Plaion Pictures Germany released Hight Tension (2003) last year on 4K coming with HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
Second Sight Films UK just released their 4K edition coming with a NEW HDR10+ transfer which was exclusively approved by director Alexandre Aja.

I have both of the releases in my collection and was curious, which transfer looks better.
Don´t get me wrong, Plaion Pictures Germany did an amazing job.

Nonetheless the new transfer Second Sight Films UK provided looks more natural to me.
In direct comparison, the Plaion Pictures transfer comes with too much blue which makes the picture look "too artificial" in some sections.

It´s all a question of personal taste and definitely also depends on your home cinema set up.

What´s more, the NEW interview with Alexandre Aja (about 38 minutes long) is absolutely worth the watch. It was exclusively recorded for this Second Sight Films release.
