It’s a pretty slow week in terms of horror releases, but we’ve got a handful of goodies we’d like to bring to your attention.
Click on the titles below for our full coverage on each. Opening this week in theaters and on VOD are…
21 Days
In the small town of Fillmore, tucked away on a dirt road, is an old, deserted farmhouse. Built in 1890, the house was the subject of a major land dispute between Native Americans, who claimed it was rightfully their land and the site of an ancient burial ground, and the Samuels. Legend has it, on what would have been their 21st day of living in the house, a preacher had gone to check in on the Samuels only to discover all their belongings left behind, as if the family had stepped out for just a moment, ready to return at any time – but they never did.
Over the next 124 years, only two other families attempted to live in the house. Both left less than 21 days after moving in, leaving behind everything, never to speak of it again. Ever since, the house has lay vacant, until three filmmakers attempt to film the supernatural phenomena, but nothing prepared them for what they would find. There are some places so dark, so evil, where no human – no living thing – should dwell.
Asylum of Darkness
After awakening in a mental asylum, a patient plans an escape to freedom but finds an even more disturbing, supernatural world on the outside, one that threatens to keep him trapped in madness forever.

The Void
Officer Daniel Carter happens upon a blood-soaked figure limping down a deserted stretch of road while he’s in the middle of a routine patrol. He rushes the young man to a nearby rural hospital staffed by a skeleton crew, only to discover that patients and personnel are transforming into something inhuman. As the horror intensifies, Carter leads the other survivors on a hellish voyage into the subterranean depths of the hospital in a desperate bid to end the nightmare before it’s too late.
