Eureka has added a new crown jewel to its acclaimed Masters of Cinema range with this superb Blu-ray debut for Carl Theodore Dreyer's silent masterpiece. Arriving in a deluxe slipcase, accompanied by a mammoth 100-page collection of essays, the disc features a choice of stunning 20fps and 24fps presentations of a new 2K restoration of the original 1928 version of the film (with optional, alternate music scores). Also on offer are a restoration comparison and the re-edited Lo Duca version created in the 1950s (also in 1080p).

There's no two ways about it – 2012 is set to be remembered by fans as the year that cult filmmaker Joss Whedon finally conquered Hollywood. Not only was he responsible for the year's best blockbuster, Avengers Assemble, he also co-wrote and produced this clever, witty and gory deconstruction of the horror genre.

Boasting an armoured build that would do Tony Stark proud, Onkyo’s new TX-NR5010 receiver is a mouth-watering proposition - a 25kg home cinema heavyweight boasting state-of-the art audio/visual processing and unbending muscle.

The YHT-S401 seemingly has a lot going for it, including Yamaha’s rich heritage in soundbars and a comprehensive specification that makes a mockery of the similarly-priced Bose Solo. The YHT-S401 boasts four HDMI sockets, a headphone jack, FM aerial input and a USB input. No simple booster for your TV’s sonics here, we’re talking HD audio decoding for Blu-ray discs and streaming of MP3 and WMA files from USB flash drives, plus iPod and smartphone compatibility. In a perfect world we’d also be talking about Bluetooth and AirPlay, but you don’t need to be the taxman who studies Google’s annual return to know you don’t always get what you want.
