DVD Releases: 5/11/2010: A Tidal Wave of Daybreakers Brings a Terror Overload

By The Woman In Black
May 10th, 2010

One of the best mixes of home video releases we've seen so far this year hits store shelves on May 11th. What with a vampire movie geared toward adults that has actual adults starring in it, an end-of-the-world saga that pits the Archangel Michael against his winged brethren, and a couple of nature-run-amok entries, we have a little something for everyone.

The pack includes Legion (if you missed its theatrical run, be sure to pick it up now to get in on the debate of whether it's so bad it's good or just so bad), the ghostly Tsunami Beach Club, and our pick of the week - Daybreakers, which went a long way toward putting the bite back into vampire flicks.

A couple of compilations also bow this week. No doubt in honor of Survival of the Dead's debut, the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake and Romero's Land of the Dead are being offered in a twin Blu-ray set. The Maneater Triple Feature consists of Croc, Sea Beast, and Swarm; and in a blast from the past we have 1987's Dead of Winter starring Mary Steenburgen, who plays three roles in the film, paired with 1977's Audrey Rose starring Marsha Mason and Anthony Hopkins.

And that's just the beginning! Dig in and see what lands in your shopping cart.

R.I.P. Frank Frazetta
If there's one artist who throughout his career has defined the terms badass and rock and roll, it is no doubt Frank Frazetta. It's with a really heavy heart we report that yet another legend of the industry is no longer with us.
