There's a frightening number of fall horror DVDs coming out the closer we get to Halloween. I've compiled a sampling in no particular order of just some of the many, many new releases coming soon to a DVD shelf near you in September and October.
Genius Entertainment will release Never Cry Werewolf (review) on September 16th. Originally premiering on the Sci-Fi Channel back in May, Nina Dobrev ("Degrassi: The Next Generation") stars as a young woman who requires the help of a slightly inept TV hunting show host Kevin Sorbo ("Hercules: The Legendary Journeys") in dealing with the werewolf who just moved in next door. To say that the film is derivative of Fright Night would be an understatement. Fortunately, it's actually not all that bad. You can find out more by reading my review, the one I accidentally submitted the uncorrected version of with all manner of typos and

I had to pay to see Saw IV, after Lionsgate deemed it not necessary for critics to watch their Halloween tradition anymore. And frankly, I didn't hate it. I give the Saw series a lot of credit for its overall inventiveness, although I also understand the arguments on the other side that say the films are too gory. Gore doesn't bother me, though, and clearly, it doesn't bother Jigsaw (Tobin Bell).
Now, if you're up to speed on your Saw storylines, Jigsaw ain't breathin' right now. I mean, if you've seen the Jfk autopsy photos...it's a lot like that. But the new poster for Saw V makes it appear as though all the king's horses and all the king's men have indeed put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
According to the IMDb synopsis, the new Jigsaw is Hoffman (Costas Mandylor), which is certainly the impression we were left with after IV.
