Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Julianne Moore

The Julianne Moore-Jonathan Rhys-Meyers thriller Shelter was released around the world in 2010 and 2011 and was initially slated for release in the US in February 2011, but it’s since languished in Distribution Hell — perhaps because it lacks big bankable stars, perhaps because it’s not full of flashy special effects, perhaps because the studio just didn’t like it. But two years later, The Weinstein Company — or more specifically, its Radius TWC label — has added it to the release slate, under a new, slightly less generic name: 6 Souls. The movie, in which Moore stars as a skeptical psychiatrist who takes on a new patient who challenges her disbelief in multiple personalities, will finally open in a limited number of theaters on April 5 and will be available on demand starting March 1.

It remains to be seen how well The Last Exorcism Part II can adjust from the “found footage” style of The Last Exorcism to a more traditional storytelling format, but what doesn’t remain to be seen is this batch of new photos from the sequel, which includes a spankin’ new poster. The Last Exorcism Part II hits theaters on March 1.

As the title implies, Would You Rather revolves around a demented version of the party game Would You Rather, because Pictionary would just be silly. Read about it in my review of Would You Rather.

Its title is silly, and the movie itself isn’t much better. After all, there’s a reason why it’s being released is less than a dozen theaters and on demand. Read about it in my review of The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia.
