"Hearts don't just break... they get even." Perhaps more popular now than its initial release in 2001, and featuring one of the most memorable morgue scenes in any horror movie, Valentine (based on Tom Savage's novel of the same name) is coming to Blu-ray in February with a new Collector's Edition from Scream Factory, and the special features will include a new audio commentary with director Jamie Blanks and legendary filmmaker Don Coscarelli.
From the Press Release: "Revenge is sweet, just like Valentine’s Day chocolates. At least, that is what a vengeful, Cupid-masked killer thinks in the teen slasher Valentine. Making its Blu-ray debut February 12th, 2019 from Scream Factory, this Collector’s Edition of Valentine also includes a plethora of new bonus features, including an audio commentary with director Jamie Blanks and filmmaker Don Coscarelli moderated by author Peter Bracke, new interviews with actresses Denise Richards, Marley Shelton, Jessica Cauffiel,...

Among the many reasons Jay Ryan is thankful that The CW’s Beauty and the Beast earned a Season 2 pickup, a major one is that fans would be besides themselves come 9:55 pm Thursday — “hanged by the nails” is the way he puts it — given how the finale ends. Here, the actor reflects on the evolution of the Beast, talks us through the shooting of that scene, and teases the finale’s beast-on-beast action and “heartbreaking” aftermath.

Cinelinx gets the willies from the Love Me Blu-ray!
The Set-up
Sylvia (Lindsey Shaw) thinks she may have found the perfect boyfriend in Lucas (Jamie Johnston), but then discovers he is the lead suspect in the disappearance of schoolmate Melissa (Kristina Elliott).
Directed by: Rick Bota
The Delivery
Love Me is a slow-building romantic thriller that will appeal to tweens and teens that can't get their fill from the current WB TV schedule. Adults may find it a bit angsty, but it is entertaining enough to keep them interested in this high-school-whodunnit.
Lindsey Shaw plays Sylvia, a girl who doesn't date much, who meets Lucas (Jamie Johnston), a rebel who shares her taste in music. As the two grow closer, her friends all disapprove, driving a wedge between them.
Things get complicated when Lucas is named as the suspect in the disappearance of a local girl, and his past relationships raise suspicions.

The anxiety of socially competing with peers during high school, especially when it comes to finding the right person for the all-to-important first love and romantic relationship, can be challenging for many teens. That’s particularly true when numerous external forces, including jealous friends, or in worst case scenarios, a murder investigation, put a tremendous strain on the relationship. That’s certainly the case in the new thriller ‘Love Me,’ which is now available on Blu-ray and DVD and was helmed by experienced horror-thriller director Rick Bota. ‘Love Me’ chronicles the tribulations of discovering new teenage love, set against the backdrop of a town struggling to find the truth about a missing [ Read More ]

I had never seen Guillermo del Toro's Mimic until this past weekend when I watched the new Lionsgate Director's Cut Blu-ray. The film centers on Susan Tyler (Mira Sorvino), a scientist that genetically engineers a cockroach to kill off disease-carrying cockroaches that are killing New York City children. However, after the experiment proves successful the insects that were engineered to die off have lived on for three years and have grown much larger, some the size of humans.
The film was marred with production issues and ended up grossing just over $25 million on a budget of $28-30 million. It was critically dismissed and now Lionsgate has issued this brand new director's cut on Blu-ray complete with a brand new introductory prologue and audio commentary from del Toro exploring the pre-production and production turmoil he went through in an attempt to get the film made. And I have to tell you,...

What is it about female vampires that consistently earn them a stake through the heart on The Vampire Diaries? It’s almost as though the show is attempting to (or maybe unconsciously?) make a statement about women and power... Either way, it appears that The Vampire Diaries is hell bent on offering audiences these wonderfully colorful characters for the sole purpose of ripping them away from us in less than an episode or two.
As anyone who is watching The Vampire Diaries knows, the two female vampires I’m referring to are Vicki Donovan (yep, Damon turned her… because he was bored) and Lexi (guest appearance by Arielle Kebbel), a vampire friend of Stefan’s who arrives in Mystic Falls at the beginning of episode 1.08, “162 Candles”, to celebrate Stefan’s (Paul Wesley) 162nd birthday. Episode 1.07, “Haunted”, is Vicki’s (Kayla Ewell) time to shine. Although her schizophrenic mood swings and...

"162 Candles" Written By: Barbie Kligman & Gabrielle Stanton Directed By: Rick Bota Original Airdate: 5 November 2009 In This Episode… Stefan's oldest friend, Lexi, pops into town to visit Stefan on his 162nd birthday. Elena's first meeting with her is at the Salvatore house, Lexi wearing nothing but a towel. This does not sit well with either girl. Elena because she is jealous; Lexi because Elena is the spitting image of Catherine. Later on, at a party at The Grill, Lexi feels Elena's jealousy from across the room and goes to her, reassuring her that she and Stefan have never been romantic and telling her that she can see the true love...

At the rate the “Hellraiser” remake is hiring and losing directors during development, they mind as well hire one of the guys who directed the 30 or so direct-to-dvd “Hellraiser” sequels to do it. According to the blokes at Bloody-Disgusting, the remake’s latest attached director, Frenchie Pascal Laugier (who directed the cult hit “Martyrs”) has left the project. This, apparently, is coming from Clive Barker himself via the ever-popular Twitter. Says Bd: According to this Twitter account claiming to be the “real” Clive Barker, French director Pascal Laugier “is regrettably no longer on the Hellraiser remake.” This confirms reports that we’ve been hearing that Dimension Films was actively seeking a new writer. Okay, not nearly as concrete as we would have expected from the guys at Bd, who are usually very “in” on these horror movie news stuff. So, chalk this one up as “rumor”. Anyways, if it is true,...

The best thing you could say about the first season of ABC Studios and producer Stephen Bochco’s (NYPD Blue) production Raising the Bar is that it does exactly what it sets out do. Make no mistake about it, this is a by-the-numbers courtroom drama; another addition to an already overcrowded market of day and nighttime television that unfolds primarily in justice’s hallowed halls. Raising the Bar does manage to briefly distinguish itself on the strength of dialogue and production values, but it can’t avoid the sinking feeling that you’ve seen this all before. Nevertheless, there is a certain comfort to the atypical unpredictability the show brings to many of verdicts and the way the lives of the cast intersect.
Raising the Bar primarily revolves around Jerry Kellerman (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), a plainly idealistic public defender whose ruffled shirt and constantly undone tie should help identify him immediately.

"House on Haunted Hill" has plenty of trick 'n' treats in store for horror film fans and cinema buffs. This remake of William Castle's 1958 campy horror movie was not only produced by such filmmaker-fans as Robert Zemeckis and Joel Silver but co-produced by Castle's daughter Terry. The homage displays an affection for the scary tricks of Castle's old movies and enough modern twists for today's enthusiasts.
The best trick in the film is the casting of Geoffrey Rush. As was learned with "Mystery Men", Rush has the acting chops to anchor comic nonsense. Rush plays Stephen Price -- a tip of the hat to Vincent Price, who starred in the original film -- a malevolent billionaire theme park owner. As in the original, Stephen Price offers a substantial amount of money to a group of people if they can survive a night in a spooky mansion. (Interestingly, the amount has increased since 1958 to $1 million from $10,000.)
The twist here is that the night is also a birthday party for his wife, Evelyn (a cynical and sinister Famke Janssen), with whom he shares a love/hate relationship -- i.e., they love to hate one another. Price uses his theme park expertise to booby trap the house with all kinds of scary devices, and his wife has made her own plans to eliminate, once and for all, her troublesome husband.
What neither realize, of course, is that the joint is truly haunted. The house, once an insane asylum, is possessed by the spirits of those who suffered horrifying medical experiments at the hands of a demented doctor and his staff.
The house's owner (Chris Kattan), the grandson of the original owner, keeps insisting that everyone is going to die before the night is through. But the couple look on him as a mere party pooper. What puzzles them, though, are the guests. They are neither his nor hers. Who -- or what -- has selected this group of victims, er, guests? What links them together?
Eddie (Taye Diggs) is an ex-pro baseball player and Sara Ali Larter) is a former personal assistant pretending to be her ex-boss. Melissa (Bridgette Wilson) dreams of being a TV talk show host, while Dr. Blackburn (Peter Gallagher), curiously enough, doesn't appear to be on anyone's guest list.
Dick Beebe's clever script nicely builds ambiguity into all the big scares. Which are the fake chills and which are the real ones? And since several of the haunted house occupants have a trick or two up their sleeves, the audience isn't always certain if a character has truly died. Some get to die more than once.
Refusing to take themselves seriously, Beebe and director William Malone treat all their spooky effects with tongue-in-cheek humor. Malone has directed several episodes of "Tales From the Crypt" and the spirit of that TV show spills over into this fun-house flick. He never lingers on bloodiness, rather he relies on imagination instead of gross-out effects.
Visually, the picture is terrific. Production designer David Klassen creates a haunted house whose exterior borrows from the monolithic design of the 1930s, but whose interior is a maze of decrepit chambers, ancient machinery, rusted medical equipment and a blood bath.
Cinematographer Rick Bota's camera glides through these sets with a nimble ease, and the visual effects by Bob and Dennis Skotak give the house a life of its own.
