The Matrimony
Taking cues from Hitchcock’s 40s classic Rebecca and set in Bejing in the 1930s, this Chinese-language supernatural drama follows the fateful love triangle of the wealthy and terse Junchu (Leon Lai), his bashful, blushing bride Sansan (Rene Liu), and his vengeful dead fiancée, Manli (Fan Bingbing).
In The Spider’s Web
In The Spider’s Web is part of the result of a 10-picture deal struck by RHI Entertainment and The Sci-Fi Channel – their horror-happy titles include Grizzly Rage, Maneater, Eye of the Beast, and one other monster movie coming to disc today: Blood Monkey, starring Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham.
Monster Island
This deliberately campy MTV production uses fake-looking science fiction creatures to drum up some laughs in a typical teenage horror flick. MONSTER ISLAND features the adventures of six 20-somethings that win a trip to a Bermuda resort.
Elizabeth Hurley in Method
Being declared one of the sexiest women in film history by Empire magazine would be a title which many actresses would find difficult to live up to, but Elizabeth Hurley was unlike most of the models-turned-movie stars that preceded her. Not only blessed with high cheek bones and a curvy physique, she was also blessed with a sharp business sense, innate intelligence, as well as an almost supernatural ability to remain poised in the face of ugly controversies. These scandals would come fast in furious, including the infamous arrest of her then-boyfriend, actor Hugh Grant, for soliciting a prostitute, followed a few years later with an ugly paternity suit against millionaire Stephen Bing over the birth of their child in 2001. Despite these high profile setbacks, Hurley remained a popular model with her years-long contract with Estee Lauder, as well as maintained a modest career as an actress and producer, most notably starring as Vanessa Kensington, the knockout agent paired with Mike Meyers in “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” (1997).

Day Watch Trailer
This is going to some of the sickest effects we have seen come to movie screens. Check out this trailer. You won’t believe your eyes.
Synopsis – A horror tale set in contemporary Moscow that revolves around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness–the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides.
Drive Thru Review
A few minutes into Drive-Thru , the 2007 horror-comedy effort by directors Brendan Cowles and Shane Kuhn, I said to myself (or possibly I said it out loud), “Aww yeah! Looks like Avril and the Pussycats versus a Killer Klown from Outer Space! Let the Unholy Rumble commence!” It could have been goofy fun. Too bad the rest of the movie didn’t live up to that potential.
Whisper 2007 Official Trailer
When the ten-year-old son, David, (Blake Woodruff) of a wealthy New England socialite is abducted, his kidnapper Max Harper (Josh Holloway) and his seedy associates assume it will be a routine kidnapping in exchange for a large ransom. Unknown to the kidnappers, the shy and reserved David actually has a hidden agenda of his own, and a mysterious way of tapping into the minds of others. Soon, Max will wish that he had never kidnapped David, much less even heard of him.
