Here’s a quick look at the Top Blu-ray Releases for April 2025 in the UK. I think if fair to say it was yet another excellent month of titles coming to 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray.

As always my primary focus is firmly on the older classics receiving new restorations and 4K Ultra HD / Blu-ray releases from the likes of Arrow Video, Second Sights Films, 88 Films, Paramount and Warner Bros.
Well April 2025 saw several Clint Eastwood movies release on 4K Ultra HD, along with the classic western Tombstone (1993),
Meanwhile Second Sight gave us the Ti West horror film, The House of the Devil (2009) on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray.
