The home entertainment market is buzzing with fresh arrivals this month, ranging from daring new streaming series to premium physical editions of award-winning films and a once-in-a-lifetime rock concert film. Whether you favour vertical-format action, documentary intrigue, or classic horror on 4K disc, the coming weeks promise something for every shelf and screen.
Streaming picks and critic scores
ReelShort’s newest spy thriller, Agent of Shadows, attempts a vertical-video aesthetic with WWE star Drew McIntyre at its centre. Film critic Tony Toscano lambastes the effort, calling it “overacted, terribly paced and badly edited,” and slaps an F on the series, urging viewers to skip it entirely. By contrast, Hulu and Disney+ deliver Super Scam Me, a documentary hosted by award-winning journalist Mariana Van Zeller. Toscano praises its investigative vigor, awarding a solid B and recommending it as “watchable and satisfying.”
Apple TV introduces season two of the animated fantasy The Sisters Grimm, where two orphaned sisters navigate a town populated by living fairy-tale characters. Toscano finds the show “delightful” and assigns another B. Prime Video’s crime-comedy Sticky follows a rag-tag crew of artists hunting a suspected serial killer in the hills. The critic views it as a “fun love letter to Hollywood’s eccentricities,” also meriting a B. All four titles remain unrated, relying instead on the critic’s letter-grade system.
Disc and digital drops on October 27
Physical collectors have a busy day on October 27. The Criterion Collection releases Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD. Both the theatrical 150-minute cut and the expanded 158-minute “Reborn Cut” are presented with a 4K digital master and Dolby Atmos sound, housed in a two-disc 4K combo (Dolby Vision HDR) and a three-disc DVD set. The film, starring Oscar Isaac as Victor and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, earned nine Academy Award nominations and secured three wins, including Best Production Design.
Other October 27 releases include Myriad Pictures’ Spanish drama The 47 on DVD (Kino Lorber), and Paramount Global’s horror thriller The Lost Ones digitally, starring Henry Golding. Ridley Scott’s post-apocalyptic drama The Dog Stars becomes available for premium digital rental and purchase, with a DVD/4K Blu-ray arrival slated for December 1. Well Go USA adds the Indonesian-Korean supernatural thriller Ghost in the Cell to its digital catalog, while Level 33 Entertainment releases the horror mash-up Ever After on demand. Finally, Kino Lorber brings the 2009 spy-romance Duplicity to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time.
Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath concert film arrives December 11
The long-awaited concert film Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning will land on home media Friday, December 11, via Mercury Studios. The three-and-a-half-hour production captures Ozzy’s final live show at Birmingham’s Villa Park on July 5, 2025, featuring a reunion of the original Sabbath lineup (Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward). Available in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, CD and double-LP vinyl, the release includes Dolby Atmos, Dolby 2.1 and 5.1 mixes. An instant-gratification track—Ozzy’s live “Mr Crowley”—is already streaming for pre-order customers.
Collectors can also pre-order a deluxe box set (release April 23, 2027) that adds a bonus HD Blu-ray containing 35 guest performances, a 72-page hardback book, exclusive coloured vinyl variants, a pendant necklace and numbered certificate. The standard edition offers several configurations: a three-disc set (UHD Blu-ray + HD Blu-ray + CD), a two-disc Blu-ray + 2LP package, and a Japanese SHM-CD version. The digital soundtrack mirrors the live setlist, featuring classics such as “War Pigs,” “Crazy Train” and “Paranoid.”
