It's kind of crazy how many films are coming to DVD this week, and I don't think there's a single one I'd waste a minute of my life on. Maybe I'm just bitter because my Bears lost, but this week is horrendous looking if you ask me. We have a few direct-to-video Lionsgate titles, which are sure to be god awful; then there's an Echo Bridge title and a movie that was made just for the internet starring Tara Reid (wowsers). Read on to see everything you'll probably avoid, unless you're desperate.

Tara Reid stars, but at least this time she’s not playing a scientist!
Inexchange: Razor Digital Entertainment

The ghost of Poe visits Lenore in her dreams and offers her a way to escape from the killer.
That’s right sports fans; it’s time for another Ulli Lommel film. I’m sure this one is better than his last 60, so I’m tempted to make it my pick of the week. Then I realized that would be almost as cruel as watching it.
Return in Red: Image
Certain electromagnetic frequencies can cause mental disruption in human beings... and now someone has decided to put that to the test on the people of a small town.
Sickness House: Brain Damage
A group of friends get together for a New Year's Eve party without any idea that they may be trapped there longer than they expected when the house they're in is quarantined with them all inside.
And our award for most obvious title of the week goes too…
Grudge 2 Unnecessary? Given that it was about 10 times better than the allready good first it was defintely worth making, in my opinion.
Now, the Ring 2 however, was a pile of uncessary shit that didn't need making.
It's sad that the big studio release of the week is a terrible remake of a plotless film to begin with... The orginal Grudge films were terrible and so are the american remakes... Then again now days all you have to do is slap a PG-13 rating on a "horror" and I use that term loosely, film to get the big box office bucks...
