Horror in Your House January 20, 2009 By: Tex Massacre

AMUSEMENT: New Line

Tabitha. Shelby. Lisa. They're longtime friends on separate life paths. But they share a horrific destination when a seemingly innocent incident from their school days comes back to terrify them. Something - someone - wants payback: warped vengeance... mind-games vengeance...taunting, shredding, slashing vengeance. Inside a stone-walled chamber of prison cells and mechanisms of doom, the three women and other victims face a fierce fight to survive. Who lives? Who dies? It's all for someone's Amusement. BOOGEYMAN 3: Sony Pictures When college sophomore Sarah Morris witnesses the alleged suicide of her best friend, it sets into motion a series of horrific events that cause Sarah to fear the supernatural entity known as the Boogeyman. As she tries to convince the rest of her dorm that the Boogeyman does exist, the evil force grows stronger and her friends begin to pay the price. Now Sarah must stop this ultimate evil before the entire campus falls prey because the question isn't whether or not the Boogeyman is going to get them...it's HOW and WHEN! TEX SAYS: Yet another sequel in the unnecessary and unwanted sequels department (See VACANCY 2). Will we never learn? COLD PREY: Anchor Bay Five teenage snowboarders are forced to spend the night in a mysteriously abandoned ski lodge. Except somebody—or something—already lives there. It is huge, savage and unstoppable…and now it’s pissed off. But if you think this is going to be the usual ‘trapped teens stalked by a maniac’ movie, you’re dead wrong. TEX SAYS: If you think Norwegian genre cinema only let’s the right ones in, then you’d be correct so far. Check out a very “cool” slasher film that definitely knows how to work the conventions and turn out a satisfying bloodbath! 'COLD PREY' DVD review HERE IGOR: MGM/Fox Determined to prove he can create his own diabolical invention, a mad scientist’s -guy assistant Igor creates a female Franken-monster. But his creation, Eva is sweet and sings show tunes! That is, until she falls into the clutches of Dr. Schadenfreude and his shape-shifting girlfriend. Now it’s up to Igor and his sidekicks to save Eva— and their country—from real evildoers, including sneaky Prince Malpert! TEX SAYS: More animated kiddie horrors with a cast to die for! KING OF THE HILL: Weinstein Co./Genius After a man traveling alone has a steamy encounter with a beautiful stranger, the pair join up and take a detour through the hills. But they are suddenly forced to abandon their cars when an unseen sniper puts them in his crossfire. Without understanding why they are being targeted, the strangers must survive their ruthless pursuers and their harsh surroundings. MOONLIGHT: The Complete Series: Warner Any private eye knows a lot about other people's secrets. L.A. private eye Mick St. John has a secret of his own. He’s a vampire, dwelling in a covert netherworld complicated by friendship with an undead finance honcho, memories of the alluring ex- wife who turned him into a vampire, and a relationship with a human he feels drawn to protect – and maybe to love. But no matter how tempting, Mick knows a vampire-human romance is eternally dangerous. OLD HAG: SRS Cinema A small group of workers on the nightshift in a large warehouse... A new crate containing the body of a famous serial killer arrives... Strange things start to happen which eventually threaten the well-being of the night crew. Is it the supernatural? Has the killer's ghost returned? Or is it something else preying on the crew one by one? Based on a phenomenon called sleep paralysis, or "Old Hag", the movie follows the warehouse staff to a disturbing conclusion. REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA: Lionsgate (TEX PICK OF THE WEEK)

In the not-so-distant future, a worldwide epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants...for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by the villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera. TEX SAYS: It goes without saying that you need to see this film. I highly recommend getting the Blu-ray on this bad boy. In 20-years THIS is the film they will still be talking about! SAW V: Lionsgate In the fifth installment, Detective Hoffman is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. However, when his secret is threatened, Hoffman must go on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends. TEX SAYS: SAW V better all be set up for SAW VI or somebody is has got some serious explaining to do. “You won’t believe how it ends” Damn straight…I couldn’t believe how stupid it was either. VACANCY 2: THE FIRST CUT: Sony Pictures Suspecting only a night of hard beds and tacky décor, Caleb, his sexy new fiancée Jessica and his sarcastic best friend Tanner, check into the Meadow View Inn. They have no idea that it is not just another lonely motel, but a horrific trap where guests are brutally tortured and murdered while the sadistic maniac Mr. Smith and his greedy accomplices film the grisly slayings for profit. Caught in a deadly game or cat and mouse, the three young friends now must fight to survive. TEX SAYS: Wow…just…Wow…Everything that the original film did right is totally unraveled in this painful prequel, which only leaves us with one question. How can three people as inept as these actually amass the body count that is unveiled in the original film?
