Up until this week it has been pretty dry when it comes to DVD releases -- why everyone decided to release their movies on the exact same day is beyond me. Inside you'll find a complete list of DVD hitting retailers this Tuesday, March 27. Some items of note are Tartan Asia Extreme's Thai horror film Shutter; seven of the eight After Dark feature film; Fox Atomic's Turistas and loads more! Read on and prepare to start selling your old stuff on Half.com.
Horror in Your House
March 27, 2007
By: Tex Massacre
Albert Fish: Facets
Albert Fish is the horrific true story of elderly cannibal, sadomasochist, and serial killer, who lured children to their deaths in Depression-era New York City.
Cinema of Death: Cult Epics
Both macabre and lyrical, these five experimental short films focus on the darkness and decay of death.
Dark Ride: Lionsgate
A group of six friends on a road trip stop off at an amusement park attraction named 'Dark Ride', unaware that a psychopath, who brutally murdered two girls, has just escaped a mental institution and is seeking refuge there.
That’s right genre mavens. The After Dark Horrorfest arrives this week and your wallets just got a hell of a lot thinner.
The Eden Formula: Westlake
Hidden deep in the industrial district of downtown Los Angeles, Dr. Harrison Parker has developed the Eden Formula. This new, revolutionary, cutting-edge technology can actually synthetically reproduce virtually ANY organism. AND IT DOES! Locked away in a subterranean vault is a prehistoric creature created by the scientists at Calgorin Industries to impress their stockholders. Unknown to Dr. Parker, his research has been used to genetically create a giant TYRANOSAURUS REX!
Carnosaur 3, Jurassic Park 4, Land before Time XXIII? It’s more dino-disaster this week.
The Gravedancers: Lionsgate
A group of friends' lives are invaded by a trio of hostile ghosts after they engage in a drunken bout of gravedancing during a wake for an old chum.
The Hamiltons: Lionsgate
The Hamiltons seem to be the picture-perfect American family. They are hardworking community members; giving to their local charities, attending town hall meetings and always respectful of their neighbors...except for the fact that they usually end up killing them.
A close call of the best of the “After Dark” title, if you don’t get ‘em all, you need to get this one for sure.
I Spit on your Corpse, I Piss on your Grave: SRS Cinema
Sandy has stumbled onto a lair of torture and humiliation. She was abducted and brought to this pit of pain as the next intended victim. But Sandy overthrows her captor and kills him. Does she release the other prisoners? Does she call the police? No. Her mind snaps and she assumes control over the prisoners, taking them as her own playtoys.
Kill Baby Kill: Dark Sky
An eerie gothic ghost-story-with-a-body-count set in a quaint Italian turn-of-the-century village. When a city coroner arrives to examine the latest victim in a long string of "suicides," he discovers a town of deserted streets, suspicious and terrified townspeople, and a conspiracy of silence. The town is haunted by the specter of a homicidal adolescent girl, a creepy vision in white whose little-girl giggles become chilling as she randomly chooses her victims and sends them to their gory deaths.
Mario Bava’s masterwork pops back on DVD again this week.
Penny Dreadful: Lionsgate
Penny, a young woman traumatized by a childhood auto accident that killed her parents, accompanies her therapist on a road trip back to the scene of the accident as part of her therapy to overcome her fear of cars. But, when the two women accidentally cross paths with a dark and mysterious Hitchhiker on a lonely stretch of mountain highway, an attempt at healing suddenly takes a terrifying detour into a horrific life and death struggle with a ruthless, deranged killer bent on preying upon Penny's worst fears.
Rachel Miner spends 92 minutes trapped in a car. It’s actually better than you’d think.
Pervert!: TLA
Russ Meyer would be proud! Salacious porn princess and ex-gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey heads a cast of scantily-clad, buxom vixens whose tops are popping amidst a devious serial killer wreaking havoc by splattering buckets of gore.
Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes: Sony Pictures
After the residents of a small community learn the town mortician has been dumping the bodies of their loved ones in a swamp, they turn to demonic forces to seek revenge. Enlisting the aid of a witch named Haggis, the townspeople summon the demon Pumpkinhead through the mummified body of a former local nemesis.
Pumpkinhead meets Pinhead as Doug Bradley stars in this third entry in the series. Lance Henriksen returns as well.
Reincarnation: Lionsgate
Thirty-five years after the slaughter, a film director returns to the scene of a mass murder to recreate the gruesome killings on film. As he and his crew step foot into the now abandoned hotel, the cast members begin to see creepy visions and have nightmares. When shooting commences, the cast members begin to suffer very familiar fates...the exact fates they are to act out in the film...
Roman: Echo Bridge (TEX’S PICK OF THE WEEK)
A lonely young man's obsession with his neighbor gets the best of him, resulting in a murder, a cover-up ... and a potential new romance?
Lucky McKee and Angela Bettis switch roles in this companion piece to MAY.
Sadomaster: SRS Cinema
Extreme urban violence reigns in Argentina. Senator Beccar Varela rises as the only way to stop violence with his "zero tolerance" politic. But what people don’t suspect is that Beccar is the head of the Nazi gang that causes the violence. When members of the gang torture and rape a retarded man, a mysterious masked avenger begins his brutal revenge against the gangs and the corrupt politics.
Shutter: Tartan
A young photographer and his girlfriend discover mysterious shadows in their photographs after a tragic accident. They soon learn that you can not escape your past.
Turistas: Fox
A group of young backpackers' vacation turns sour when a bus accident leaves them marooned in a remote Brazilian jungle that holds an ominous secret.
Let’ see, first the outback, then caves and Eastern Europe, now Brazil. I guess I’m never going on vacation again.
Unrest: Lionsgate
Alison Blanchard begins her journey to become a physician in her Gross Anatomy class, where she must confront rows of cadavers and her own fear of mortality. When the sheets are drawn back revealing her cadaver, Alison senses a presence in the lab. Her jaded professor chalks it up to first year "jitters" but her worries increase when a friend is found dead in the basement. Alison must find out the truth behind her cadaver before its angered spirit can wreak further vengeance on those who dared to disturb the body.
My personal fave from the After Dark Horrorfest adds a whole new dimension to creepy hospital films.
Wicked Little Things: Lionsgate
Recently widowed Karen Tunny and her two daughters, Sarah and Emma, move to a remote mountain home which Karen has inherited from the family of her late husband. However, she is unaware that the home is situated near an old mine, the site of an early 20th century tragedy in which many children were buried alive...
