Recommended The Movie: Made two years after the seminal Re-Animator and once again produced by Charles Band and Empire Pictures, Stuart Gordon's Dolls is part horror movie, part black comedy and part fairy tale and while it does tend to lean towards the clich s often associated with horror films, that doesn't diminish the film's entertainment value.

Recommended The Movie: Previously released on DVD by Media Blasters/Shriek Show, Rino Di Silvestro's notorious Werewolf Woman (alternately known in domestically as The Legend Of The Wolf Woman ) lives again, now on Blu-ray courtesy of Raro Video.

Recommended The Movie: Set in a Japan recently ravaged by a powerful Tsunami, Sion Sono's 2011 picture Himizu takes place in a country that has essentially lost a war, not with another country, but with mother nature. Large portions of the populace have lost their homes and in tents and while what's left of the army and police forces do what they can to maintain law and order, as it stands the …
