Grainy home-movie footage shows four people standing with hoods over their heads and nooses around their necks. As a branch on the tree they are standing below gives way, all four are hoisted up into the air, their bodies kicking out in vain.

The IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade joins Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill and Vince Vaughn for this big budget sci-fi comedy. Unfortunately, it would appear that the filmmakers spent the entire $68m budget on visual effects and forgot to pay anybody to write jokes – a solution they try (and fail) to cover up with a witless parade of swearing. Still, as you'd expect from such a costly Hollywood failure, The Watch does at least look and sound rather neat in high-definition. The Blu-ray also boasts a reasonable  batch of extras including a 12-minute Making of… and a spoof interview with an alien actor.

While it's hardly a classic political satire, there are a some belly laughs to be found in this comedy outing for Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. The two funnymen play warring Congressional candidates who end up playing every dirty trick in the book after a 'Civility Brunch' for the duo turns into something much more hostile. Warner's Blu-ray includes 85-minute and 96-min 'extended' cuts of the film, both of which look gorgeous thanks to the branching AVC 1.78:1 1080p encode. Extras are limited to nine deleted scenes, a gag reel and a collection of alternate lines.

A poster boy for the video nasties furore in the UK, Lucio Fulci's 1979 zombie film may be available uncut on these shores these days, but that doesn't mean that it no longer packs a punch. Whether it's the memorable sight of a zombie wrestling a shark or the unforgettable close-up of an eyeball being speared by a wooden splinter, Zombie Flesh-Eaters is a horror triumph that always delivers the goods.

Only Paul W.S Anderson could ever dream of giving us a car chase through the streets of Moscow that features zombies on motorbikes firing machine guns. But that's just one of the many brilliantly daft action treats he has in store in this fifth outing in the popular videogame spin-off.
