E1 Entertainment just sent out a list of its upcoming DVD releases for early February, 2010, and front and center on it is cult director David DeCoteau's The Brotherhood V: Alumni. As the tagline says, "The Brotherhood returns, and this time revenge will be sweet!"

Here's the synopsis provided by E1 for this latest release in DeCoteau's horror franchise:

A year after a mean-spirited prom prank turned deadly, the most popular students of Sunnydale High are summoned back for a surprise reunion only to find themselves at the mercy of a relentless killer. Maria Aceves (Lily and the Syphon), Preston Davis (The Prankster), Lindsay Landers (Touched) and Nathan Parsons (“General Hospital”, Teeth) star in this direct-to-dvd release, which also includes a bonus behind-the-scenes featurette.

The DVD streets on February 9th. If you're a fan of the series or just curious as to what it's all about, pre-order your copy from EvilShop below.

• First Look has set a February 2 street date for Triangle, the latest film from Creep and Severance director Christopher Smith. The movie will be issued on DVD in both a limited edition with lenticular packaging (left image below) and a standard edition (right image below, which will also appear on a Blu-ray release).

Triangle stars 30 Days Of Night’s Melissa George (pictured) as a woman who goes on a yachting trip with a group of friends that is interrupted by a storm in the Bermuda Triangle. They are forced to board a passing ocean liner which appears to be deserted—but of course, it’s actually inhabited by someone who starts bumping the group off. The movie will be presented in widescreen with 5.1 Digital Surround sound, plus cast and crew interviews. Retail price is $28.98 for each DVD and $29.98 for the Blu-ray; see our advance review of Triangle here.
