Needful Things
As the film opens the picture quality is, in a word, awful. However, one minute in, everything changes and the 4K native (2160p) resolution kicks in putting everything in sharp focus with incredible detail.

Renfield
The problem with Renfield is that it is too serious to be campy, yet too campy to be a drama.
