A fresh crop of new additions to the trailer park...

• The Haunting of Molly Hartley (pictured): A teenager realizes that her soul has been sold to the Devil. Sort of like Reaper without the laughs.
• Outlander: Jim Caviezel stars as a futuristic humanoid who crash lands on Earth during the Middle Ages and must battle the alien monster that escaped from his ship. Sort of like Lilo & Stitch with decapitations.
• Prey: A supernatural curse -- a Bloomin' Onion? -- strikes visitors to the Australian Outback.
• Quench: A young man reunites with his childhood friend, only to discover that he's joined a strange cult...the Claymates!
• Seed: Uwe Boll. That's the punchline.

Several intriguing new DVD release dates:

September 23:

• Mother of Tears: Dario Argento's final film in the "Three Mothers" trilogy gets released as part of the Dimension Extreme line.

October 7:

• The Happening: M. Night Shyamalan's latest didn't get good reviews, but it did solid business at the box office, earning around $65 million.
• Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer: This little indie showed at Slamdance 2008 and kept building buzz through a limited theatrical release.

October 21:

• Trailer Park of Terror: Another Slamdance '08 entry, this one about six troubled teens on their way back from camp who get stranded in an undead trailer park when their bus breaks down.

October 28:

• Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead: This Troma epic is so big that even the "making of" documentary, Poultry in Motion: Truth is Stranger Than Chicken, is receiving a limited theatrical run -- this weekend at DragonCon and September 5 in New York City at the Pioneer Theater (in a double feature with Poultrygeist).
• Red: This acclaimed thriller and Sundance '08 entry has some of the gritty neo-Western sensibility that made No Country for Old Men so popular.
• Shiver (Eskalofrio): In this Spanish outing, a lonely boy discovers that the woods near his new home contain a monster.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Woody Harrelson has signed on to star in an upcoming zombie-comedy movie entitled Zombieland. The plot is pretty vague so far: two people struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. Sounds hilarious! The writers and director attached have little to their name upon which to judge their credentials for this sort of film, but with Harrelson on board, it should be pretty decent. (Granted, that's what I thought about Kiefer Sutherland's involvement in Mirrors.)

This week's DVD releases are a seedy bunch, packed with sex, violence and, oddly enough, cannibalism. If sleazy exploitation is your cup of tea, then this is the week for you.
