Turistas (2006)
Directed by John Stockwell
Fox Atomic’s debut theatrical release was less than thrilling, but it sure looked pretty. And the bus thing at the beginning was pretty cool, right? Can’t really complain about Melissa George in a bikini for 90 minutes either. Well, I can’t. She could use a hamburger or two, though. The DVD has commentary, some deleted scenes and a featurette on the special effects (?).
Wilderness Survival for Girls (2004)
Directed by Eli B. Despres & Kim Roberts
In an interesting twist on the survival horror genre, three high school girls on a weekend getaway decide impulsively to take a big bad guy on their land captive. They’re then fueled by alcohol and desperation for a very long night with him and aim to make his life very uncomfortable. So why does the cover feature two girls being held captive in the woods if it’s actually a guy in ropes? Maybe because the image of girls tied up is hotter. Not that I’m a sicko or anything.
Zoo (2006)
