Army of Darkness (Screwhead Edition) [Blu-ray]

Updated: I exchanged my Panasonic DP-UB420P-K and got a Panasonic DP-UB154P-K. That player plays the disc perfectly. The movie looks great in 4K. I'd highly recommend it.The 4K UHD disc looks great on my LG 4K UHD player, but won't work at all on my Panasonic DP-UB420P-K 4K UHD Blu-Ray player. The regular Blu-Ray disc works in the Panasonic, but not the 4K UHD. Other 4K UHD Blu-Rays work in the Panasonic, buit not this one. Would have been 5 stars if I could have gotten it to work on the Panbasonic. I wish LG still made 4K UHD Blu-Ray players. One of my favorite movies of all time, so I'm pretty disappointed it doesn't work in the Panasonic player since that's hooked to my biggest/newest TV. I had heard the Panasonic was one of the best 4K UHD players, so I'm doubly disappointed the disc doesn't work in it.

Great cult movie starring Bruce Campbell. My sons and I have watched this movie together many times over the years and always thoroughly enjoyed it. Best of the Evil Dead series, by far.
