DARK SECRETS: MTI

When the daughter of top celebrity couple Darryl and Lori Van Dyke disappears, Detectives Farrell and Radcliffe are assigned to the high profile case. It looks like the work of the same serial kidnapper and murderer who has struck twice before, but all is not as it seems. There are no clues, no ransom note and no motive. Time is running out. Old and new demons haunt the case and the dark, dark secret at the heart of the mystery will bring terror to those that dare to search for the truth.

DEATH FACTORY: BLOODLETTING: Well Go USA

Ana Romero has lost all hope. Her daughter was tragically murdered and she is obsessed with finding the person responsible. When a video of her daughter s death surfaces on the internet, she tracks it to an underground website known only as the GOREHOUSE . She poses as an online trader of illegal video material in hopes of finding her daughter s killer. Her quest takes her into the bowels of humanity and immerses her in a dark and twisted world of degradation and pain. Her only mission, to find her daughter s killer and bring him to justice! She joins a group of online deviants who are invited to an abandoned factory to witness a “Bloodletting”, an event displaying the torture and murder of an innocent person. Once inside, they soon realize that they have been lured into a trap by a self-righteous madman, who uses the factory and its bloodthirsty inhabitant as his own personal version of Hell.

The quiet town of Quartz Hill is about to experience the worst night of the town’s history. A notorious killer has escaped from death row with one thought on his mind: revenge. Unaware of the danger, the Fontaine family continues with its normal routine. One by one, the killer stalks each family member that put him in jail. As he kills each victim, we gain insight into a man who is truly Disturbed.

DONKEY PUNCH: 6-Shooter/Magnolia

After meeting at a nightclub in a Mediterranean resort, seven young adults overindulge in champagne and ecstasy. Completely letting go of their inhibitions, they capture their wild partying aboard a luxury yacht on video camera.

The remaining members of the group argue about what to do, which leads to a ruthless fight for survival.

HOUSE: Lionsgate

Bestselling authors Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti transform their supernatural novel into the thrilling film House. The film follows Jack and Stephanie Singleton–a self-absorbed couple who get sidetracked on their way to a counseling session. After blowing out their tires, they find their way to the Wayside Inn, a ramshackle B &B where they meet an equally self-obsessed couple. The foursome quickly find themselves terrorized by a household of ghoulish servants and a masked lunatic, known as “The Tin Man”, who demands a dead body by sunrise. Their only way out, it seems, is to venture further in. But the deeper they go, the more horrifying the killer’s game and their night becomes.

MURDER IS LIKE SEX: HTM Films/Tempe

MURDER IS LIKE SEX is about the experiences of Kevin Wright — a guy looking for a solid, long-term relationship with the right woman. The story shows what he has to go through in his quest, including an unexpected and quite dangerous side effect from chronic masturbation! To make matters worse, the police have him pegged as the prime suspect in a recent murder investigation. So, does he get the girl and live happily ever after…?

SHUTTLE: Magnet/Magnolia

When two friends return from a girls weekend vacation in Mexico, they find themselves stranded at the airport. Trying to get home safely, they board an airport shuttle for the short trip.

SWAMP DEVIL: Genius

A young lady returns to her southern hometown to learn that her estranged father is in hiding, accused of murder in the swamps. But when the real culprit emerges, an inhuman, killing mass of mud and vines, more surprises emerge from the bog those of a town healer, of a secret buried years ago, and of the true identity of the vengeful Swamp Devil.

TOKYO ZOMBIE: Anchor Bay

Tadanobu Asano and Sho Ikawa star as full time slackers and wannabe ju-jitsu champions who bring the body of their murdered boxx to Tokyo’s towering toxic waste dump known as “Black Fuji”. But when an army of the undead rises from the massic trash peak, these bonehead buddies must survive a non-stop onslaught of hasty decapitations, pervert teachers, tasty snack foods, stormy romance and zombie professional wrestling. Can even the most devoted of friendships survive an apocalypse of the undead?

VINYAN: Sony Pictures (Tex’s Pick of the Week)

When someone dies a horrible death, their spirit becomes confused and angry. They become “Vinyan”. A couple leaves the civilized world behind and descends into a living nightmare in this chilling horror thriller. Six months after losing her only child in the Southeast Asia tsunami, Jeanne is convinced she sees him in a film about orphans living in the jungles of Burma. While her husband is worried that she’s losing her mind, he still agrees to take her to search for their son together.
