New Horror Releases in Theaters and on DVD: Week of Jan. 6, 2008

What's Coming Out This Week?

By Mark H. Harris, About.com

No new theatrical releases this week, but a ton on video, including a couple of direct-to-video sequels of theatrical hits.

Addiction

© Brain Damage Films
After accidentally killing a mugger, a man finds that he's become addicted to murder. Unfortunately, there's no patch for that.

Beastly Boyz: A Twisted Tale of Revenge

© Ariztical Entertainment
Gay horror auteur David DeCoteau's latest offering finds a young, attractive and frequently shirtless man seeking revenge for the death of his twin sister.

Boogeyman 2

© Sony Pictures
Tobin Bell of Saw fame stars in this straight-to-video sequel about a woman who checks into a mental hospital to cure her fear of the Boogeyman. Her bedwetting, however, is another issue.

Days of Darkness

© Lions Gate Entertainment
A comet strikes Earth, setting it on fire and creating a horde of flesh-eating zombies in its wake. I wish I'd paid more attention in astronomy class.

The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Rock 'n Roll Musical

© Elite Entertainment
In the vein of The Rocky Horror Picture Show comes this horror musical that's a little bit campy, a little bit rock 'n roll.

Dragon Wars

© Sony Pictures
This hit South Korean special effects extravaganza finds ancient dragons waging war in modern Los Angeles. It can't be worse than the Godzilla remake, can it?

The Expedition

© New Blood Entertainment
Supposedly culled from footage taken at a haunted asylum on a night in which one of the filmmakers met his maker, could this be Blair Witch 3?

Joshua

© 20th Century Fox
A couple begins to suspect that their son might be evil -- not in a Damien, son of Satan sort of way, but in a might-kill-his-baby sister sort of way. Think Macaulay Culkin in The Good Son.

The Killing Floor

© Velocity/Thinkfilm
A horror novel agent becomes involved in a horror story of his own when he moves into an eerie apartment that may have been the site of a bloody murder. Even when he begins to receive videotapes of himself sleeping, he refuses to move out, because, well, that would make for an awfully short movie.

Mammoth

© Starz/Anchor Bay
A meteor strikes a museum, unleashing a frozen mammoth in this lighthearted Sci Fi Channel romp that's like Night at the Museum meets Night of the Living Dead.
