The first week of April is somewhat ho-hum, though a ton of DVDs are hitting stores today, making up for last week’s lack of just about anything. In theaters is the classic Sci-Fi throwback ALIEN TRESPASS, and on DVD comes the acclaimed TIMECRIMES, a special edition of CAT IN THE BRAIN, and all 8 AFTER DARK HORRORFEST entries, including your ability to buy all 8 at once. Add all that up, and you have a ton of cool new shite to check out!

SLAUGHTERING STORES THIS WEEK
TIMECRIMES
Rated: R
Starring Karra Elejalde
Directed by Nacho Vigalondo
Run Time: 92 Min.
A man being pursued by a murderer stumbles into a mysterious lab and accidentally travels back in time. A
naked girl in the midst of the forest. A cloaked stranger with his face covered in bandages. A disquieting
mansion on the top of a hill. All of them pieces of an unpredictable jigsaw puzzle where terror, drama and suspense will lead to an unthinkable sort of crime. Who’s the murderer? Who’s the victim?
CAT IN THE BRAIN
Rated:UnRated
Starring Lucio Fulci, Robert Egon, Brett Halsey, Paul Muller, Maurice Poli
Directed by Lucio Fulci
Run Time: 95 minutes
Acclaimed Italian horror maestro Lucio Fulci, director of ZOMBIE and THE BEYOND, stars in this blood-soaked epic as a director being driven insane by his own movies. Fulci is thrust into an ultra-violent nightmare of death and depravity where murder and madness consume his sanity in a vortex of violence. CAT IN THE BRAIN is a psychological masterpiece in the tradition of such cinematic classics as PSYCHO, STRAIT-JACKET, ERASERHEAD and Fellini’s 8 1/2.
