Time to run through recent theatrical releases hitting shiny disc. Set in 45,000 BC, (22 April, Blu-ray), has echoes of , following Stone Age wanderers who discover (out now, Blu-ray/DVD) a young woman inherits a pub with an entity in the basement which can shapeshift into a dead person, allowing the bereaved an audience with a lost loved one. We said: “Too much about the set-up feels arbitrary or unconvincing.” Bonuses: again, nowt. In Blumhouse horror (6 May/22 April, 4K/Blu-ray, DVD) a family move into a home boasting a pool with a dodgy history. We said: “Early on, it follows the predictable jump-scare route, but as the story moves on a few good ideas float to the surface.” Extras? Yes! Director’s commentary, and four featurettes on topics like the underwater sequences and the creatures. The big 4K release is 1986 classic (22 April), one of a series of James Cameron remasters proving to be divisive; you’ll either find it an improvement for the enhanced detail, or a desecration, because of the grain removal. One brand new bonus: “The Inspiration And Design Of ” (31 minutes). The latest TV box set is Season Eight (29 April, Blu-ray/DVD); there’s also a belated Blu-ray release for Season Three (15 April).
