Notable DVD Releases This Week: April 28, 2009

The Terminators (2009)
Asylum pictures take on robots fighting humans in the future. Features former hunky 7th heaven star Jeremy London.

Never Surrender (2009)

Classic tale of outsiders being stalked by locals, and then being eaten.








End of the Line (2006)
A small group gets trapped on a subway car with crazed religious zealots who must sacrifice non-belovers as they approach the apocalypse. Favorite press quote: "Does for subways, what Jaws did for oceans"





One Eyed Monster (2008)
In a comic homage to Alien and The Thing , the cast and crew of an adult film, stranded in a blizzard, must band together against a mysterious and deadly alien, which has possessed the actor with the biggest part Ron Jeremy (naturally). Now, with the monster on a killing spree, the race is on to trap and destroy it before there are more victims of its peculiar skills.



War Gods Collection, 4-disc set
Epic battles, beefcake and beautiful babes await in this definitive sword and sandal film collection! See stars Gordon Scott, Richard Harrison and Howard Duff fight for justice in 1960s-style Ancient Rome; and delight in the fantastical sci-fi special effects of these amazing films, helmed by the likes of James Bond director Terence Young and Francis Ford Coppola (back when he was one of Roger Corman's humble assistants!).


Revenge of the Crusader (1964)










Deadly Sweet (1967)
A French actor finds his business contact lying murdered on the floor. Rather than call the police, he decides to protect the young woman at the scene and nail down the true killers, which puts him on a collision course with the London underworld. A cult classic!
