The sun that shed light on the slaughter of a million animals has set - their devoured carcasses knawed down to the bones - the muscles dangle shredded, white flesh decomposes to gray - and the scent of rotting flesh lingers in the air. As our fatty tissues thicken, reach to the DVD player, and take in some more tales of horror as you awaken from the sleep of the gluttonous - from the amateur independant filmmaker to the mega-dollar hollywood productions... Here are the new DVD releases for the week of November 27th, 2005
Don't Go in the House (1980)
DVD Release Date: November 29, 2005

In a steel room built for revenge, they die - burning in chains... Released to theaters back in March 28, 1980, Don't Go In The House is a slasher film about a victim of child abuse who grows up to become a maniacal construction worker.

DVD Release Date: November 29, 2005
122 min
Starring: Michael J. Fox, Trini Alvarado, Peter Dobson
Directed by: Peter Jackson
Unrated
No rest for the wicked... Peter Jackson's witty and death ridden Michael J. Fox movie has returned from the dead in an unrated director's cut. It generally failed at the box office - on a budget of $30 million budget it grossed about $17 million in the US, $28 worldwide. A fun ghostbustery light horror flick nonetheless.

Gorgo (1961)
DVD Release Date: November 29, 2005
78 min
Starring: Bill Travers, William Sylvester, Vincent Winter
Directed by: Eugène Lourié
Rated R
Like nothing you've ever seen before! Now in widescreen "destruction" vision, comes 1961's Gorgo, hot on the heels of the recent wave of "monster-movie" rereleases. Gorgo is a 200 foot godzilla-like prehistoric creature that trashes London after some scientists capture one of its infants. Its a little faded from its glory, but Gorgo is a good saturday morning monster movie, especially for kids. DVD bonuses include:

Mangler Reborn (2005)
DVD Release Date: November 29, 2005
90 min
Starring: Reggie Bannister, Aimee Brooks, Weston Blakesley
Directed by: Matt Cunningham, Erik Gardner
Rated R for bloody violence/gore, language and brief nudity
The massacre continues... Ten years after the original massacre, another man obsessed over his machine leads to several murders. Special appearance by Reggie Bannister of Phantasm fame. Rumor has it, it's got some heavy gore and violence, but stretched thin amidst a weak plot. They pulled this off with a budget under $1 mil so its a crap-shoot. Click here to get it from Amazon.com
