TAKE A SURVIVAL QUIZ FOR A CHANCE AT A PURGE PRIZE-PACK!

The long-awaited sequel to "THE BINGE."

THE PURGE hits theaters this weekend and I for one am definitely planning on seeing this new home invasion flick. What's it all about? Well, in the not-too-distant future, to help bring the crime-rate down, each year a day is selected for the annual PURGE. All crime is totally legal for a 12-hour span, so you can finally realize your dreams of knocking off a liquor store, or murdering someone, or burning down a house filled with orphans and kittens. (Also, you can legally kidnap Nicholas Cage, have bees sting the sh*t out of his face, and then toss him in a giant Wicker Man and light it on fire!)

One particular family is more than ready for this terrifying night... until their daughter opens the doors to save a desperate man that arrives on their doorstep. This act of charity leads to a siege on the house by masked marauders who will stop at nothing to get inside. Will Ethan Hawke and Lena (Cersei from GAME OF THRONES) Headey survive the night?!

So what if a "purge" law was passed by our Congress and President; would you be able to survive the night? If you think so, prove it by taking the official PURGE SURVIVAL QUIZ:


But you don't have to take this quiz "just for fun," because I am giving you the chance to win a cool PURGE PRIZE-PACK from UNIVERSAL!

Coming to DVD & Blu-ray in May: Mama and ABCs of Death!

Next month, you can snap up either of these two major horror releases wherever movies are sold: The Guillermo del Toro produced MAMA comes to DVD and Blu-ray courtesy of Universal Home Video. I haven't seen it myself but it seems that most people liked it... until they saw the disappointing ending. Here's more info on the film and the specs on the DVD and Blu-ray:

From Academy Award® nominated actress Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty, The Help) comes the pulse-pounding tale of one mother’s twisted love in MAMA. Brought to life by Academy Award® nominee Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) and also starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (“Game of Thrones”), MAMA will be available on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on May 7, 2013 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Also available on Digital Download on April 23, 2013.

MAMA is the haunting tale of two little girls who vanish without a trace from their suburban neighborhood the day that their parents were killed. But when the young sisters are found alive years later in a decrepit cabin, their uncle (Coster-Waldau) and his girlfriend, Annabel (Chastain), take them in. As they try to introduce the children to a normal life, Annabel begins to wonder if the traumatized girls are the only guests they have welcomed into their home or if someone or something still wants to come tuck them in at night.

The Blu-ray™ Combo Pack allows fans to watch MAMA anytime, anywhere on the device of their choice. It includes a Blu-ray™ disc, a DVD, a Digital Copy and UltraViolet™ for the ultimate, complete viewing experience.

What?! They removed the baby from the cover art?!

Also coming out in May is "The ABCs of Death" (read my review HERE) which has built itself a sturdy cult May 21st, and features 26 short films from 26 different directors from around the world.
following. This (in my opinion) failed cinematic experiment is coming to DVD and Blu-ray through Magnet Releasing on

Here are the special features that both the DVD and Blu-ray releases will contain:

* 11(DVD)/14 (BR) Behind the Scenes, Making-ofs and Deleted Scenes.

* Filmmaker Commentary (Over 30 Filmmakers).

* BD-Live Feature Exclusive to Blu-ray – Additional Short Film Contest Submissions.

I'd probably pick it up for the making-ofs and commentaries alone, just to get some insight into why all of these filmmakers chose the topics and made the artistic decisions that were displayed in their final products. While I admittedly only enjoyed a handful of the short films (about six out of the twenty-six), I'd love to have some of my curiosity sated.

Also, not to be a stickler, but why was the baby photoshopped out of the cover art? That sort of propelled me to actively seek the movie out and watch it... now the artwork just looks... generic.

Once again, THE ABCS OF DEATH hits DVD and Blu-ray on May 21st. You can pre-order yourself a copy by clicking on the links below.
