2. New DVD and HD arrivals

(BOOK NOW) 30 Days of Night - Josh Harnett (The Black Dahlia, Pearl Harbor) crosses over to the dark side in this bone-chilling adaptation of the cult-hit graphic novel, brought to the screen in all its demonic glory. In a small Alaskan town, thirty days of night is a natural phenomenon. Very few outsiders visit, until a band of bloodthirsty, deathly pale vampires mark their arrival by savagely attacking sled dogs. But soon they find there are much more satisfying thirst-quenchers about: human beings. One by one, the townspeople succumb to a living nightmare, but a small group survives - at least for now. The vampires use the dark to their advantage, and surviving this cold hell is a game of cat and mouse - and screams.

(BOOK NOW) Angels Fall - As the sole survivor of a massacre at the Boston restaurant where she was a chef, it's no wonder Reece Gilmore (Heather Locklear) wants to escape her life. She hits the open road with no destination in mind, desperate for a fresh start. When her car gives out in a picturesque Wyoming town, Reece takes a job at the local diner, hoping to earn enough cash to keep moving. But as she gets to know the townspeople - especially a dashing young writer named Brody (Jonathan Schaech) - she considers putting the past behind her and settling down, until she witnesses a murder while hiking. Now she's traumatized again, and not just by the killing; when the cops investigate, there is absolutely no evidence of the murder, and everyone doubts her story - which leads Reece to question her own sanity.

(BOOK NOW) Apartment Zero - Set in Buenos Aires, Adrian LeDuc (Colin Firth) is a lonely sociopath, forced to rent his insane mother’s room to Jack Carney (Hart Bochner).
