In this throwback to the classic horror-comedies of yesteryear, seventeen year-old Sara has more than an overbearing Mom to worry about. Her frenemy circle is closing in, and she still has feelings for her dumb but smokin' hot ex-boyfriend, Skyler. When hormones win out over common sense, Sara has sex with Skylar, but fails to use protection. Shewakes up pregnant the next day...nine months pregnant. Utterly confused and frightened, Sara turns to the only person she can truly trust to help her -without ruining her rep - her nerdy ex-best friend, Hayley. After giving birth to the Snatcher, they realize that the carnage has only begun, and enlist the help of a conspiracy theory- obsessed alpaca farmer to put an end to it once and for all. Equal parts Shaun of Dead, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gremlins, Snatchers tackles female empowerment, teen pregnancy, and xenophobia in a hilarious and truly scary way. You'll laugh, you'll jump, and you'll be inspired by some kick ass strong female leads.
Mumsy (Ursula Howells) Nanny (Pat Heywood) and overgrown children Sonny (Howard Trevor) and Girly (Vanessa Howard) are a happy family living in a sprawling decaying mansion. Sonny and Girly bring friends home to play but if they don't obey the rules they are tried and sent to the angels. The arrival of new friend (Michael Bryant) - a gigolo on the run after his girlfriend is accidentally killed while playing with Sonny and Girly upsets the household with his very own brand of adult games playing the quartet off against each other. But Girly doesn't like to share her friends; not even with Mumsy and Nanny....
When a remote Mexican oilfield comes down with a nasty case of Graboids (for the uninitiated: giant carnivorous worms with tunnelling abilities that put Bugs Bunny to shame), it is up to those veteran monster exterminators Burt and Earl to save the day--and accumulate some much-needed payola in the process. But this time, the slimy critters may have a few new tricks up their ... um, sleeves. Although denied a chance to appear in the cinema, this unjustly neglected direct-to-video sequel delivers the same winning mixture of cornpone and gore that made the original Tremors a cult classic. Although Kevin Bacon is missing, Michael Gross and the wonderful Fred Ward reprise their roles from the first film. A hoot-and-a-half for horror and SF fans, Tremors 2 has some genuine scares and a welcome sense of humour. The DVD, presented in 1.85:1 widescreen format, has trailers for both movies but no other extra features. --Andrew Wright

A film student who is obsessed with the movie Grave Encounters sets out with his friends to visit the psychiatric hospital depicted in the original film.
This was the first solo feature by Jack Hill (Coffy, Switchblade Sisters, Foxy Brown), whom Quentin Tarantino dubbed 'the Howard Hawks of exploitation filmmaking', and it remains one of his wildest and weirdest. The credits dub this 'the maddest story ever told', a promise that's well on the way to being fulfilled in the opening scene alone, when Virginia traps and kills a hapless deliveryman in her makeshift web. She's one of three siblings who suffer from a unique genetic disorder that causes them to regress back to childhood, while retaining the physical strength and sexual maturity of adults. Lon Chaney Jr gave one of his most memorable late performances as Bruno, their guardian and protector, who has managed to cover up their crimes until two distant relatives lay claim to their house. When they insist on moving in, Bruno has to cross his fingers and hope that the 'children' behave towards their new guests...

BBC TV's legendary 1992 Halloween special caused a storm of controversy. The programme went out as a 'live' telecast about a haunted house on a London estate with Michael Parkinson as anchor man in the studio Mike Smith presenting the phone-in Sarah Greene as the reporter in the house itself and Craig Charles as the Outside Broadcast interviewer. According to the press at least in the days following transmission it caused a wave of panic among the British viewing public similar
28 Days Later:In this film from director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland a powerful virus is unleashed on the British public following a raid on a primate research facility by animal rights activists. Transmitted in a drop of blood and devastating within seconds the virus locks those infected into a permanent state of murderous rage. Within 28 days the country is overwhelmed and a handful of survivors begin their attempts to salvage a future little realising that the dea
Run aground during a fierce storm a group of passengers are forced to abandon ship. As the survivors (among them prisoners a prison guard and a criminal psychologist) struggle ashore they find themselves at an apparently deserted lighthouse.

Hunting them down one by
It has been five years since the disappearance of Katie and Hunter, and a suburban family witnesses strange events in their neighborhood when a woman and a mysterious child move in.
A modern-day take on the Beauty and the Beast tale where a New York teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love.
Brace yourself: this is a clever, consistently entertaining and even inspired continuation of the mean-spirited slasher series. For those not in the know, Chucky is a mop-top kid's doll come to life with the soul of a serial killer and the voice of Brad Dourif (doing his best Jack Nicholson). Revived by his former paramour Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly, looking every inch a life-size Barbie in stiletto heels and skintight black leather), Chucky proceeds to turn his human sweetie into a pint-sized Talking Tina doll with attitude, and together they hit the road for a magic amulet and young new bodies to inhabit. They hitch a ride with sweet young runaways Katherine Heigl and Nick Stabile and leave a trail of corpses bloodied, burned and cut to ribbons. The kids are cute, but the real heat is generated by the latex lovers who use murder as foreplay and consummate their renewed romance in a night of passionate sex ("Shouldn't you wear a rubber?" "I'm all rubber!"). Hong Kong director Ronny Yu (The Bride with White Hair) directs with a light touch and against all odds transforms walking dolls Chucky and Tiffany into funny, energetic, full-blooded characters: l'amour fou has never been more crazy. John Ritter costars as Heigl's overprotective uncle (another obstacle on the road to dolly freedom) and Alexis Arquette is hilarious as a lanky goth nerd. The wild conclusion leaves room for another high-concept sequel. The DVD features two commentary tracks, a behind-the-scenes documentary, and "Jennifer Tilly's Diary." --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com
