Beneath Still Waters (2005)
Directed by Brian Yuzna
Years ago, two boys vowed to go to their doomed town one more time before it is buried under the sea. They walk through the deserted town full of empty buildings, only to realize too late that in fact they’re not alone. The wall of water crashes down. Now the ocean that took the town is hungry and pulling in new victims. That’s what the movie is about.
Blood Flood
Directed by Various
So the chick on the cover who is very inappropriately Photoshopped is Morella, and she’s the host in this All-Night Spooktacular Dusk-to-Dawn Horror-thon, as the back cover describes it. Who is she? What the hell does she have to do with these movies? And why does she look so scared on that cover? Anyway, the movies in here are Grave of the Vampire, House of Evil, and Guru the Mad Monk. But you know you’re going to buy it because of the well-endowed Morella, right?
Cinderella (2006)
Directed by Man-dae Bong
Though the title doesn’t make a lot of sense (I seriously doubt even the dark fable that was the original Cinderella had anything to do with plastic surgery), the film itself is actually pretty good. Not your typical Asian horror movie, though it's nothing groundbreaking either. The story is about a girl whose mother is a well-renowned plastic surgeon. Suddenly her friends who have had work done by the mother start dying around her, and she’s forced to get to the bottom of a terrible family secret.
Dead & Deader (2006)
Directed by Patrick Dinhut
A former Superman one of the living dead? Only on the Sci Fi Channel, friends. Dean Cain starts in this bizarre movie about a beetle who carries a zombie virus (that’s a new one on us). He bites Cain, who’s so damn tough that he only becomes half zombie instead of full-on ghoul. Now he’s back in the U.S. and fighting all his former fellow soldiers, none of whom were tough enough to fight the infection the way he did and are now cannibalistic madmen.
