DVD Pick of the Week: [REC] - Page 2

Part of: DVD Pick of the Week

The Haunting in Connecticut. This is a movie I enjoyed on the screen and have come to have fonder memories of in retrospect. It is one of the better ghost stories to reach the big screen in recent years. The movie is well acted and has an air of authenticity about it as we get deeper into the haunting. This is based on the true account of the Parker family who moved into a home in Connecticut in 1986 in order to be closer to the hospital where their son was receiving cancer treatment. Shortly after arriving, the boy started seeing apparitions in the house. That is when all hell seemed to break loose in this quiet Connecticut community. Interested in knowing more? This may be one you will want to check out.

OC Babes and the Slasher of Zombietown. How can you go wrong with a title like that? I have no idea what this movie is about and have no doubt that it is terrible; how can it not be? The description says that a group of OC stereotypes are trapped in a bar following a zombie outbreak, only to be trapped with a serial killer. Really? I may just have to see this. To top it off, the writer/director bears the name Creep Creepersin. Do you think that may be a pseudonym?

Fulci Frenzy (Perversion Story, The Psychic). Here is a two-pack of Fulci flicks, neither of which I have seen, so this may be a worthy pick-up to put alongside the likes of Zombi, The Beyond, and Cat in the Brain. Perversion Story centers on an insurance salesman who lands on death row for the murder of his wife. The problem is that she is still alive. The Psychic tells of a psychic woman who opens a wall in her husband's home, finds a skeleton, and proceeds to investigate who this person is. Sounds like a fun evening to me!
