If you frequent the world wide web you've probably noticed The Hills Run Red reviews running rampant across countless sites. While it's a pretty kick ass flick I think it's important to remember it's not the only kick ass flick to hit shelves this week. Rather, this past Tuesday was a very significant day for the genre, as a whole load of quality flicks were unleashed on the public. So I took it upon myself to shed light on a few you may have missed.

First off, we'll take a look at the George Bessudo directed mind bender Farmhouse (see Scott Licina's lengthy review here), which totes a bit of a Dante's Inferno vibe.

The Asylum has been doing more non-mockbusters than usual of late so when I read about a film like Haunting of Winchester House, I instantly find myself wondering if this is another original or just their late-to-the-party Haunting of Connecticut mockbuster.

The premise centers on a family that moves into the Winchester House mansion to serve as caretakers and learn why the place has a reputation as one of the most haunted places in America after a malevolent force abducts their daughter.

I assume the film is based on this legendary haunted house in California. If so, I also assume many liberties will be taken.

Principal photography has begun on Haunting of Winchester House under direction of long-time Asylum inmate Mark Atkins, director of two recent Asylum dragon movies I haven't seen and Allan Quatermain & the Temple of Skulls, which I did see and will try not to hold against him.
