Pierce Brosnan Will Satisfy Your ‘Urge!’
Has Lionsgate always been a major player in the straight-to-video action game and I’m just now catching wind of it, or is this a newer development? Whatever the case may be, I’m all for it. I sincerely love these type of movies. Now Urge looks more like thriller than action, but it has Hyde and a gray-haired Taffin and that’s good enough for me!
Synopsis:
An exotic vacation takes a dark turn in the suspense thriller Urge, arriving on Blu-ray (plus Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital), and Digital HD September 6 from Lionsgate. From producers of Crank and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Urge is currently available On Demand. Things get out of control when a group of friends try an experimental new drug in this insane thrill ride starring Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds), Ashley Greene (The Twilight Saga franchise), Alexis Knapp (Pitch Perfect), Bar Paly (Non-Stop), Chris Geere (After Earth), Nick Thune (Knocked Up), with Danny Masterson (TV’s “That ‘70s Show”) and Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye).
A group of friends take a lavish weekend getaway to an island where a mysterious club owner (Brosnan) introduces them to Urge, a new designer drug that allows them to live out their wildest fantasies. But what starts out as a fun night of partying soon takes a sinister turn when their primal impulses become uncontrollable.BLU-RAY/ DVD/ DIGITAL HD SPECIAL FEATURES*

Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
