Duncan's (Ken Marino) mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction. Out of ideas and at the end of his rope, Duncan seeks the help of a hypnotherapist, who helps him discover the root of his unusual stomach pain: a pint-sized demon living in his intestine that, triggered by excessive anxiety, forces its way out and slaughters the people who have caused Duncan stress. Out of fear that his intestinal gremlin may target its wrath on the wrong person, Duncan attempts to befriend it, naming it Milo and indulging it to keep its seemingly insatiable appetite at bay.

From Scream Factory comes Taxi Driver writer Paul Schrader's Cat People:
A remake of the 1942 Jacques Tourneur horror/noir classic, Cat People stars Nastassia Kinski as Irena, a beautiful young woman who discovers love for the first time only to find that the experience brings tragic consequences. The tremendous passion of this girl’s first romantic love is so strong, however, it bypasses the chaos around her – including the extraordinary demands of her brother (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange) – as it pushes her on to her own bizarre destiny. Written and Directed by Paul Schrader (Hardcore, American Gigolo, Affliction), this erotic fantasy about the passion and terror surrounding this first love also stars John Heard (C.H.U.D.), Annette O’Toole (48 Hrs.), Ruby Dee (Do The Right Thing) and Lynn Lowry (They Came From Within).

Also from Scream Factory is the ultimate in diabolism known as Die, Monster, Die!
Boris Karloff, the greatest horror star of all time, takes center stage in this “menagerie of horrors” (Motion Picture Daily) that “spins out shock after shock” (Boxoffice). Like a deadly potion bubbling with eerie mansions, secret experiments and a warning never to look in the basement, this is “pure haunted-house hokum all the way” (Los Angeles Times)!
An English scientist entertains a young American visitor, serving up tea, terror and a beautiful daughter – who is soon torn between her father’s evil ways and her need to protect the man she loves from a diabolical end.

If you like hot Japanese women dressed up like slutty superheroes (and who doesn't) Iron Girl should provide you with 80 minutes of entertainment:
"In a distant land and an unknown time, a small village is under
siege, terrorized by the brutal reign of the bandits known as the Crazy
Dogs. However, the legends of the village speak of an Iron Clad Savior,
one who shall come to the aid of the people and liberate them from the
forces of evil and oppression. So when brave young Anne is miraculously
rescued from a vicious bandit attack by a superhumanly strong heroine
in shining armor, she becomes convinced that this mysterious fighter
must be the figure from the prophecy. However, the woman known only as
Iron Girl has been cursed with amnesia, and not even she knows whether
she can actually defeat the Crazy Dogs. Not that the Dogs are about to
let any potential threat to their power stay alive. Prepare for a
battle royale as a full frontal assault of female fury tears into the
dogs of war in IRON GIRL!" Get it at Amazon
Black Water Vampire
A group of young documentary filmmakers set off to uncover the
true story behind the Black Water murders, a series of brutal killings
where women were found dumped in the woods, savagely slain, with their
mutilated bodies completely drained of blood. In an attempt to exonerate
the man accused of the crimes, they journey into the wilderness where
the deaths occurred and find themselves face to face with a form of evil
they could have never imagined. What began as a mission to save a
wrongly convicted man turns into a battle for their own lives.
If you're thinking about picking this one up, might I quote this hilarious 1-star review from Amazon:
"Unless you like terrible effects, and hearing an ugly chick say the F word for 80 mins. If you do, this is for you."
If that hasn't dissuaded you (the other reviews are actually positive), grab a copy now.
