M. Night Shyamalan's enigmatic thriller The Happening seeks to rule the week at the theater, while on DVD, The Signal and Funny Games lead a busy slate of video releases.
The Happening
Director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs) delivers his first R-rated film with this tale of a plague of unknown origin killing people around the country. Mark Wahlberg is a teacher who seeks to find out what exactly is "happening".
The Amityville Horror: Double Take
With the avalanche of horror movie remakes in recent years, it makes sense that they would eventually bundle the originals with the remakes in two-disc sets. Now you can observe firsthand just how inadequate the modern versions are! OK, not all of the remakes are bad, but The Amityville Horror definitely is.
Black Wine

Fade
A man suffers from a fatal form of insomnia that prevents his body from shutting down, leading to a living nightmare of panic attacks, hallucinations and violence. Or, what happens when you drink Jolt.
Funny Games
This disturbing American version of the disturbing Austrian shocker is even more disturbing because it's a pointlessly shot-for-shot remake.
Grindhouse Double Feature: Bizarre & Deadly Perversions
This sleazy double feature will make you want to shower afterwards. First, Bizarre Lust of a Sexual Deviant follows a psycho around as he kidnaps and molests women. Then, in China White Serpentine, a man investigates the death of his brother, a junkie who was paid in drugs to perform sex acts on the Internet.
Human Lanterns
