Samuel LoveThis October, Paramount are rereleasing some of their most-loved titles in Limited Edition 4K UHD Blu-ray Steelbooks – and collectors will be very happy. First up, cult classic 80s Stephen King adaptation Pet Sematary is a must for fans of the beloved horror writer – you’ll never look at a cat the same way again. Next up is Val Kilmer in action-thriller The Saint, making its 4K UHD debut with a dazzling transfer that honours one of the late star’s most-loved leading roles. And if you’re more into sci-fi, you can either choose to revisit the eight big-screen Star Trek adventure in First Contact, or journey into the Shimmer once more with Alex Garland’s Annihilation. All Steelbooks boast beautiful artwork and generous offerings of special features. It’s a great time to be a collector – whatever your genre of choice, there will be something for you in this slate.
PET SEMATARY
The terrifying tale by Stephen King is also a beloved adaptation of the best-selling author’s work. Remastered in 4K, Pet Sematary follows the tragic story of the Creed family. After their cat is accidentally killed, a friendly neighbor advises its burial in a mysterious nearby cemetery. When the cat comes back, it’s only the beginning of an unthinkable evil leading to hell and back. Sometimes, so it seems, dead is better.

THE SAINT
Want someone to infiltrate a top-secret organisation or steal a scientific formula that could change the world? For the right price, The Saint is your man. Val Kilmer plays suave espionage hero Simon Templar – aka The Saint – and Elisabeth Shue co-stars in this atmospheric mix of bold adventure and grand romance. An array of sophisticated gadgetry is at Templar’s command as he plunges into a cloak-and-dagger netherworld of move and countermove. Cool, too, is Templar’s knack for coming up with the right disguise at the right time. Now you see him. Now you don’t…or do you? Each close-call escape is a breathless miracle – and no one knows miracles better than a saint.
