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.

The Caretaker is a direct-to-video slasher that boasts a couple of notable names — Jennifer Tilly and Judd Nelson — but does little else, like generate thrills, come up with a cohesive story or create characters we care about. In other words, it’s terrible. I mean, the killer is a grapefruit farmer, for goodness’ sake. Read about it in my review of The Caretaker.

Anchor Bay has made a name for itself over the years for releasing cult horror movies on video, but the company has recently jumped headlong into theatrical releases — albeit on a limited scale. While Anchor Bay’s Frozen currently chills in theaters, three more acquisitions were recently announced by the distributor:
- I Spit on Your Grave: A remake of the notorious (and often banned) 1978 rape-and-revenge tale, with a little-known cast and a director (Steven R. Monroe) who’s mostly done forgettable direct-to-video and SyFy fare (It Waits, Ogre, Sasquatch Mountain, Left in Darkness), although he did helm the solid ensemble flick House of 9. Anchor Bay plans on releasing the remake in theaters in the fall, with a home video release in the first quarter of 2011.
