Here’s a look at what’s new or notable in home video. Movies and TV series are available on streaming sites such as itunes, Amazon and Vudu unless otherwise noted.

New — Amazon original

“Sylvie’s Love”: Music is central to several of this season’s notable movies, including “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” Pixar’s “Soul” and “Lover’s Rock” from director Steve Mcqueen’s “Small Axe” anthology. Add the jazzand R&b-drenched romance “Sylvie’s Love” to the list.

The movie is centered on Sylvie (Tessa Thompson), a young woman in 1950s Harlem who finds love, a family and her dream career in TV are within her reach, but not all at once.

Now streaming on Amazon Prisme.

New — Blu-ray reissue

“Resident Evil: The Complete Collection”: The family that slays together stays together — at least in the case of actress Milla Jovovich and her husband, director Paul W.S. Anderson. Before their box office-topping “Monster Hunter,” they collaborat­ed on the “Resident Evil” franchise, also adapted from a popular video game.

This box set includes 4K ultrahigh definition versions of all six movies, critic-proof special effects splatterfe­sts in which Alice ( Jovovich) defends an ever-dwindling remnant of humanity from zombies, mutant dogs and ruthless businessme­n after a virus is released in an undergroun­d lab.

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray box set on sale now.

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”: Netflix’s “Riverdale”

adjacent horror series has come a long way in a short time. A gothic high-school melodrama about a teenage witch (Kiernan Shipka) who wants to be normal

and good, though fate has something else in store for her, has grown into a hellacious epic of evil vs. other evil, with eldritch terrors and something called “The Void” now threatenin­g not just Greendale but the world.

Fans of the “Sabrina” sitcom need to know this version comes with much more satanism and sick humor (Aunt Zelda never roasted a child for the Dark Lord on ABC).

Seasons one to three streaming on Netflix; season four debuts Thursday.

Also: The Melissa Joan Hart sitcom “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” is available on Hulu and CBS All Access.
