DVD BUZZ-SAW #52

SMALL GAUGE TRAUMA – July 25th

If you didn’t have a chance to check out the Fantasia Film Festival over the last decade, here’s your chance to catch 13 award winning shorts- ranging from zombies to voodoo to stop motion animation! And of course, they’re all very sick and twisted, just the way you like it. And when I say short, I mean it- 39 minutes is the longest entry- perfect for those days when you just need a quick horror-filled fix.

THRESHOLD – THE COMPLETE SERIES – August 22nd

If you missed that one show a while back that featured alien invasions, but didn’t last too long on CBS… ok, that’s about 6 different shows… well, this one starred Data and the dude from MIMIC… What’s that, you say you didn’t miss it because you thought it looked lame? Oh, no, you say you missed it because you’ve never even heard of it before. Either way, prepare to relive the series during those dog-days of summer.

MANIA – October 31st

What better way to spend Halloween than picking up this newly released DVD about a bunch of teens who like to trip out in abandoned hospitals. That are haunted. Ok, maybe drinking lots of beer and begging for candy is a better way to spend Halloween… but what better day to spend the day after Halloween when you’re nursing that headache of yours?

SLITHER – No Street Date Yet

Hoping to make their money back on DVD, Universal’s going all out on this awesomely gross, horror/comedy that for some reason only a few people caught in the theater. But no worries! Movies like this thrive on DVD, becoming instant classics, and reach that ‘cult’ status every movie dreams of hitting to live on in infamy. Betcha box-office ‘hits’ like STAY ALIVE won’t have an afterlife like that!

Honorable Mentions:



THE DEVIL’S SWORD – June 27th – Because your girlfriend wants you to take an interest in foreign films… and you can tell her this one’s from Indonesia.

CANDY STRIPERS – June 27th – Because it’s about hot nurses… who are zombies… in skimpy uniforms… and it’s tagline is They’re running out of patients… What more do you need?

MUTATION – August 15th – Because you’ll need something to keep your mind off the fact that SNAKES ON A PLANE hits theaters 3 days after this release.

That’s all for this week! Stay tuned every Thursday for your latest DVD news, and as always, feel free to shoot me an email (ammongilbert@joblo.com
