Shrieker (DVD)
When a group of young, nubile skeptics attempt to summon a demon--the Shrieker, that is--they get exactly what they asked for, as the misshapen mal engine returns to the earth. But the summoners are in for a deadly surprise, as the rules dictate that five must die--and the sixth will become the demon`s new master.R"

Signs (DVD)
It`s contaminated. That`s what pint-sized Bo (Abigail Breslin) says about every glass of water that she tries to drink, then rejects. This is just one in a long list of strange occurrences that are changing the lives of the Hess family. Things go awry when Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) and his brother, Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix), awake early one morning to find the dogs barking and the children--Bo, and her brother Morgan (Rory Culkin)--wandering bleary eyed in the corn fields. They discover a pattern of perfectly carved crop circles left the night before. Trying not to overreact, Graham ignores the media frenzy that has permeated all television and radio stations, and even shrugs off the oddly familiar information that Morgan reads in his book about extraterrestrials invading earth. The real challenge for Graham is to find the faith he needs to pull himself, and his family, through this unexplainable series of events.
SIGNS is the long-anticipated film from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan (THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE), a suspenseful and uniquely chilling family story.PG-13"

Strange Things Happen at Sundown (DVD)
Teeming with vampires of every stripe and scads of beautiful, barely-dressed women, STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN AT SUNDOWN delivers an unparalleled tongue-in-cheek gorefest. Set in the dismal anonymity of New York City, a powerful, mysterious woman with unclear motives hunts a group of vampires. Her targets include several vampires who work as hit men for extra cash, vampire lovers on the run from the police, a born-again Christian trying to convert vampires, and a vampire housewife who has a taste for virgin girls. This flick has something for most every horror fan, but because of the mature content, parental guidance is suggested.NR"
