(ROUND UP)

Though it’s set in the 14th century, anime musical (out now, Blu-ray/DVD) features modern rock numbers with electric guitars. It centres on a blind travelling box set, all three films are now out separately. Our pick: 1974’s (out now, Blu-ray). This “The Monkey’s Paw”-esque take on zombies sees a young soldier returning home from Vietnam strangely altered… We said: “Clark’s portrait of a fractured family is affecting, and Richard Backus provides an intense performance as the undead Andy.” Arrow Video’s latest UHD spruce-up is (21 August, 4K Blu-ray), John Hughes’s 1985 tale about two teenage sadsacks who use a computer to rustle up a dream woman (Kelly LeBrock). We said: “Steers away from pure horndog fantasy, telling a sweet tale of high school redemption. But its brash, raucous tone and dream logic storytelling ultimately exhaust you.” Extras-wise it’s the same line-up as the 2019 Blu-ray, complete with an extended version and the TV edit. Finally, this month’s solitary TV box set of note is SEASON THREE (31 July, DVD). Wot, no Blu-ray?
