The Final Patient (2005)
Directed by Jerry Mainardi
No one wants to grow old, that’s just a fact of life. The medications, the pain, the colostomy bags; it’s just a bad scene all around. So when a county doctor discovers the fountain of youth, quite accidentally, he chooses to keep the secrets it holds to himself. Two curious med students want to know just how the hell he stays so young, but discover the key to living forever is a lot more horrifying than simply growing old naturally...
Hannibal Rising (2007)
Directed by Peter Webber
Personally, this whole series lost me after Hannibal, which I thought was a surprisingly good sequel to Silence of the Lambs, despite the inherent love story. So when they discussed doing a prequel, which I saw as more money in the pockets of now one-trick pony author Thomas Harris, I wrote it off altogether. Seriously, who cares where Hannibal came from and why do we have to suddenly feel sympathetic toward him? Ridiculous.
Kill House (2006)
Directed by Beth Dewey
I don’t know about you, but finding out that there’s a serial killer out and about targeting only realtors would not surprise me in the least, especially out here in Massachusetts where it seems everyone is out to gouge you for every possible penny. I’m sure it’s no better in San Francisco, where Kill House takes place. The prime suspect in the deaths of a string of realtors is an ex-con hired by a property owner but when he’s captured and the killings just get worse, where do the police look next?
Legacy of Blood (2007)
Directed by Carl Monson
Is it just me or is this about the fifth time this film has shown up on our DVD lists? Seems like I’ve written about this plot more times than should be natural, but here goes; the story of Legacy of Blood involves a group of greedy relatives who gather at a deceased family member's home to collect on their inheritance, but things go horribly wrong thanks to their bottomless greed. Or something along those lines. It does have John Carradine in it, so it can’t be all bad!
