 A truck driving father heads out on a run at a most inconvenient time when his wife happens to be on the brink of a mental breakdown. With three children and a young baby, " Mommy Dearest" is left to deal with her life of isolation on her own. If you can't handle mothers killing babies, do not watch this movie. BABY BLUES features a plotline of post-partum depression that starts out uber-realistic in showing the mothers' psychotic breakdown. It's "delivery" is so tense and scary that I honestly have not been this frightened in a movie for a long time.
 While the 1990’s offered few great Vampire films, there were a good fistful of entertaining, and enjoyable contributions. One of which, was helmed by Master of Macabre John Carpenter. Carpenter, who has made a reputation by creating outlandish, and often over-the-top genre pieces rounded up a fitting cast to once again, pull no punches.
 Four months prior to Christmas, Sarah (Alysson Paradis) and Matthieu Scar Angelo (Jean-Baptiste Tabourin) fall victim to a horrific car accident. Matthiew doesn’t make it, but Sarah and her still unborn child survive. Fast forward to Christmas Eve and Sarah rests at home, anticipating the birth of her child, which is scheduled for the following (Christmas) day. Still extremely distraught, Sarah’s psyche is in shambles. Plagued by terribly vivid nightmares, Sarah’s troubles escalate when a strange woman (Beatrice Dalle) suddenly knocks on her door. Mental instabilities quickly become the least of Sarah’s problems this Christmas Eve, as this stranger is anything but friendly, and she want’s Sarah’s baby... badly. An unsettling battle unfolds as Sarah tries desperately to keep her attacker at bay.

If THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT hooked up with the RUINS, and had a baby after carrying a dreadful GRUDGE, you’d find a little HAUNTED FOREST had made it‘s way into the world. I wish I could write something endearing to adhere to that scenario, but I’m having a hard time bringing myself to do it. I wish I could say I was exaggerating a bit, but I can’t do that either. The fact is, this one just isn’t much fun - plain and simple.

The deeper I delve into writing, the more movies and literature I digest. My biggest obstacle at this point is not finding the material, it’s finding the time to watch it, and the money to purchase it all. After consistently emptying my bank account on countless DVD’s and books over the last few months, I really started to ask myself one question: How the hell can I pick all this stuff up quickly and affordably? Well, an obvious solution occurred to me - why not seek out box sets?
While Ebay is my one stop shop for books (I recommend it to all), DVD’s are not always as easy to track down, so I decided to highlight 15 cool box sets which will enable you to beef up your collection without breaking your pocket book.
