First off, the 4K visuals are *stunning*—Pennywise’s creepy grin in HDR? Chillingly crisp. The sound design had my home theater shaking during the sewer scenes. Major upgrade from streaming.

BUT—huge caveat—the ‘Region Free’ label is misleading. My US Blu-ray player spat it out like cursed popcorn. Had to dig out an old multi-region player (thanks, college eBay phase). Frustrating for a casual buyer.

Love the UK edition’s Spanish audio (confirmed!), but some reviews falsely claim Castellano support. Double-check those subtitles if that’s your jam.

As a horror fan? 10/10. The new films nail King’s vibe. As a physical media purchase? 6/10. Gorgeous transfer, but the region lock roulette isn’t fun. Pro tip: Grab a Region B player if you’re serious about imports.
