Before long, a violent supernatural\nforce begins targeting the group. They must find out the origin of the strange\nbeing in order to escape with their lives. This independent horror\/comedy has\nbeen available to stream on Screambox for a few months and is now arriving on\ndisc. Only a handful of genre critics have reviewed the picture so far, and\ntheir reaction has been mixed\/positive. One write-up commented that while the\nmovie was well-produced, the story and scares fell flat. The others suggested\nthat the plot was unoriginal, but that those willing to look the other way in\nregards to the story issues would enjoy the references and plays on famous\ngenre tropes, having a good time in the process. It stars Chloe Cherry, Lena\nRedford, Bambina and Simon Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE CONTAINMENT\u2013 After her father dies tragically, a\ngrieving, young teenager in Arkansas has trouble moving on with her life. Soon,\nthe girl\u2019s behavior changes and it becomes clear that she has been possessed by\na demonic entity. The family calls the church and everyone attempts to exorcize\nthe sinister spirit, discovering dark family secrets along the way. This\nindependent chiller has been making the rounds in various countries over the\npast year or two. Not many reviewers in this part of the world have seen the\nmovie, and few have been impressed. One noted that while it followed genre\nconventions to a fault, every so often it presented an interesting twist on the\nformulaic elements. But most noted that this was a clear and blatant rip-off of\nThe Exorcist<\/em> that failed to offer surprises or any thrills. For now,\nthis is a DVD-only release. It features Isabel Aerenlund, Gia Hunter, Darren\nClarke and Fernanda Romero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are always drawbacks to being granted their\nheart\u2019s desire, and the pair ultimately have to figure out how to best use\ntheir wishes. This UK\/India\/US coo-production received a limited release in\nNorth America. The press was more positive than negative about the movie. A few\nfound the story overstuffed and wanted wilder and more inventive visuals in the\nfilm. But more stated that, while it had a few slow spots, there were some\nwonderful images and catchy musical numbers. They felt that young family\nmembers would be entertained. For now, this is a DVD-only release. The voice\ncast includes Helena Bonham Carter, Ewan McGregor, Asa Butterfield, Mel Brooks,\nJessica Henwick, Alisha Weir and Terry Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME \u2013 This sequel to the 2019\nhorror\/comedy hit Ready or Not<\/em> picks up immediately after the close of\nthe first film.

She finds herself kidnapped with her estranged sister\nand left in the middle of a new fracas concerning four equally villainous\nfamilies. The various groups state that one of them will become the most\npowerful family in the world when they eliminate the pair. The two protagonists\nfight back to make sure that doesn\u2019t occur. This effort received good notices,\nalthough the write-ups weren\u2019t quite as strong as for the original. One-quarter\nof critics critiqued the film for being bigger in scale, but not better\nstory-wise. They found the events depicted too familiar to the original and\ngrew tired of the numerous battles. Still, the consensus was that this picture\nwas highly amusing. Most believed that there were wonderful and darkly funny\nmoments, and that the performers were all excellent in their roles. Samara\nWeaving, Kathryn Newton, Elija Wood, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sean Hatosy and\nDavid Cronenberg headline the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCREAM 7 \u2013 The latest chapter in this long-running horror\nseries sees the original film\u2019s star returning after vanishing from the\nprevious sequel.

In fact, the mysterious figure even claims to be one of the\noriginal killers. The lead, her daughter, as well as friends and old\nacquaintances attempt to identify the murderer before they all become victims.\nThis effort didn\u2019t impress reviewers, but it was a massive hit and now stands\nas the highest grossing entry in the franchise. One-third thought that, while\nthe picture and series was becoming overly familiar, it did deliver sharp\ndialogue, as well as a number of gruesome and darkly humorous thrills. However,\nthe majority felt this was one chapter too many, with little of the sharp\nhorror satire or tension that previous entries possessed. You can pick up the\nmovie as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo, 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Steelbook, or\nan Amazon exclusive 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray \u201cLimited Edition\u201d Giftset.

SHARK TERROR \u2013 As many direct-to-disc and streaming genre\nfilm fans will already know, The Asylum is a low-budget production house\nresponsible for titles that are knock-offs of big studio movies like Snakes\non a Train<\/em> and The Da Vinci Treasure<\/em>, as well as the Sharknado<\/em>\ncable movie series. Their latest effort follows a young woman vacationing with\nher mother on a cruise ship. After some bickering, the lead heads to the\npromenade deck, accidentally encounters some criminals, and falls overboard\nwith them. She and the villains end up injured and stranded on a remote island\nsurrounded by hungry sharks. The young lady must fend off the dangerous fishes\nwhile waiting for her mom to find and rescue her. So far, the picture has only\nbeen released to streaming platforms in Europe. Reviews haven\u2019t been kind,\nsuggesting that this effort actually tries to be a more serious effort, but\nthat the final result is dull and uninteresting. Right now, this is a DVD-only\ntitle. It features Sarah Leiving, Carly Medina, Javier Duran, Joe Maria\nFernandez and Michael Par\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of his first tasks involves visiting a retirement village and\nescorting a group of seniors on their trip to Las Vegas. Things initially\nprogress smoothly, until old enemies reappear ready to enact revenge. The hero\nmust not only protect himself, but the seniors in his care as they are chased\nthrough casinos and other tourist traps. This independent action\/comedy\npremiered recently on streaming services and is now getting a DVD-only release.\nReaction towards the picture has been poor among the limited number of\nreviewers who have seen it. They call the film a waste of the talented cast,\nfeaturing a bland script with predictable gags and little in the way of tension\nor excitement. Michael Jai White, Dave Sheridan, Colleen Camp and Billy Zane\nheadline the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE \u2013 This sequel to the 2023 animated family film smash The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/em> follows the further adventures of plumbers Mario and Luigi. This time out, a princess living in a faraway galaxy is kidnapped by the son of the sinister Bowser. The heroes venture into space with their new dinosaur friend Yoshi in order to help save the hostage. Princess Peach also heads out to save the day, and discovers a connection between herself and the victim. The movie was another big hit for the studio, but the press generally disliked it. Admittedly, close to half of them liked the visuals and called the film a colorful and exciting adventure that would please gamers with its references to popular Mario Bros. video games. However, the majority called the movie hollow, with barely a story. They didn\u2019t care for the new characters and thought adults would have a difficult time sitting through it. The picture is available as a \u201cCollector\u2019s Edition\u201d 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray, as well as 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Steelbook, a \u201cCollector\u2019s Edition\u201d Blu-ray only, and a Walmart exclusive 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray box.

YOU, ME & TUSCANY \u2013 This romantic-comedy involves a young American woman who has given up on her dreams of becoming a chef. Instead, she spends her time working as a house sitter, often pretending to be living the lives of her employers. One night, she meets a charming Italian man in a bar, who reignites her desire to become a chef. She travels to Tuscany, Italy, and sneaks into the empty home of the man from the bar. When his family unexpectedly arrives out of the blue, the lead pretends that she is his fianc\u00e9. The relatives welcome her, including the man\u2019s cousin, who begins showing her around and eventually develops feelings for her. This picture earned reasonable reviews from critics. About one-third complained that it was written and looked like a TV-movie, with preposterous plot elements and little excitement generated from the main characters. Still, the consensus was this was an old-fashioned but entertaining romance with a likable cast that provided pretty scenery and some laughs. It features Halle Bailey, Reg\u00e9-Jean Page, Marco Calvani, Aziza Scott, Nia Vardalos and Isabella Ferrari. Read this site’s review of the film here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
