Best movie deals: From 4K releases to cheap DVDs - 1 March, 2021

Yahoo Entertainment is committed to finding you the best products at the best prices. We may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change.

If, like us, you’re getting a bit bored of what’s on your telly, it may be time to bring out the trusty DVD player.

Physical discs have seen a resurgence recently as families watch their collection of old favourites during lockdown.

Not to mention, buying a DVD can often turn out cheaper in the long run than continually having to rent your favourite film from a streaming service.

So, if like us, you’ve been having a look around for the best discs on sale this week, we’ve rounded-up everything from new 4K releases, to cheap and cheerful buys that can be a form of escapism for an hour of two.

Best new DVD, Blu-ray and 4K releases

Perhaps the best of this week’s new discs is the horror thriller The Owners, a film that may fly under many people’s radars but sees former Doctor Who star Sylvester McCoy in wonderfully unnerving form.

Two of the later Hellraiser sequels get their UK Blu-ray debut too. Neither Hellraiser: Revelations nor Hellraiser: Judgment could be called the peak of the franchise, but there’s fun for completists at least here.

Finally, the 80s cult hit Restless Natives gets a feature-packed Blu-ray release too, as part of Studiocanal’s excellent Vintage Classics label. Although we’re not quite ready for films of the 80s to be called ‘vintage’ just yet…

Buy it: The Owners on DVD | £7.99 on Amazon

Buy it: Hellraiser: Revelations on Blu-ray | £12.99 on Amazon

Buy it: Hellraiser: Judgment on Blu-ray | £12.99 on Amazon

Buy it: Restless Natives on Blu-ray | £14.99 on Amazon

A few price drops to talk about, some of which are being timed to the incoming Mother’s Day in the middle of the month.

We never got to see Robert Zemeckis’ take on Roald Dahl’s book The Witches on the big screen, but a new reduction in price of the DVD means it’s cheaper to buy to watch at home. The DVD version has come down to £7 at Amazon.
