There is no theatrical love this week. but there are some kick-ass STD’s hitting the DVD stands. One word: DMX. That’s all I need to say about CARNIVOROUS. Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr. is drowning into nowhere on another STD horror flick with THE DEVIL’S TOMB. Seriously? Sheesh. And finally, BENEATH THE FLESH, mostly cause the cover’s so cool.

Serpent kind of crocodile thingy killing people, but is not immune to a bazooka throw in some real bad CGI/Acting and a £10 budget and this is what you get. Filmed in blackovision to cover the cheap effects.
