Aiming to outdo the 2007 original, which reportedly had a budget of $45, this faux snuff film sequel supposedly was made for a cool $20. ("Sorry, we can't afford KFC. Here's a Twinkie.")

In the midst of political riots in Paris, a group of robbers run for the border and end up staying in a backwoods inn run by cannibalistic neo-Nazis. It's the feel-good movie of the year!

Untraceable

Untraceable DVD© Sony
An FBI agent specializing in cybercrime (Diane Lane) must stop a serial killer who films murders for his website. The catch: the more people who visit the site, the quicker the victim dies. So, it's sort of like Speed...in reverse...with a computer...and -- OK, it's nothing like Speed.
