Friday the 13th, Part VII - The New Blood
by John Carl Buechler
from Paramount
A philosophical quandary: when we truly get a glimpse behind the mask, do we like what we see? This eternal question is directly addressed in chapter 7 of the famed Friday the 13th gross-out series. Here, indestructible killing machine Jason meets his match in the form of a telekinetic teenage girl. Yes, it's "Carrie Goes Camping," although the young lady with special powers might have picked a better vacation spot than Crystal Lake, which has an awful track record for young blondes in tight jeans. This installment is exactly no better or worse than the previous Jason-o-ramas, with the added bonus of a climax in which the imperturbable Mr. Voorhees actually duels someone with supernatural gifts to rival his own. Yes, he does lose his hockey mask (the heroine mind-wills it to pop off), and the results ain't pretty--but then, neither is the Friday the 13th franchise. --Robert Horton

from IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT
"There's no place to hide when the evil is inside! Tony Todd (Clive Barker's Candyman, Final Destination 2) is Dr. Henry Jekyll in this blood-drenched, modern adaptation of the macabre classic. Part crime thriller, part psychological horror, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde takes Robert Louis Stevenson's sinister story to chilling new depths as Mr. Hyde leaves a grisly trail while terrorizing local college co-eds. With the police bearing down on him, Mr. Hyde attacks Henry's fiancee in the demented denouement of this twisted tale that must be seen to be believed!"
A Light in the Forest
by John Carl Buechler
from Allumination
Britta, the new kid at Highland High, has reason to rejoice this Christmas: her sadness has summond Holly Boy, the very spirit of the season, awakening him from the stony sleep imposed by the dark elf, King Otto. This sets in motion an earthly as well as unearthly fight which rages simultaneously: Young Britta must face her fears and perform a death-defying aerial act in the school's Christmas Pageant, while Holly Boy battles the forces of evil, both battles fought in order to save the school and the Holly Woods. In the end, it's not just a fight for a scholarship award or the woods by the school, it's a fight for Christmas and all the Good Will and Glat Tidings that the season stands for.
