A fairly slow week on both DVD and in theaters, especially since there are no theater releases this week. On DVD, we have the UK horror flick THE COTTAGE, the fun looking TIMBER FALLS, and Stephen Dorff in BOTCHED. See, I told you it was slow.
SLAUGHTERING STORES THIS WEEK
THE COTTAGE

Forced into hiding after their kidnapping plan goes awry, two rival siblings, David (Andy Serkis – The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Peter (Reece Shearsmith – Shaun of the Dead), find themselves fighting for their sanity while they hole up in a secluded country cottage. Weighed down by a hostage who refuses to stay quiet, or tied down, they are soon held captive by their own victim. But everyone’s problems go from bad to worse when they come face-to-face with their psychotic axe-wielding neighbor – a demented farmer with a dark, nasty secret buried where you’d least expect.

In the spirit of great horror comedies like Army of Darkness Shaun of The Dead and An American Werewolf in London comes BOTCHED a film that takes funny and gore to the next level. Having recently won best feature at the New York City Horror Film Festival the film’s star Stephen Dorff (Blade World Trade Center and who is currently filming Public Enemies with Johnny Depp Christian Bale and Director Michael Mann) also took home Best Actor honors as well. Jamie Murray (Dexter and the BBC series Hustle) is also along for the ride along with a ensemble cast of memorable characters. From producer Steve Richards who also brought you The Matrix: Reloaded House on Haunted Hill and the upcoming Guy Ritchie film RocknRolla comes the story of Ritchie Donovan (Stephen Dorff) a professional thief whose luck turns from bad to worse. The only survivor from a heist that goes terribly wrong Ritchie is forced to take the rap and is sent to Russia to steal a priceless antique cross locked in a safe on the penthouse floor of a Moscow skyscraper. Unfortunately his luck runs out yet again and things rapidly go downhill. During the robbery Ritchie and his Russian accomplices are trapped by police and are forced to take hostages seeking refuge on the building’s unused 13th Floor… and we all know how unlucky the number 13 is.
