'Land Shark' Swims Its Way Onto DVD This May

‘Land Shark’ Swims Its Way Onto DVD This May

ITN Distribution is unleashing their new Chinese creature feature, Land Shark, about, you guessed it, a shark that roams the land looking for its next meal this May. The cheesy “mockbuster” looks to be a cross of Deep Blue Sea and Tremors and features a ton of really bad CGI. So if you’re looking for some mindless fun, this movie’s for you. In Land Shark, “A scientific group attempting to genetically modify a shark creates a destructive deadly machine, that even they can’t control. After breaking free from captivity, this new predator goes on a rampage looking for its favorite meal…humans.” Directed by Cheng Si-Yu and starring ‎Luo Li-Qun, Xi Mei-Li, and Tang Xin, Land Shark swims onto DVD on May 10, 2022.

Movie Review: The Exorcism Of God Is Something New And Scary

Movie Review: The Exorcism Of God Is Something New And Scary

I’ve seen at least a hundred exorcism movies, and they were all pretty much the same, and the majority were just plain terrible, always featuring the same recycled ideas shuffled around to try and make a plot look new. When I sat down to watch The exorcism of God I just assumed it would be another low-budget trash version of The Exorcist (no offense). What I got, was shock, it was a new twist on the supernatural that left me impressed. I should probably tell you a little about it before we go any further. In the film, from director Alejandro Hidalgo, who co-wrote The Exorcism of God along with Santiago Fernández Calvete, comes the story of a priest, Father Williams, who while conducting his first exorcism briefly became possessed and did something terrible. He has spent his life trying to find forgiveness within himself while striving to be the best priest he can be. His life seems ideal until

When Angela returns home to their North Dublin estate the following evening without explanation, it becomes clear to Char and her grandmother, Rita, that something is amiss. She might look and sound the same, but Angela’s behavior has become increasingly erratic and frightening as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force.
