The last week of April and the beginning of the “Summer Box Office” season, there’s some pretty cool shite hitting DVD this week, but nothing hitting theaters to whet your horror pallet. DVD brings us the teenage drama THE UNINVITED, the sick and twisted MARTYRS, and the flick that has Kim Basinger fighting back in WHILE SHE WAS OUT. Not a bad week to catch some decent flicks, and yes… even a few crappy ones (THE POSSESSED, ONE-EYED MONSTER, and PSYCHOS IN LOVE also hit DVD this week).
