Horrorfest: Films To Die For

[dawsey28]

I'm new here, so sorry if this thread has already been done. (I cannot seem to get the search function to work, for some reason.)

Anyway, 7 of the 9 movies are coming to DVD on March 27th. I'm thinking of getting the boxset.

1. DARK RIDE
Starring: Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Patrick Renna
Director: Craig Singer

When a group of road-trippin' college kids discover an old, abandoned amusement park where two young girls were brutally murdered a decade ago, they decide it would be good fun to stay the night and spook each other out. Drunken hijinks turn to dread when they learn that the killer has returned- and escape is out of the question.

2. THE GRAVEDANCERS
Cast: Clare Kramer, Dominic Purcell, Josie Moran
Director: Mike Mendez

After more than a decade, a group of college friends are brought together for the funeral of one of their own. The trio tie one on for old times' sake, paying last respects to their departed friend and dancing drunkenly through the cemetery. They find a strange card among the tombstones and read the written incantation aloud, unknowingly conjuring hostile spirits that would torment them long after they've gone back to their daily lives. Torment and confusion turn to outright terror as the three old friends discover exactly what they've unleashed.

3. PENNY DREADFUL
Cast: Rachel Miner, Mimi Rogers, Michael Berryman, Mickey Jones
Director: Richard Brandes

Hoping to overcome her fears, a young woman named Penny sets off on a road trip with her therapist, Orianna, to revisit the scene of a terrible accident many years ago that killed her parents before her eyes. Along their way, a struggle ensues over Penny's attempts to calm herself by self-medicating, and in the confusion the duo hit a man in the road. Seeing that he isn't badly injured, they offer to give the stranger a lift, but his creepy silence is unsettling and downright scary, as is the off-road path they take to his destination. Penny and Orianna drop the man off, happy to part ways with their new companion- but their night is just getting started. Car trouble begins less than a mile from where they leave him, and it's not long before Penny finds herself trapped, alone and hunted by a madman.

4. REINCARNATION
Director: Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge, Ju-On)

Director Ikuo Matsumara sets out to film the story of a ghastly 1970's killing frenzy in a hotel north of Tokyo, using the actual hotel where the murders took place. When shooting gets underway, the cast members begin to share the fates of the characters they're playing, and soon enough there is no role-playing or pretending; the fear, and the danger, are quite real.

5. THE HAMILTONS
Cast: Cory Knauf, Samuel Child, Joseph McKelkeer, Mackenzie Firgens
Director: The Butcher Brothers

To the outside world, the Hamiltons appear to be nice ordinary folk; four siblings starting a new life after the recent death of their parents. They're kind to their neighbors, involved in the community- but things aren't quite what they appear to be; the new family in town seems to have a habit of brutally killing the townspeople they've recently befriended. When the youngest sibling, Francis, discovers the truth about his family, he is faced with the ultimate choice: turn in those he is closest to in all the world and spare the next victims, or join his family in their gruesome killing spree.

6. UNREST
Cast: Cory Knauf, Samuel Child, Joseph McKelkeer, Mackenzie Firgens
Director: The Butcher Brothers

Aspiring physician Alison Blanchard's feels a disturbing presence in the lab where she's studying cadavers for her Gross Anatomy class. Her professor brushes off her concerns as jitters, but there's something unsettling about one cadaver in particular; an American woman who died in Brazil and whose body was donated to science. When her friend is discovered dead in the basement, Alison finds herself in a desperate search for the truth behind the angry spirit killing off those around her- before it's too late.

7. WICKED LITTLE THINGS
Cast: Lori Heuring, Scout Taylor Compton, Geoffrey Lewis, Velizar Biney
Director: J.S. Cardone (The Forsaken)

In 1913, a tragic mining accident trapped dozens of children underground, burying them alive. After her husband's death, Karen Tunny moves daughters Sarah and Emma to a remote, dilapidated house off in the mountains for a fresh start. However, she is unaware that their new home is very close to the site of the old mine tragedy. The family soon find themselves living a nightmare as the undead children return from the mine and wreak havoc on them.

They come out on DVD March 27th.

I haven't seen them,but they look really good!If the boxset is under $200. I'll buy it!:)

[dawsey28]

Thank you Posher778. That definately helped.

Paws the great:
The boxset is $150 where I live, but I'm not sure if that price is the same everywhere.

(Might be a better idea to rent all 7 movies. It would be cheaper.)

If you try and find what stores or rental places they coming to on March 27th, though.

A tip: Most places that I went to they were listed as AFTER DARK HORRORFEST: FILMS TO DIE FOR.

Or AFTERDARK, then the name of the movie. (i.e. AFTER DARK: DARK RIDE)

[Posher778]

Sure thing.


I haven't seen any of them yet, I really want to see GraveDancers and Darkride

Sure thing.

Darkride I really enjoyed. It reminded me of Black Christmas (Remake) just better. Gravedancers was decent as well. Nothing special but it actually had a few scares.
