Barry 'Rain Man' Levinson makes a surprise foray into the world of low-budget eco horror with this found-footage flick. Smart and gruesome, with a real message to impart, The Bay is definitely worth a watch. And yet, outside of a couple of clever conceits (and cost-saving implications), it's hard to see just how much was really gained from tackling the material this way, rather than in a more straightforward manner.

Sex and violence make arresting bedfellows in Kaneto Shindo's 1964 period horror. Every bit as beautiful as it is chilling, Onibaba's magnificent black-and-white photography certainly holds up well in high-definition. Eureka's AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode is easily the best it has delivered to date for an Asian film, courtesy of its immaculate detailing and near perfect contrast. LPCM dual-mono audio exhibits some background hiss, though. Extras may appear fairly slight (just a filmmaker's commentary, video intro from Alex Cox, on-set footage, trailer and 36-page booklet) but they complement the film extremely well.

What is it going to take to convince Joel and Ethan Coen to stop messing around with remakes of classic British crime capers? While they didn't actually direct Gambit (unlike 2004's The Ladykillers), they're still responsible for the laugh-free script that forms the backbone to this Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz 'comedy'. Clearly realising that the film was a dud, the distributor hasn't bothered with any extras beyond a promo featurette and trailer. Still, at least the detail-rich AVC 2.40:1 1080p visuals show that no corners were cut when it came to presenting the film in HD.

Steven Spielberg’s inspirational Holocaust classic Schindler’s List makes a visually impressive high-definition debut with this 20th Anniversary release.
