A look at what's new on DVD today:
"Bitter Feast"
Directed by Joe Maggio
Released by Mpi Home Video
When a food critic ("Humpday"'s Justin Leonard) takes a butcher knife to the restaurant of a celebrity chef (James LeGros), the chef plots the ultimate revenge in this gory satirical thriller from director Joe Maggio. (My review from the Los Angeles Film Festival is here.)
"Case 39"
Directed by Christian Alvart
Released by Paramount
2010 is probably a year best forgotten by Renee Zellweger, who not only appeared in the execrable "My Own Love Song," which went straight to Netflix, but also this thriller that was filmed in 2006, but didn't see a release until last fall. Zellweger stars as a social worker whose latest case involving a child (Jodelle Ferland) that she believes is a victim of abuse leads to something far more terrifying. Bradley Cooper and Ian McShane co-star.

Whoa, what a way to start the new year! After several weeks of desolate conditions in terms of horror title releases, the floodgate just burst open.
This is the week you may want to think about using up those giftcards and cash you got from returning your holiday presents. Major releases are vying for your greenbacks alongside re-releases in Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D (in case Santa brought you a 3D TV recently), and other more independent titles. In addition to movies, there's also a Buffy motion comic and the next volume of a vampire's diary in paperback.
The Last Exorcism (Review)
Directed by Daniel Stamm
Starring Patrick Fabian (Interview), Ashley Bell, Louis Herthum, Tony Bentley
When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine “exorcism” on a disturbed religious fanatic. An earnest fundamentalist, Sweetzer has contacted the charismatic preacher as a last resort,...

Established 1974! Our news column climbs a new treehouse.

The best thing about this weekend is, of course, the annual Treehouse Of Horror episode of The Simpsons (pictured). Believe it or don’t—this is the 20th Anniversary episode—and airs Sunday, 8 p.m. Est on Fox. This all-new chapter includes an Alfred Hitchcock parody, zombies and more. It’s preceded at 7:30 p.m. by a rerun of last season’s Treehouse (#19). Also on Fox, The Cleveland Show (8:30 p.m.) premieres “Birth of a Salesman” and American Dad (9:30 p.m.) debuts “Brains, Brains & Automobiles.” In between (at 9 p.m.), it’s a rerun of Family Guy, but o what a rerun! It’s the Stephen King anthology “Three Kings” (with guest voice work by George Wendt, Richard Dreyfuss and the late Roy Scheider). The specific King tales being spoofed are The Shawshank Redemption, Misery and The Body/Stand By Me.

No, Jaws of the Mississippi is not the title of a recently discovered Mark Twain manuscript that pits Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin in a life-or-death battle with a Great White shark ("We're gonna need a bigger raft!"). It is, however, the title of a new killer shark movie involving a radioactive Great White prowling the freshwaters of the Mississippi River.
Yes, a radioactive shark, but not of the glowing atomic age monster variety, in case you're expecting something truly outlandish. I'll let the Active Entertainment plot synopsis explain the premise:
"A massive hurricane devastates the Gulf of Mexico, with it a Us government’s top-secret anti-bioterrorism facility. When one of its highly radioactive chemicals spills into the ocean, it triggers mutations in a great white shark, enabling its adaptation to survive in freshwater. As this shark wreaks havoc on local Mississippi River towns, it poses the additional risk of...

Written by Leigh Scott and directed by Griff Furst, Wolvesbayne is simply a rocking film that is fun to watch and leaves you wanting more. The movie combines elements of Underworld, Scott.s own Dracula.s Curse, and Wanted. The mix gives you an action horror film that goes for the throat from the start and doesn.t let up until the credits roll. Wolvesbayne stars Jeremy London, Christy Carlson Romano, Yancy Butler, Mark Dacascos, Rhett Giles, Kristen Quintrall, and Justin Jones. The film is pretty much a .by the numbers. thriller that follows Russel Bayne (London) . who is bitten by a werewolf and quickly finds himself in the middle of a supernatural war between vampires, werewolves, and human hunters.

Last month we got a first look at the trailer for Bullet Films' adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich Horror starring Jeffrey Combs. Now we've got the trailers for three more Bullet Films productions featuring werewolves, vampires, the potential end of the world, and rednecks battling robots.
The one you might be most interested in is Wolvesbayne, which I first told you about back in July. Jeremy London ("Party of Five") stars as a newly transformed werewolf recruited by a team of vampire hunters to stop a Nazi vampire cult led Yancy Butler ("Witchblade") and Marc Dacascos (Brotherhood of the Wolf).
Wolfsbayne was directed by Griff Furst (I Am Omega, 100 Million BC) from a script by Leigh Scott (Transmorphers, Bram Stoker's Dracula's Curse). Dig the trailer below:
