DVD and Blu-Ray Releases: December 21st – Mega Shark is the Devil in Dead Space
We now have even more proof that holiday revelers are not thinking about horror as there are only three notable titles this week. What do you think about Devil being released so close to this religious holiday?
Zombie fans among us should appreciate The Horde; however, if The Foywonder’s recent tweet is any indication, Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus may not be a shiny present from Santa after all.
For the gamers out there, your early Xmas present just arrived in the form of a downloadable Dead Space 2 (watch trailer) demo arriving today on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Devil
Directed by The Dowdle Brothers (Drew Dowdle, John Erick Dowdle)
Starring Jacob Vargas, Bokeem Woodbine, Chris Messina, Matt Craven
Trapped in an elevator high above Philadelphia, five people discover that the Devil (Blu-ray DVD review) is among them – and no one can escape their fate. This chilling, supernatural thriller from M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs) will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way to a heart-stopping ending with a truly wicked twist. Check out our Devil Central.
Buy the Blu-ray or the regular DVD.
Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus
Directed by Christopher Ray
Starring Jaleel White, Gary Stretch, Robert Picardo
Chris Ray, the son of Fred Olen Ray, director of the yet-to-be-released Reptisaurus and Megaconda, continues his passion for giant killer reptiles by sitting in the director’s chair for this sequel to last year’s Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. This time the massive prehistoric shark returns victorious from its smackdown with a super-sized cephalopod to face a more dangerous opponent in the form a “crocosaurus” discovered in the jungles of Africa with the fate of the world somehow at stake. Watch the trailer.

The Horde
Directed by Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher
Starring Claude Perron, Jean-Pierre Martins, Eriq Ebouaney, Aurélien Recoing
Paris is burning, chaos reigns, and the undead are everywhere in The Horde (review), but the usual all-too-human bad behavior continues in this chilling zombie flick from France. After a policeman is brutally murdered by a criminal gang, four of his colleagues, including the dead man’s former girlfriend, plot revenge. They ambush the gang’s run-down high-rise base, but their attack goes wrong and they end up the captives of the sadistic, murdering creeps. Yet, just as the unlucky four are about to be executed by the brutal gang, a horde of fleet-footed cannibalistic creatures breaks into the building. The criminals and the cops, outnumbered by the zombies, quickly realize they must stand together against the flesh-eating monsters if any humans are to survive! Watch the trailer.
