It’s Monday, so we all know what that means! Yes, it’s time for another rundown of DVDs and Blu-ray’s hitting stores online and offline this week. It’s a very light week this week, so let us breakdown the new releases and highlight what you should – and shouldn’t – be buying from today, January 14th 2013.
Pick Of The Week
Dredd (DVD/Blu-ray)
The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One–a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban, The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge–a...

Vile
Stars: Eric Jay Beck, April Matson, Akeem Smith, Greg Cipes, Elisha Skorman, Heidi Mueller, Maya Hazen, Rob Kirkland | Written by Eric Jay Beck, Rob Kowsaluk | Directed by Taylor Sheridan
Ah, the torture-porn genre, how I’ve missed you. Not really. But it does seem that every year FrightFest manages to pull a new example of the genre out of the woodwork for the delictation of the baying horror-loving audience in attendance. Last year we had The Tortured, this year its Vile, And interestingly the two are not that disimilar…
Like many a horror film before it, Vile asks the age-old question: “How far would you go to stay alive?” In this case our eight protagonists, all of whom are kidnapped, have tubes attached to their brains and then locked in an abandoned house, are tasked with seeing how much pain and torture they can take, if it means living so see another day.

Candace Cameron Bure Talks The Heart of Christmas, on DVD today!
We know, it's not even Halloween yet, and we're already running our Christmas movie coverage. We're worse than the local Wal*Mart...But wait! It actually makes sense to release The Heart of Christmas in October, as the story takes place in the fall, as one heartbroken family hopes to give their dying son a final wish: One last Christmas! Based on a true story, the movie recounts how the family's community rallied around their son to make his wish come true. And it can be enjoyed today, tomorrow, or even on the 25th of December.
To celebrate the DVD release, with discs in stores now, we caught up with Candace Cameron Bure, one of the stars of this Dove Foundation approved tearjerker, to discuss how it came together, and what it might mean for your own family this holiday season.

Vile (World Premiere)
Directed by Taylor Sheridan
Written by Eric Jay Beck and Rob Kowsaluk
Starring Eric Jay Beck, April Matson, Akeem Smith,
USA, 2011
Vile was our late-night film on the second day of Frightfest this year and it claimed to be a hybrid of Cube, Saw and Hostel. But let’s make something clear, it has none of the verve or intellect of the former two titles and little of the polish of the latter. It’s merely yet another stupid, brain-dead, ugly little film where a bunch of people (mostly strangers) wake up in a room (which in this instance turns out to be a house) and they are forced to hurt each other in an attempt to win their freedom. There’s no twist here or extra-layer of invention, the bunch of unlikeable protagonists are all encumbered with a pair of tubes and vials that are attached...

As promised in our Event Report from this year's amazing as always Film4 FrightFest film fest in the UK, we're back with a full gallery of photos from the event taken by our man on the scene, Gareth aka Pestilence, along with a quartet of new reviews.
As you're no doubt aware from our past several years of covering the event, FrightFest is nothing if not eclectic, as evidenced by the films that are the subject of these four reviews from Gareth:
The Glass Man
Starring Andy Nyman, James Cosmo, Neve Campbell, Brett Allen
Directed by Cristian Solimeno
Martin Pyrite has lost his job. But instead of telling his wife, he continues his work routine and gets into enormous monetary difficulties. Then late one night a sinister debt collector bangs on his door with an offer – if Martin helps him carry out an important task, he’ll wipe the financial slate clean.

Sci-fi review and news site Quiet Earth has debuted the official trailer for Vile, which will show at the Film 4 Frightfest in London, England. Vile is partially based on the Milgram experiments, in which participants were encouraged to shock another volunteer (actually a confederate). Some people, when told to, will shock others to death. Thankfully, this experiment was only a simulation, but the trailer for Vile shows realistically that most of humanity will do almost anything to another e.g. torture, if instructed by a higher authority.
Vile will show at Film 4 Frightfest August 26th, 2011 and the trailer for director Taylor Sheridan's first film shocks below.
The synopsis for Vile is here:
"Fifty years ago Yale University professor Stanley Milgram held a series of social experiments based on Nazi war criminals’ psychology. They were devised to answer a simple question; how far are people willing to go when instructed by authority?...

Torture porn. People are still making these movies. Even more perplexing people are still watching these movies. Still, every now and again a good one comes around. Let's just hope the new flick from Taylor Sheridan, Vile, is one of the good ones.
Below you'll find the first stills and artwork from the flick which stars Eric Jay Beck, April Matson, and Akeem Smith. For more keep your eyes plucked out with a rusty pair of needle-nose pliers and then glued for the official Vile website, which should be launching soon. We'll update you once it's live.
Synopsis
Eight strangers wake up in a house. There is no way out of the house. The only way they can survive is to generate a drug that the human body only creates when it senses pain. A lot of pain.
