ROUND UP

ega’s spikey speedster returns in (out now, 4K/Blu-ray/DVD/download). This time Jim Carrey’s Dr Robotnik has teamed-up with Knuckles (Idris Elba), a red echidna with fists (15 August, Blu-ray/DVD), the work of Keith Thomas, director of excellent Jewish-themed horror . We said: “Finds nothing new to do, besides throw in a load of dodgy CG flames… Ryan Kiera Armstrong brings a subtle edge to her work, but around her it’s clichés all the way.” Extras include an alternate ending, deleted scenes and gag reel. Gloomy Serbian horror (out now, DVD) centres on a widowed professor researching a metaphysical theory on an island. Shot using a muted grey-brown palette and stuffed with symbolism, it has some striking imagery, like a man in a mask made of branches. Admirers of Andrei Tarkovsky may have the necessary patience, but it’ll prove too cryptic for the average viewer. Finally, the latest TV releases include (out now, Blu-ray/DVD), SEASON SIX (5 September, Blu-ray/DVD) and SEASON ONE (out now, Blu-ray/DVD).
