Blu-ray

Expanded from a short film (also included on this Blu-ray), The Pact delivers a wonderfully spooky opening act before quickly descending into a more mundane plot that wouldn't have looked out of place in an episode of The X Files. The Blu-ray itself scores highly for its impressively sharp and detailed AVC 1.85:1 1080p visuals, but the DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix is so low-key that it proves no more expansive than the LPCM 2.0 track also included on the disc. As well as the original short mentioned above, the disc also includes three short featurettes about the cast, director and location.

Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller star as a trio of high school misfits who… Zzzz… Oh, sorry, I must have nodded off there. It's not that The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a bad film per se. But, while it is competently acted and directed, there's no denying that it feels almost identical to the numerous other Hollywood coming-of-age dramas that you'll have seen a hundred times before. The BD's AVC 1.78:1 1080p encode boasts a surprisingly heavy (if authentic) layer of grain, while the DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix is mainly given over to dialogue and '80s pop songs. Modest extras include a pair of chat-tracks.

Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper star in this ambitious and carefully observed crime drama. While it touches on traditional genre tropes such as bank robberies, corrupt cops and internal affairs investigations, it's mainly concerned with the theme of fatherhood. The AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode opts for a highly stylised aesthetic that mixes heavy grain with bold washes of colour, while the accompanying DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix adds plenty of ambience. A commentary and four extended/deleted scenes are among the disc's modest extras.

This generically-titled shocker claims to be 'Based on a true story'. But while one of the bonus features makes it clear that the pre-credit sequence has its basis in a supposedly real event, the rest of The Possession is so blatantly derivative of William Friedkin's 1973 horror classic that it might as well come with a label that reads 'Based on The Exorcist'. On a more positive note, the sheer quality of The Possession's AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode and DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix ensure that it won't disgrace your home cinema should you choose to give this Blu-ray a spin.

This throwback horror stars Jared Harris as a college professor who gathers together a trio of students to conduct an ethically dubious study of a young woman (Olivia Cooke) who is seemingly plagued by supernatural phenomena. He intends to prove that her problems are caused by negative energy, rather than supernatural hocus-pocus; energy that can be drawn out and destroyed. And we can all guess how that is going to pan out…

How do you follow up the most talked-about action flick of the past decade? For Welsh writer-director Gareth Evans the answer was simple – you dust off an old script you'd written several years ago about an undercover cop and rework it as a continuation in the adventures of rookie officer Rama (Iko Uwais).

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is undoubtedly the definitive cult movie. Now 35 years old, this film adaptation of Richard O’Brien’s stage musical is more popular than ever, continuing to do big business with its loyal fanbase as it plays at midnight screenings across the US and UK. It probably doesn’t hurt that it’s also a marvellously madcap piece of cinema, packed with outrageous performances, big laughs and catchy songs that stick in your head forever.
