With The Crazies in theaters nationwide and H1N1, bird flu, mad cow disease, SARS and all manner of modern epidemics flying around the place, this seems like an appropriate time to count down the best horror movies featuring infections, viruses, diseases, parasites and all manner of illnesses — except for zombie plagues, which have their own list all to themselves. Grab some Purell and enjoy.

Every year, there seems to be a bit of a lull in major theatrical horror releases between March and May, and this week marks the beginning of Lull 2010. This week is particularly light, with few home video releases of note — mainly the ’80s supernatural action/horror film The Wraith — in addition to the lack of new theatrical films.
New This Week: The Wraith and…Um, Yeah, That’s Pretty Much It originally appeared on About.com Horror & Suspense on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 03:20:36.

A year after it was originally scheduled for release, the thriller Possession — starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) — is finally coming out on home video, on March 9. The film is a remake of the Korean movie Addicted, about a woman who fears that her comatose husband’s spirit is inhabiting his brother’s body. Check out the trailer, some photos and video clips to pique your interest.
Other recently announced DVD dates include: The Lovely Bones (April 20) and Transylmania (April 27).

OK, I’ll go ahead and say it: I think that the Crazies remake is better than the original. Not by a whole lot, and I’m not saying that it’s a great movie, but at least it’s very entertaining. Read about what it does well — and not so well — in my review of The Crazies.

With recent big-budget horror/suspense films like The Wolfman and Shutter Island hitting theaters, it got me thinking about horror movies with great actors that somehow ended up stinking anyway. Thankfully, neither The Wolfman nor Shutter Island stink, but these 15 certainly do, despite their stellar cats.

Originally aiming for a release around — when else? — Mother’s Day of this year, the remake of the cult exploitation film Mother’s Day has been pushed to “TBD” status, according to director Darren Lynn Bousman. Unlike recent delays to Priest, The Roommate, Underworld 4, Piranha 3-D and Season of the Witch, Mother’s Day was independently financed and thus hasn’t been sold to a distributor, so any initial release plans were more hope than reality anyway.
