Wardriver - BLU-RAY

Weber was at the forefront of the rise of German Romantic opera and sought to dethrone Rossini from his position as the leading operatic composer in Europe. In his breakthrough and most popular opera Der Freischütz ('The Marksman') composed in 1821, he succeeded in his aim of establishing a truly German form. Turning to the folklore and folk songs of his native land he took a story of a marksman who makes a pact with the Devil, vesting it with powerful intensity - not least in the famous Wolf's Glen scene - and an astonishing control of orchestral color and atmosphere.

This lean, morally anxious thriller drops a small-time hacker into a labyrinth of guilt and desperation. Dane DeHaan stars as Cole, whose easy criminal routine collapses after a coerced theft ties an innocent woman to organized crime. Directed with urban tension and forward momentum, the film builds it's suspense around responsibility rather than bravado. Sasha Calle and Jeffrey Donovan co-star. A quiet but gripping race against time. Region free.

Debut for both director scott spiegel (evil dead ii) and producer lawrence bender (reservoir dogs, from dusk till dawn), and featuring ted and sam raimi (spider-man, evil dead, army of darkness), intruders is a must-see for slasher film fans. A grocery store night shift should be pretty easy. A handful of customers, shelving new stock, maybe even time for some fooling around. But tonight is different - somebody else is stalking the store - and they are out for blood. And the body count keeps growing.
