ADDITION: 88 Films (UK) - Region 'B' - Blu-ray November 20': The new 88 Films Blu-ray of 10 to Midnight is dual-layered with a max'ed out high bitrate. I suspect that it is similar to the US Shout! Factory appearance (that is also described as a "New 4K Transfer").

NOTE:  I do not own the Shout! Factory Blu-ray - nor do they value our work (in its 20th year) enough to send us screeners... and they never have. This is despite reviewing their titles for as long as they have been in existence, by personally spending $1000's of dollars annually doing so - and selling in the neighbourhood of 1/4 million dollars of their product throughout the years.

Compared to the 2015 Twilight Time Blu-ray, the 88 Films has a much different color scheme - bolder with warmer flesh tones. The consistent grain textures are far heavier / visible, detail rises, and there is more information in all four sides of the frame. The 88 Films 1080P is a far better representation, imo.  

The audio is a DTS-HD Master 2.0 channel (24-bit.) There are effects typical of the genre - gunfire exporting impressive bass - and a score by Robert O. Ragland (Moon in Scoroio, The Things With Two Heads, Grizzly) adding some 'Cannon Group'-ish mood and sounds very good - consistent and clean. 88 Films offer optional English (SDH) subtitles on their Region 'B' Blu-ray.

The 88 Films Blu-ray offers many of the extras from the Shout! Factory; the same 'new' audio commentary with Charles Bronson expert, Paul Talbot (author of Bronson’s Loose! And Bronson’s Loose Again!) plus the featurettes "Producing Bronson" - a dozen-minute interview with producer Lance Hool, "Remembering Bronson" - a 6-minute interview with actor Robert F. Lyons, "Knife and Death" an interesting interview with actress Jeana Tomasina and "Charlie's Partner" - spending 10-minute with memorable actor Andrew Stevens. "Cop Sleaze" runs 17.5-minutes and has Mike Malloy discussing Sleazy Cops in films referencing titles like The French Connection and the Dirty Harry films. I liked it. There is a stills gallery, radio spots and an original trailer.

Essentially, this is the Shout! Factory Collector's Edition Blu-ray... for the UK (Region 'B'). Probably the same 1080P transfer and 24-bit lossless track - an improvement over the Twilight Time, imo... and most of the same very good extras and excellent commentary.

10 to Midnight is not premium quality but does have a decent edge - not in the form of a revenge flic but as a slasher, murder, mystery ripe with plenty of scantily clad nubile victims. Those expecting a typical Bronson - one man show - may be disappointed - it is closer to a horror-thriller than his usual brand of tough guy popcorner. I don't think its a great film but, if you are in the mood, you might be surprised by its effectiveness.

ADDITION: Twilight Time - Region FREE - Blu-ray September 15': The DVD-R disc is interlaced but seems to match up reasonably well with the 1080P which has more layered colors, superior detail and some consistent grain texture. The still captures don't indicate an overwhelming disparity but it is much more apparent in-motion. The Twilight Time Blu-ray is dual-layered with a very high bitrate.

Twilight Time transfer the audio via a DTS-HD Master 1.0 channel mono track at 1096 kbps and the flatness is apparent. Robert O. Ragland, who did the score, is best known for composing music for cult and B-movies during the sixties, seventies, eighties like The Thing with Two Heads. This background music is fairly unremarkable but there is some tension exported by the score near the end of the film. There are optional English subtitles and the Blu-ray disc is region FREE.

The DVD shares 10 to Midnight with another Bronson film; Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects and there are no supplements beyond that. The Blu-ray, however,  offers an audio commentary with producer Pancho Kohner, casting director John Crowther, and film historian David Del Valle delving deeper into the production than the film may deserve but it did garner some, much needed, appreciation discussing the performers - Bronson, beauty Lisa Eilbacher, and director J. Lee Thompson etc. . Twilight Time also include their usual isolated score track (with some effects) option, as well as an original theatrical trailer, 3 radio spots and the package has some liner notes by Julie Kirgo.
