THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 - July 17th
Surprised to find this piece on DVD so soon? Sure, this crappy cranked-out sequel might have just hit theaters (and is probably still in most of them), but that doesn't mean Fox doesn't have it's eye on the prize where the real money's at (DVD, baby!). I'd say in about a year or so, movies will hit theaters one week, and on DVD the next...

ICHI THE KILLER: SPECIAL EDITION - May 29th
If you have been waiting for the ultimate gross-out, and HOSTEL just isn't doing it for you, then try this bitch on for size. Self mutilation and bubbling oil will take new meaning for you, and if you're gonna check it out, it might as well be on this sweet new Special Edition. Plus, check out who's on the Making-Of feature. Eat your heart out, Harry Knowles!

THE MESSENGERS - June 5th
Two things popped into my mind after seeing this cover: one, this Kristen Stewart chick has the face of an 8 year old. And two, this Kristen Stewart chick has the body and the rack of a 19 year old. Where does that leave me? In a weird place, but that doesn't change the fact that this was just a so-so horror flick directed by the Pang Bros. and turned into something completely different by the studio. And if you didn't get the memo, according to the Special Features, this 8 year old with the hot adult body is a rising star. Says so right on the DVD so it has to be true!

FOREST OF THE DEAD - June 12th
Two words: nice cover! I don't know much about this flick, but I really dig the style of the cover art, and sometimes that's all you need. Plus, zombies in the forest seem to work well, as I actually really dug SEVERED: FOREST OF THE DAMNED, another STD that came out earlier this year. But this, THIS zombie in the forest flick rules with it's stylishness. Yes, I just used the word stylishness.

DVD Covers:
SEX MACHINE –May 1st– Because it looks like a mix between DARKMAN and FROM DUSK TIL DAWN. Rip-off? Probably. Good times? You bet!
PRIMEVAL –June 12th – Because they stopped kidding themselves, and are finally selling this as a KILLER CROC MOVIE!
THE BREED –May 22nd – Because the cover features a chick in a bikini top and some hungry looking pooches. Color me intrigued!
That's all for this week! Stay tuned every week for your latest DVD news, and as always, feel free to shoot me an email (ammongilbert@joblo.com ) for any & all DVD news, scoops, and easter eggs!
