First off, let's talk about the elephant in the room: region locks. I was super excited to dive into this 4K version of IT, but the digital copy was a no-go for me in the US. Major bummer, especially since the combo pack was partly for the convenience of having a digital version. The listing really needs to shout 'UK ONLY' louder.
On the bright side, the 4K disc itself? Stunning. The dark scenes are crisp, and Pennywise's creepy antics pop in a way that made me jump even though I’ve seen this movie before. The audio is immersive—headphones on, lights off, and I was fully in Derry.
The packaging is sleek, all black with subtle details that stand out on my shelf. But the blue disc design? Missed opportunity. Red or black would’ve been way more fitting for a horror flick like this.
As for the movie, it’s a solid remake. The kids’ chemistry is fantastic, and Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise is next-level unsettling. The friendship themes hit hard—wish I’d had a Losers’ Club growing up. That said, the lack of the Ritual of Chud from the book stung a bit.
Final verdict? If you’re in the UK or have a region-free player, it’s a must-buy for the 4K quality alone. US buyers, though? Proceed with caution—or just stream it.
