Mute Witness for me! Curious to see what extras/transfer that Madman will be about. Vinegar Syndrome out that out on 4K a couple of years ago. On the one hand, I think all of those releases will have a Fidelity in Motion (David M.) encode.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I’ve always found it odd that no boutique company even seemed to think about MUTE WITNESS all these years. It’s a fantastic suspense movie. I remember it getting a modest theatrical release back in the day, then VHS, then the barebones DVD came out 20 years ago, and nothing since. Nice to see they’ve loaded it up a bit:
- 4K restoration approved by director Anthony Waller
- High Definition (1080p) Blu-rayTM presentation
- Restored original lossless stereo soundtrack
- Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
- Brand new audio commentary by writer/director Anthony Waller
- Brand new audio commentary with production designer Matthias Kammermeier and composer Wilbert Hirsch, moderated by critic Lee Gambin
- The Silent Death, brand new visual essay by author and critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, examining Mute Witness and its relationship with snuff films
- The Wizard Behind the Curtain, brand new visual essay by author and critic Chris Alexander, exploring the phenomenon of the film-within-a-film
- Original “Snuff Movie” presentation, produced to generate interest from investors and distributors, featuring interviews with Anthony Waller and members of the creative team
- Original location scouting footage
- Original footage with Alec Guinness, filmed a decade prior to the rest of Mute Witness
- Teaser trailer
