DVD Buzz-Saw #48

FINAL DESTINATION 3 – July 25th

If you enjoy watching stupid teenagers die in imaginative ways, then FD3 just made your July! Two discs of fun, but eerily no unrated death sequence edition- which means they don’t have the balls to release one, or they have plans to release one… at a later date. Special note: the Choose-Their-Fate interactive feature does contain new plot twists not seen in theaters, all specially shot during production for this DVD. Sweet.

The Goods:

English Dolby Digital 5.1 EX, DTS 6.1 ES and Stereo Surround tracks

Commentary by director and co-writer James Wong, co-writer Glen Morgan and director of photography Robert Mclachlan

Choose-Their-Fate Interactive feature

It’s All Around You animated short (looking at death statistics)

Also to note: FINAL DESTINATION: THRILL-OGY – July 25th


All 3 films in one place. If you didn’t own them before, here’s your chance to own them all… until the 4th one comes out.

THE OMEN: COLLECTOR’S EDITION – June 20th

A few weeks after THE OMEN is remade, Fox is releasing this Collector’s Edition, so you too can own the classic… in a whole new way. I’m glad I haven’t forked over the dough for this one yet, because this edition looks dope! Gotta love the new cover- and the tag line!

NIGHT STALKER: THE COMPLETE SERIES – May 30th

Missed your chance to catch this short-lived ABC remake of the cult classic TV show from the 70s? Never fear, as the entire series will soon be available to own this May. The good news: you can catch up on some truly good TV that never found it’s audience. The bad news: they’ll never make any more episodes.

The Goods:

“Making of The Night Stalker” featurette with Frank Spotnitz

BLOODRAYNE: UNRATED DIRECTOR’S CUT – May 23rd

Say what you will about Uwe Boll’s track record of video game to screen adaptations, any movie featuring this much blood and gore, and more importantly, Kristanna Loken’s ta-ta’s, can’t be all bad. Since only 4 of you out there caught it in theaters, why not check it out on DVD? You get 5 extra minutes of violence and nudity, so what do you have to lose?

The Goods:

Audio commentary by director Boll

CGI filmmaking featurette with storyboards

Deleted scenes

Stunt outtakes

Honorable Mentions:


PRAY – April 11th – Because when has Tartan Extreme ever let you down?


NATURAL CITY – April 18th – Because there isn’t anything ‘natural’ about this one…


THE HEIRLOOM – April 25th – Because it just sounds freaky.


TAMARA – May 9th – Because hot teens and revenge are never a bad combination.

THE DEAD ZONE: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON – June 13th – Because TV is so much better without commercials.



EVIL ALIENS – September 26th – Because gooey zombie alien fun is as wholesome as American pie.
