Paranormal Activity 2 (Tod Williams, 2010) - the follow-up to what I would consider the best horror film of the new millennium, and one that I would consider superior to its predecessor.
Format: DVD - the only perks to shelling out the extra cash for the Blu-ray version, aside from the negligible difference in audio/visual quality, are the DVD and Digital Copy of the film that accompany it. The only special feature, running just shy of four minutes long, is a reel of deleted scenes. While this release, like the original film, is practically bare-bones, it is one I cannot recommend enough.
I Spit on Your Grave (Steven R. Monroe, 2010) - a remake of the cult classic 1978 exploitation film about a woman who seeks revenge on a group of men who beat and rape her and leave her for dead. I have yet to see this new take myself, but the trailers left me with the impression that it might be one of the rare remakes that is at least worth checking out.
Format: DVD - once again, the extras here are the same as you will find on the Blu-ray disc, minus a Digital Copy of the film.
(Also worth noting is that the original 1978 film was re-released today as well, on both DVD and - for the first time - on Blu-ray.
Wild Target (Jonathan Lynn, 2010) - a comedy starring Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, and Rupert Grint about an assassin named Victor (Nighy) who decides to spare Rose, a woman he has been hired to kill (Blunt). Joined by a would-be apprentice Tony (Grint), Victor attempts to protect Rose (and himself) from the wrath of his dissatisfied client.
Format: DVD - like the two above, the Blu-ray is void of exclusive features.
And that would be all for this week; not a whole lot in the way of worthwhile releases.
