Posted by About Horror & Suspense on July 12, 2009

August 4:

• Nature’s Grave: This remake of the ’70s nature-gone-amok film Long Weekend has been renamed Nature’s Grave for some reason and is going straight to video. At least it still stars Jim Caviezel.

August 18:

• The Last House on the Left: A passable remake of the Wes Craven exploitation movie.

September 8:

• Fringe: The Complete First Season It’s the 21st century X-Files, with slightly more narrative cohesion (so far).
• Harper’s Island: The Complete Series: Experience this enjoyable TV show in one sitting, like a 13-hour slasher movie.

September 15:

• Fear Itself: The Complete First Season: We never got to see the last few episodes of this NBC horror anthology last year (thanks a lot, Olympics), but now you can get ’em all in one set.
• Grace: After her unborn child dies, a woman insists on carrying the baby to term. When she delivers, the child miraculously returns to life — with a taste for human blood.

September 22:

• Book of Blood: Based on a Clive Barker story, this film involves a bogus psychic who fakes messages from the dead but discovers to his dismay that the dead have notoriously poor senses of humor.

October 6:

• It’s Alive: More killer babies! This one is a remake of the ’70s cult fave about a mutant baby that kills when it’s scared.
