Start saving your pennies because Tartan has a laundry list of goodies coming to DVD in the upcoming months of March and April. Inside you'll find the DVD cover art for Bloody Reunion, along with the dates for a handful of titles we've previously announced here, such as the extremely hyped Thai horror film Shutter (review), which has blown both Buzz and my mind. Read on for the skinny on all of the titles.

Her dad was particularly interested in Andries Martiens, a man sentenced to death for slaughtering several youths.

She discovers she was once friends with three other girls, and together they formed an impenetrable alliance. As terrifying visions haunt her waking hours and more friends continue to die, Ji-won draws closer to discovering the mystery that connects past and present, but sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
