Now that it’s November, the onslaught of horror has receded a bit, but at least we get a theaterical release, even if it is PG-13 ‘trash’. The DVD shelves are light this week as well, with a couple of awesome 3 packs (for the price of 1!), an 80s stalker classic and a little indie horror flick that’s been high on the must-see list around these parts. Dig in!
THE RETURN
Rated: PG-13 for violence, terror and disturbing images.
Directed by Asif Kapadia
Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kate Beahan, Peter O’Brien
Joanna Mills is a tough young Midwesterner determined to learn the truth behind the increasingly terrifying supernatural visions that have been haunting her. She has made a successful career for herself, as sales representative for a trucking company; but her private life has been difficult. Estranged from her father, stalked by an obsessed ex-boyfriend, and with few friends in her life, Joanna fears that she is losing control. She sees and feels the brutal murder of a young woman she’s never met, at the hands of a heartless killer–a man who appears to be making Joanna his next target. Determined to fight back, Joanna is guided by her nightmares to the murdered woman’s hometown. Once there, she will discover that some secrets can’t be buried; some spirits never die; and that the murder she is trying to solve may be her own.
SLAUGHTERING STORES THIS WEEK
IT’S ALIVE 3-PACK
Rated: R
Directed by Larry Cohen, Jerry Jameson
Starring Frederic Forrest, Kathleen Lloyd, John P. Ryan, John Marley, Andrew Duggan.
It’s newborn. It’s Alive (Disc 1). And murder is what it knows best! A proud couple’s bundle of joy is really a newborn terror in filmmaker Larry Cohen’s cautionary cult hit that tapped into environmental fears. The horror grows when multiple child monsters rampage in It Lives Again (Disc 2/Side A) – and as two brave parents try to stop them by becoming the bait for their spree. The now global terrors are rounded up and relocated to a far-flung island (but not for long!) in It’s Alive III: Island of the Alive (Disc 2/Side B). Will a parent’s greatest nightmare become the world’s gravest fear? Find out…if you dare.

FREAK OUT
Rated: UnRated
Directed by: Christian James.

Merv Doody (James Heathcoate) is the ultimate horror movie geek until the day a notvery- dangerous escaped mental patient lands on his doorstep. With the help of his ambitious buddy Onkey (co-writer/producer Dan Palmer), the two decide to groom this feeble nutcase into a legendary slasher-movie maniac. But when the masked wacko develops a taste for bloodshed, he becomes a walking, stalking killing machine that only Merv and Onkey can stop. Gratuitous nudity, gross-out gore, foul language, arse piranhas, ska-punk legends Less Than Jake, and more — await in this international cult sensation written, produced and directed by Christian James that fans and critics call the most offensive and hilarious horror comedy of the year!
