Deep in the Florida Everglades, something is alive that should have died eons ago. Something is feeding when it should be full. Something is moving, in ways that seem all but impossible to pursuers. It's moving in the dark...under the surface of the waters…with an appetite that makes no distinction between man and beast. Now it's up to an unlikely band of locals, an animal control officer, a small-town sheriff and a scientist’s team of college youth to stop the threat...before it's too late.
I've made it no secret that I hate CGI. But when I say I hate CGI, i'm mostly referring to bad CGI in good movies. When it comes to bad CGI in bad movies, I can't seem to get enough it (ie : Shark Attack 3). Give me a really awful movie with a totally CG'ed killer sea monster and i'm in heaven. Judging by THIS trailer, that's precisely what Razortooth is going to provide and that's precisely why I will be checking it out.

& Blu-ray
I wouldn't call myself the biggest fan of the Friday remake, but I certaintly enjoyed it and will definetly be picking it up the day it comes out. I have a feeling this extended cut is going to be a lot better and more complete than the one we all saw in theatres. From what i've heard, it's supposed to be essentially a whole different movie and I can't wait to check it out.
If these two releases look as good as Part 1 did on Blu, then we're all in for a real treat. I'll be honest though, i'm kinda over the whole Blu-ray thing, especially when it comes to older releases. Standard def DVD upconverted on PS3 is good enough quality for me and most of these release don't even look all that much different to me in high def. Am I alone on this opinion? I'm not saying i'm never gonna buy another Blu-ray again, i'm just saying that it's not really worth the extra cost for me when it comes to most movies.

I'm getting kind of tired of Friday the 13th special features as they all tend to be the same and I pretty much know all there is to know about all of the movies at this point (thanks in large part to the great book Crystal Lake Memories), but I will DEFINETLY be picking up Final Chapter for the Adam Green/Joe Lynch commentary alone. It's my favorite in the franchise and I love those two guys and cannot wait to watch it with them!

A group of hobgoblins, who allow you to live out your fantasies but kill you in the process, escape from a studio vault and a security guard and his friends must stop them before dawn.
I've never seen this Gremlins ripoff from 1988 that Mystery Science Theatre made infamous but I wanted to mention it because I think it's so cool that they decided to stick with original VHS looking art for once on a DVD release. That's something I wish we could see more of as there really is nothing better than old school VHS horror art. Is that enough for me to want to seek this one out? Why yes, yes it is. It was released on an individual DVD aside from the MST box set release but that disc has been discontinued so it's also cool to see it getting another solo release. The brand new never before seen Hobgoblins 2
will also come out on this date, with equally enticing VHS'y art.
The series stars Fred Grandy as Walt, a criminology student working as a night watchman in a wax museum. To pass the time, Walt builds a prototype "Crime Computer" in a mummy case near an exhibit of legendary monsters. When Walt plugs in his Crime Computer, "oscillating vibrations" bring to life the wax statues of Dracula, the Werewolf, and Frankenstein. The monsters, wanting to make up for the misdeeds of their pasts, become superhero crimefighters who use their unique abilities to challenge and defeat various supervillains.
I had never even heard about this series until just now but it came out in 1976 so one can assume The Monster Squad, the flick, was loosely based off of it. I'm a big fan of the movie and this sounds like a fun little show that's definetly going on my Netflix queue. Has anyone seen this?

I share your love for VHS box covers. And based on the cover (and the fact that it's a rerelease of an Italian exploitation flick) I'm looking forward to Island of the Fishmen on June 30!
I won't be getting any FT13 on blu, but I'll probably give them a rent. I just don't want to pay around $20 for a 20+ year old horror film ya know. Regardless of quality.
