Another slow week for theatrically released horror, but that doesn’t mean DVD is suffering… not one bit! The re-release of Wes Craven’s LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT hits the shelves (just in time for the remake’s release next month), as well as the craptacular HAUNTING OF MOLLY HARTLEY, which was my F-U movie of 2008. Eric Roberts rocks the house with CYCLOPS, and a killer Blu-Ray import of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 wraps up this week’s releases.

Molly Hartley (Bennett) hopes that with her mother locked away in a mental ward, she can forget the violence of her family’s past and start over. She has found a new life, a new school and a new boyfriend (Crawford). But when her secret past and haunting nightmares continue, Molly fears she has inherited her mother’s psychosis. What she doesn’t know is that she’s inherited something else…a secret far more horrifying than any fate she can imagine and a destiny she cannot avoid!

Import Blu-Ray/Region All pressing. Jason Voorhees (Richard Brooker) returns again to Camp Crystal Lake, where he drowned nearly three decades before while some negligent camp counselors made out on the beach. Understandably upset by this turn of events, Jason continues to haunt his old stomping grounds, dealing death to those thrill-seeking teens who venture into the woods. This time around, Jason faces tougher victims in the form of a motorcycle gang and dons his trademark hockey mask. The film was originally presented in theatres in 3-D.
