Severin Films brings the 1982 cult horror classic “Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker” (also known as “Night Warning”) to stunning 4K Ultra HD on May 28, 2024. This release features a new HEVC/H.265 encoded 2160p transfer with HDR10+ and DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono, providing fans with a high-quality viewing experience.
Presented in native 4K resolution, this release boasts an impressive upgrade from its original format. The film’s 1.85:1 aspect ratio is preserved, offering vivid colors and deep contrasts. The grain structure remains intact, enhancing the gritty, vintage aesthetic while showcasing the vibrant palette and detailed textures. Fans will appreciate the exceptional clarity, particularly in the film’s more shadowy scenes.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track delivers clear dialogue and sound effects, though it can sound slightly boxy at times. Bruce Langhorne’s folk-inspired score complements the film’s eerie atmosphere. While dynamic range is somewhat limited, the audio quality is suitable for this type of genre film. Optional English SDH subtitles are available.
This 4K UHD release includes an extensive selection of bonus content on the Blu-ray availbale here for rent:
– Audio Commentary with star Jimmy McNichol
– Audio Commentary with co-writer/producer Steve Breimer and co-writer Alan Jan Glueckman, moderated by Nathaniel Thompson
– Audio Commentary with co-producer and unit production manager Eugene Mazzola
– “Extreme Prejudice” interview with Bo Svenson (HD; 9:49)
– “Point and Shoot” interview with director of photography Robbie Greenberg (HD; 15:04)
– “Family Dynamics” interview with editor Ted Nicolaou (HD; 16:51)
– Additional cast and crew interviews (Jimmy McNichol, Susan Tyrrell, Steve Eastin, Allan A. Apone, Steve Breimer)
– Trailer and TV Spot (HD; 1:29)
Directed by William Asher, known for his work on “Bewitched,” this film offers a bizarrely entertaining viewing experience. Susan Tyrrell’s performance as the deranged Aunt Cheryl is unforgettable, adding a layer of dark humor and psychological complexity. The 4K transfer by Severin Films elevates the film’s visual and auditory presentation, making it a must-have for horror enthusiasts and collectors of cult cinema. Highly recommended for its technical merits, comprehensive special features, and the sheer eccentricity of its cast and story.
