enjoy horror cinema at large, Prince Of Darkness is a worthy addition to your collection that explores the darker depths of both science and belief.

    Wonderful 4K Upgrade for a John Carpenter Classic!

    This is a wonderful remastered edition of a John Carpenter under appreciated classic. I like that Scream Factory did their own color grade on this opposed to the original StudioCanal UK release. The colors are more natural and a bit subdued. I think it and the new Dolby Atmos soundtrack aid the film immensely. I truly enjoy this erie, creepy film, and more so now in 4K!

    A low budget John Carpenter spook fest. I love the film but the 4k color is a little wonky. However the increased detail in the new 4k scan is an improvement. The enclosed Blu is loaded with bonus features and without the color issues of you want the benefit of the new scan and find the colors on the 4k too jarring.

    I like this movie when it first came out and I definitely recommend buying it on 4K. When the man gets stabbed with the bike you can actually see the blood spray out behind him in this version the original version you couldn't see it it was too dark.

    An underrated John Carpenter classic from 1987. If you're looking at this, then you know it's so. It looks wonderful. I don't love new-fangled audio mixes on older films, but this one is tastefully done. Thankfully, the original mix is still there.

    John Carpenter’s the price of darkness is a quality 4K Blu-ray with good audio and video for a close to 25 years old film it helps if you’re a fan of his work. And if you’re reading this review you most likely are; the story line is a fun and original idea to be sure

    When I heard that this movie was coming out in 4k, I was excited to pick it up when it released. I wasn't able to get it when it first came out, but I'm glad I did pick it up. Seeing this movie in 4k and hearing it on 5.1 speakers is phenomenal.

    The 4K transfer is not as good as They Live but definitely worth the purchase. If you love John Carpenter’s end of the world movies, then this is for you. Plus, this has the alternate opening not available on the DVD version!

    This science meets occult gem is without a doubt John Carpenter's most overlooked film. It's never looked better than this and should please horror fans looking for something off beat and slightly under the radar.

    Like the they live 4k the his has the original art instead of the garbage art on the other scream factory slip releases. Studio canal does have a 4k release of this as well but it’s debatable which is better or by how much. This is a brand that’s easily accessible to most Americans vs the studio canal which is an import.

    One of my favorite John Carpenter films, and in my opinion, the last really decent film he directed. It's creepy, thought provoking, and makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Check it out folks.

    The film has never looked better than this release with enough special features to please any level of fan and well worth the double dipping if you own the previous scream factory release just for the steelbook.

    Saw this originally in the theater upon original release. Thought it was laughably bad then…but because I love bad movies I bought this just to see how it’s aged. It’s cheapness (budget & thrills) have grown on me since. Not as terrible as I remembered it. Crisp image and okay extras.

    4k Glory but only if you have the right player. Panasonic ub420 with lg nano cell. Restoration at its finest. Just enough grain and the colors bring this classic back to life. Kudos
