A bad seed with a Russian accent, 9-year-old Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman) is a nasty little girl with a nasty little plan. Unfortunately, this malevolent tyke has landed in the home of adoptive parents Kate and John (Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard), an unsuspecting couple with two kids of their own and considerable grief over recent family tragedies. It doesn't take long for Esther to make her creepy presence known, as broken limbs on the playground and torched tree houses can attest. Give this movie some credit--the psychological underpinnings are all set carefully in place: Maternal trauma? Check. Backyard pond as emotionally charged danger zone? Check. Feminist parable about husbands not listening to troubled wives? Check. The casting of reputable actors such as Farmiga and Sarsgaard also ups the movie's class quotient; Farmiga in particular has an emotional workout, and this gifted actress strikes few false notes even as the scenario becomes increasingly lurid. (There's some déjà vu here: Farmiga also played a mother realizing her kid was "not right" in Joshua, a much superior film.) Director Jaume Collet-Serra, of House of Wax notoriety, knows full well the unsettling weirdness of seeing a child commit murderous mayhem, and he presses all the buttons with something like unholy joy. The movie begins to drive off the rails even before a clumsy twist hits the fan near the end, and at that point, the mechanical exercise becomes downright silly.

The vicious, deviant sex-starved Nazi heavies of this 1970’s filth-fest give cold-blooded SS officers a bad name! Three whimpering frauleins and one male are rounded up for interrogation by a horny, Ilsa-esque she-bitch and her hairy, ape-like assistant Karl, who hope to secure vital information about a local resistance fighter. What better way to persuade this unfortunate foursome to talk than to force upon them cruel and perverse acts of sexual degradation and torture. The Commandant, a seething, rage-filled bull-dyke in trashy make-up, cut-rate Nazi uniform and go-go boots, has an insatiable penchant for violating the female body. When she’s not inflicting atrocities upon the innocent young hotties, she turns them over to Karl, whose methods of interrogation include cramming his over-sized bratwurst into every unwilling orifice. Each victim is subjected to the demented pleasures of these Third Reich monsters…who delight in their acts of sexual domination…who thrill to the infliction of suffering and pain.

Produced by George A. Romero after the success of CREEPSHOW, this 1980s anthology series boasted a shocking tale every week. Unnerving synth lines and bare-bones production values were hallmarks ... Full Descriptionof the syndicated program, which tended toward supernatural plotlines but reluctantly admitted sci-fi and comedy into its uncanny netherworld. Frequently, its material came adapted from horror's most popular authors, including Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Harlan Ellison. And, in TWILIGHT ZONE fashion, it relished throwing a cruel twist at its characters by every episode's end. This collection presents the show’s complete second season, which drew both established names (Phyllis Diller, Connie Stevens, and Abe Vigoda) and then up-and-coming stars (Marcia Cross and Seth Green) to tell its tales of horror and humor.

This big-screen adaptation of Land of the Lost stars Will Ferrell as Dr. Rick Marshall, a quantum paleontologist who has been discredited in the scientific world due to his strident belief in time travel as the cure for all of humanity's problems. After hitting an all-time low, giving a lecture to elementary school kids, Dr. Marshall meets an ambitious young scientist named Holly (Anna Friel), who tells him she has followed all his work and believes he's a genius. Spurred on by her enthusiasm, he finishes building the device that will allow him to time travel -- something he promptly does along with Holly, and white-trash fireworks salesman Will (Danny McBride), after Will leads them into a cave that seems like a promising place to test the new machine. They end up in a world full of dinosaurs, sand, and scary lizard-like creatures known as Sleestacks. They quickly lose the machine that brought them to this alternate universe, and if they ever want to return home, the trio must recover it with the help of Chaka (Jorma Taccone), the monkey-like friend they make in this strange place.
