New Horror/Suspense Releases in Theaters and on DVD: Week of July 15, 2012

Not to be confused with the recent John Landis dark comedy of the same name, this 1972 film (of which the Landis movie was a remake) tells a somewhat bawdier version of the real-life story of two down-on-their-luck stiffs who make money by selling corpses to a local Scottish medical school -- an arrangement that soon leads to murder.

In this found-footage fare, fake ghost hunters preparing to stage a haunting at a spooky old mansion end up encountering something terrifyingly real.

Though no one can see him, Hollow Face lurks in the corners, desperately desiring love but only knowing how to spread fear and hate. He creeps into the life of John Farrow after Farrow's beloved 13-year-old daughter Mia is assaulted in their home. The line between the real and the imaginary blurs as fissures start to open within the family unit. It seems that no security measure can keep Hollow Face out.

The original Cold War-era classic tale of aliens impersonating humans has been remade three times -- in 1978 (Invasion of the Body Snatchers), 1993 (Body Snatchers) and 2007 (The Invasion) -- not counting the lame 2007 mockbuster Invasion of the Pod People.

Trailer
