It is a rare thing when you find one good movie that goes directly to DVD, let alone two, but how about six? I started watching Lionsgate’s DVD release of 6 FILMS TO KEEP YOU AWAKE, which is now available at a retailer near you, and have been blown away thus far. I highly recommend checking it out, so much so that I dug up the trailer for you guys, which you can check out over at BDTV. Six chilling tales from the best horror directors from Spain comes a 3-disc DVD set – 6 FILMS TO KEEP YOU AWAKE. The compilation features the terrifying films THE BABY’S ROOM, directed by Alex de la Iglesia (COMMON WEALTH), XMAS TALE, directed by Paco Plaza (WEREWOLF HUNTER), A REAL FRIEND, directed by Enrique Urbizu (BOX 507), TO LET, directed by Jaume Balaguero (THE DARK), SPECTRE, directed by Mateo Gil and THE BLAME, directed by Narciso Ibanez Serrador (1-2-3). Special bonus features include a “Making Of” featurette for each of the six films.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
