THE MOVIE<\/strong> \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Devour<\/em><\/strong> (2005)
\n<\/strong>For months, Jake Gray (JENSEN ACKLES) has been haunted by disturbing premonitions of murder and self-mutilation he can\u2019t explain, until two high school friends, Dakota (DOMINIQUE SWAIN) and Conrad (TEACH GRANT), introduce him to a mysterious online computer game called The Pathway. Suddenly, Jake\u2019s violent visions are brought to life as the game begins transforming his terrifying daydreams into gruesome reality.<\/p>\n

The Plague<\/em><\/strong> (2006)
\n<\/strong>Ten years have passed since the world\u2019s children fell into a coma. Tonight they\u2019re waking up and all hell is breaking loose. An unholy battle between the generations is being waged, and time is not on the side of the adults.<\/p>\n

Wind Chill<\/em><\/strong> (2007)
\n<\/strong>Desperate to get home for Christmas, a college student (EMILY BLUNT) catches a ride with a strange classmate (ASHTON HOLMES). As soon as she realizes he knows a little too much about her, the stranger decides to take a shortcut down a remote country road. Caught in a raging snowstorm, the young travelers are suddenly forced off the road by a mysterious car. Stranded, they soon realize the cold is the last of their worries.<\/p>\n

Insanitarium <\/em><\/strong>(2008)
\n<\/strong>A devoted brother (JESSE METCALFE) gets more than he bargained for when he takes the rap for his criminally inclined sister (KIELE SANCHEZ) and gets placed in the care of a doctor (PETER STORMARE) who\u2019s using his patients as guinea pigs for a terrifying new drug. Upon being administered a dose of the experimental medication, the test subjects transform into violent, flesh-eating psychopaths.<\/p>\n

Vinyan<\/em><\/strong> (2008)
\n<\/strong>A couple (EMMANUELLE BEART, RUFUS SEWELL) is looking for their child who was lost in the 2004 tsunami. Their search takes them to the dangerous Thai-Burmese waters and then into the jungle, where they face unknown but horrifying dangers.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.0\/5 | AUDIO \u2014 3.0\/5
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Each movie comes with a standard anamorphic widescreen aspect ratios (1.78\/1.85\/2.35\/2.40) and given they are dark horror movies, it\u2019s nothing that looks brilliant but should be adequate enough. Disappointingly, the films only have a basic Dolby Digital 2.0 tracks even though a few of these had individual releases with 5.1 channels. Dialogue and the score tended to sound just fine but the depth of course was lacking.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, this 5-movie collection release, Possessed by Evil<\/em><\/strong>, is a bargain-bin fodder from Mill Creek. If you don\u2019t own a couple of these titles, it might be worth picking up given the cheap SRP, just don\u2019t expect too much.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
