Welcome to the first Slaughter of 2007! Sorry I missed last week, but I had to recover after the madness that is the holidays. With that aside it looks like this is one week that delivers, as we have Killer Crocs in the theater with PRIMEVAL, the DVD debut of the controversial (and over-rated) MURDER SET PIECES, the nasty and uncut version of DOOM ASYLUM, and the flick with the coolest name for the week, MEXICAN WEREWOLF IN TEXAS. If anything, the next few weeks of January should be slaughtering enough good stuff to please just about everyone… Happy New Year, indeed!
