    Yes, the Evil Dead 4K is not widescreen, but instead it has its original aspect ratio of 1.33.

    Is it a problem? Absolutely not. You’ll get used to the aspect ratio without an issue.

    To make the 4K version of the movie, the negatives were scanned in full native 4K with both Dolby Vision and HDR 10. But due to technological constraints, the movie can not be scaled to widescreen.
