Black Death Blu-Ray Review

In 1348, England is devastated by the Bubonic plague which spreads death across the lands and villages.

The Selling Review (A Second Opinion)

The Selling is a horror/comedy that focuses on a too-honest real estate agent promptly named Richard Scarry (“like the children’s book author”), who is tasked with selling a haunted house. Watching this film reminded me of the older films like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken or The Burbs, delightfully blending some good scares with equally good laughs. The creative story allows the filmmakers to poke fun at both horror films and the real estate business. A fantastic cast, a good sense of humor, and fun direction make this one of the better horror/comedy in the past decade along with Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell.

After the release of the new film, Dimension Films was hoping to launch into the next two installments. Unfortunately, E! Online is reporting that Scream 4 failed because it is a sequel and not because of the quality of the film.
