Weaver (Gil Bellows; The Shawshank Redemption), a local police officer, appears to be Ryan's only supporter, but soon the trust he has in Ryan will be called into question when some strange things start happening at the HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET.

 

Directed by Mark Tonderai (Dog Eat Dog), and produced by Peter Block (Saw I- VI), this horror thriller will have you taking a closer look at your next door neighbour for weeks to come.

Vincent D'Onofrio gets "Chained".

Coming to UK DVD and BD this February, from the mind of writer/director Jennifer Lynch comes the shocker that has stunned audiences worldwide: When he was 9 years old, Tim and his mother were abducted by taxi‐driving serial killer Bob (an intensely disturbing performance by Vincent D’Onofrio - Law and Order : Criminal Intent).

 

Tim’s mother was murdered. Tim was kept as a chained slave, forced to bury the bodies of young women Bob drags home and keep scrapbooks of the crimes. Now a teenager, Tim (Eamon Farren) and Bob share a depraved father/son/protégé relationship. But who will ultimately sever the bond between ‘family’ and unimaginable horror?

 

Jake Weber (Dawn of the Dead 2004), Evan Bird (“The Killing”) and Julia Ormond (THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, TVs “Mad Men”) co‐star in what critics are calling one of the most controversial and uncompromising thrillers of our time.

 

The film is released to UK disc February 4th and contains alternate scenes as extreas.

Reality Kills on UK DVD this March!!!!

Director Jonathan Williams got in touch recently to tell us about his new film "Reality Kills : The Burningmore Incident", which comes to UK DVD this March.

 

Reality TV turns deadly when a construction team move in to clear an abandoned building, which was the setting of a series of brutal murders years earlier. They are followed around by a TV film crew, who are there to film their work as part of a new reality TV show about home makeovers.

 

But as it turns out, the building isn't so empty and abandoned as they first thought, and as night falls, the house becomes a brutal killing ground as the workers fall prey to a deranged killer, whilst the crews cameras capture everything.

 

Filmed in Long Island, New York. The film stars Geoff Tate, the lead singer from Queensryche, who makes his feature film debut in this.

 

The film is released to UK DVD on March 4th from E-One Entertainment

Grabbers - UK DVD/BD review

Sony pictures kindly sent me a copy of their new horror comedy "Grabbers", by director Jon Wright, to take a look at. So not wishing to disappoint, here’s my review.
 

A Meteor that crashes down in the ocean marks the start of a series of bizarre disappearances from around the nearby island of Erin. The boozed up local policeman, Ciaran (Richard Coyle) and his new assistant Lisa (Ruth Bradley) investigate, but fail to find any bodies. Though they do turn up and awful lot of heads.
 

When a strange tentacled creature gets captured by a local fishermen, they realise its the start of an alien invasion and the island is now under siege. Fortunately, it turns out these creatures are adversely affected by alcohol, so as the creatures prepare to attack, the locals head for the bar for a drinking frenzy the likes of which has never been seen.
 

Imagine “Night of the Living Dead”, but set in a pub instead of a farmhouse, and with Cthulu creatures instead of zombies and throw in a lot of jokes about the Irish’s love of drink, and you have “Grabbers”. If you enjoyed “Shaun of the Dead”, you should like this.
 

The film is already out on UK DVD and Blu-Ray and comes with filmmakers commentary track, an interview with Director Jon Wright, a behind the scenes feature, a selection of outtakes and a photo gallery as extras.
