New Horror Releases in Theaters and on DVD: Week of April 13, 2008

A new pathology intern (Milo Ventimiglia) discovers that his fellow interns at the hospital are playing a deadly game after hours with the goal of committing the perfect murder.

Picking up where Alien vs. Predator left off, an Alien-Predator hybrid ("Predalien") aboard the Predator ship leaving Earth causes it to crash land in a small Colorado town, spilling Aliens everywhere. A Predator from the home planet (Predatopia?) receives the distress signal and comes to save the day. For some reason, he doesn't bring backup.

No doubt we all know the story of the first The Curse of Lizzie Borden...Oh wait, no we don't. It seems that the first one concerned a woman named Cassie who went on an axe rampage, thinking that she was famed murderer Lizzie Borden. Now, in this sequel, Cassie is locked away in the loony bin but manages to escape and once again goes on a killing spree, this time ending up at a high school prom.

If you thought that the Loch Ness Monster was a peaceful creature who just wants to be left alone, this Sci Fi Channel offering might change your mind. It's carnivorous, it has a bad attitude and it just had babies.

A college student looking for a little extra credit from her science professor unwittingly becomes a guinea pig in his experiments that fuse her DNA with that of a snake. Let's hope she doesn't run into his mongoose woman.

The producer of The Ring, The Grudge and Dark Water and the director of Pulse and Cure team up for something completely new and different for Japanese horror: a murder mystery featuring a pale, long-haired female ghost! OK, maybe it's not so new and different (although this time she's wearing a red dress), but that doesn't mean it's not good.
