FUTURE KILL – October 31st
You take one kick ass cover from H.R. Giger, you throw in Edwin Neal and Marilyn Burns of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and a premise of ‘mutants’ stalking frat boys, and you have yourself a killer good time! Curiosity alone should capture your attention, and if you have nothing better to do Halloween night I’d say… go for it! You could do a whole hell of a lot worse! Better yet, make it a double-feature with TCM and have yourself a party – and then invite me, cause I need friends!

THE DEVIL’S RAIN – October 31st
What the hell is John Travolta, William Shatner and Tom Skerritt doing in this movie? Seriously, were they all trippin’ on acid in the forest together one day, and decided that a movie about the devil pissin’ on people was a good idea? Ok. So I don’t really know if the devil pisses on people in this flick, and I could probably guess that he doesn’t, but the title… man, the title suggests a ray of golden showers covering the earth. Now how f*cked up would that be?? Actually… that’d be pretty cool…
The Goods:
MANIAC COP: SPECIAL EDITION – November 14th
Bruce Campbell may be best known for as portrayal of Ash in the EVIL DEAD movies, but he’ll always have a place in my heart as that Maniac Cop. Or was he the maniac cop…? I guess you’ll have to pick this badboy up and see for yourself! Awesome cover, and kick ass features makes this pre-Thanksgiving release a tasty treat.
The Goods:
PULSE – December 5th
How a movie this sucky could rock a cover this cool is beyond me, but here you go. For the 2 of you out there who really give a flying f*ck when you can get your mitts on this p.o.s., relish in glory that is PULSE. For the rest of you… the unrated version might be worth a rental, but be sure to grab something else while you’re there, as you might have difficulty finishing it… and you’ll never get those 90 minutes of your life back.
The Goods:
ATTACK FORCE – December 5th
Ok seriously, Steven Seagal… in another straight to DVD action movie… where’s he’s one man against many… where he rocks the same constipated look the entire time (a look that he uses for ALL of the human emotions), and he’s standing here in what appears to be a MATRIX rip-off. How could you not want to pick this up! Love Seagal for the kick-ass action hero he was, and for the shitty action hero he is today. Yes, it’s so bad… it’s good. Just the way we like it around these parts…. And yes, I find it curious that both this and PULSE are released the same day…
The (Possible) Goods:
SNAKES ON A PLANE – January 2nd
Say what you will, but them muthaf*ckin’ snakes on that muthaf*ckin’ plane entertained the muthaf*ckin’ hell outta me and rocked my muthaf*ckin’ socks off! Least to say, I’ll be lappin’ up this loaded disc like it’s nobody’s business. Sure, without a jazzed crowd it might not be as fun, but damnit- I can invite my friends! All three of them.
The Goods:
THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT 2 – October 10th – Because this doesn’t star AK’s PUNK’D ass, and Smallville’s Lois Lane’s a hottie.
THE COMPLETE OMEN COLLECTION – October 17th – Because the original film is classic, and while the sequels were less than par, they’re good reminders to a)wait a long time to have kids, and b)never name them Damien.
DEVIL TIMES FIVE – November 21st – Because escaped loony’s on a murderous rampage is always entertaining.
