Good Boy - DVD

Plagued by a lung ailment, Todd (Shane Jensen) thought it best to move to the country, and the rural cabin of his late grandfather (Larry Fessenden)-and he went in the sole company of Indy (Indy), the Tolling Retriever he's had since a pup. As Todd's condition worsens, Indy senses that there may be a malevolent force stalking his master... one that the loyal canine may not be able to shield him from. Remarkable dog's-eye-view haunted house opus co-stars Arielle Friedman, Stuart Rudin. 73 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Mia (Camille Sullivan) had been unable to move on in the dozen years since the party led by her paranormal podcaster kid sister Riley (Sarah Durn) ventured into the creepy abandoned town of Shelby Oaks... and Riley's weren't among the grisly remains that were found afterward. Tipped to a potential break in the case, she may regret the choice to check it out firsthand. Chris Stuckmann's reverential scarefest co-stars Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, Michael Beach, Robin Bartlett. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

The latest and most outrageous in a wave of UK comic horror films like Shaun of the Dead, Doghouse is a raucous, balls-out funny spin on male insecurity over their own masculinity and vengeful women. A group of guys (including Danny Dyer of the Football Factory and Severance and Stephen Graham of Snatch and Public Enemies) head off for a boys weekend to buck up a friend still depressed over a painful divorce. Unfortunately, they end up in an isolated town infected with a bio-weapon that has turned all the women into the man-hating monsters the lads always suspected women were at heart. The guys spend less time bonding and a lot more time fleeing from hairdressers, nurses, schoolgirls and other iconic female figures all looking to snip away with scissors and swords and literally do what the guys have been fearing for years. Deftly satirical, witty and just bloody good fun, Doghouse is the most original battle of the sexes in years.
