R (violence, profanity, gore, torture, slurs, brief drugs, vulgarity)

"Changeling" (Universal, $29.98) — ★★★ — Parts of this well-done, fact-based mystery are far more horrifying than anything the makers of "Saw" could ever imagine.

Special features: Behind-the-scenes minidocumentary.

R (violence, gore, profanity, brief drugs, brief partial nudity, vulgarity)

"Choke" (Fox, $27.98) — ★★1/2 — A darkly comic, highly dysfunctional and possibly offensive tale based on the Chuck Palahniuk novel.

R (vulgarity, sex, profanity, nudity, slurs, brief drugs, violence)

"Dead Like Me: Life After Death" (MGM, $26.98) — Direct-to-video sequel to the short-lived Showtime television series "Dead Like Me."

R (profanity, sex, violence)

"Flash of Genius" (Universal, $29.98) — ★★ — One of the dullest, most by-the-numbers biographical dramas in recent memory.

PG-13 (profanity, vulgarity, brief drugs)

"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" (Disney, $29.99) — ★★1/2 — It might not appeal to new audiences, but the big-screen "musical" has a likable cast and a lot of energy.

G (violence, mild vulgarity, slurs)

"How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" (MGM, $27.98) — ★★1/2 — There's very little in this painfully unfunny Simon Pegg vehicle that isn't irritating.
