Night of the Living Dead 3D
Barb and her brother Johnny arrive late for the burial of their
aunt and walk straight into a nightmare! With zombies on their heels,
Barb flees the cemetery and is rescued by Ben, a local college student.
The two seek refuge in the nearby farmhouse of the Cooper family,
where the laid back residents aren’t remotely prepared to have their
lives turned into a horror movie. Barb is destined for an even grimmer
confrontation – with the dark secret of the pyrophobic mortician,
Gerard Tovar, Jr! DVD special features include commentary, “The making
of Night of the Living Dead 3D,” Q&A with filmmakers, “Filming in 3D – a behind the scenes look” and a theatrical trailer and TV spot.

Holla
Monica St. John, star of the popular sitcom “Baby Gurl,” and
six of her closest friends head for a weekend escape to Camp Diamond
Creek, a remote cabin in the mountains. Along the way, the gang spots
Troy, Monica’s boyfriend Dwayne’s ex-con cousin, hitch-hiking and
reluctantly picks him up. When they arrive at the cabin, Monica’s
agent appears uninvited, hoping to convince Monica to renew her
contract. During the night, a news story implicates Troy in connection
with a brutal murder. Dwayne tries to reassure the gang that though
Troy may be a thief, he isn’t capable of murder. Just as Dwayne
professes Troy’s innocence, the lights go out and bodies start
dropping. Is it Troy the ex-convict, Greg the agent, Dwayne the
boyfriend, or one of the “hater” friends? Any of them could be next!

Coakley, writer Camille Irons Coakley and actress Shelli Boone and

October 23
Fido
Years ago, the earth passed through a cloud of space dust,
causing the dead to rise with a craving for human flesh. A war began,
pitting the living against the dead. In the ensuing revolution, the
corporation ZomCon was created and defeated the legions of undead.
They domesticated them, making them our industrial workers and
servants – a productive part of society. ZomCon would like the people
of Willard to believe they have everything under control…but do they?
At least one person doesn’t think so.
ZomCon’s head of security has moved in across the street from
eleven-year-old Timmy Robinson, who is already a little suspicious of
this newly created world. Timmy’s Mom refuses to be the only housewife
on the block who doesn't have a zombie of her own. When she brings a
zombie servant home, Timmy discovers a new best friend and names him
Fido. Even though Dad has a bad case of zombie-phobia, Timmy is
determined to keep Fido, even if he does eat a random human every now
and then. Sometimes, it takes a dead man to teach us all what it means
to be alive. DVD special features include “The Making of FIDO” featurette,
audio commentary with director Andrew Currie, producer Mary Anne
Waterhouse and actress Carrie-Anne Moss, deleted scenes with optional
director audio commentary, storyboard, makeup and concept art
galleries, composer select scene audio commentary track and Zomcon
“Zombie Me” Creator exclusive DVD-Rom feature.
