Indie Horror Thrives this Week on DVD and Blu-ray
If you’ve stuck around the genre for any serious length of time, chances are you’ve got an affinity for B-movies. The horror genre produces a lot of low budget work, but some of the best films we’ve ever seen were independent pictures, no massive budget to toy with, and very few recognizable faces in the onscreen lineup. What those movies had was heart. All the heart in the world, which makes it hard to dismiss any film without a lot of thought.
Don’t Hang Up
An evening of drunken prank calls becomes a nightmare for a pair of teenagers when a mysterious stranger turns their own game against them…with deadly consequences.
Don’t Kill It
An ancient evil is unleashed in a small Alaskan town leaving a trail of death and destruction as it passes from host to host. The only hope of survival lies with a grizzled demon hunter (Dolph Lundgren) who has faced this terror before. Together with a reluctant FBI agent he has to figure out how to destroy a demon with the ability to possess its killer.

We Go On
Paralyzed by his fear of dying, Miles Grissom (Clark Freeman) offers a cash reward to the first person who can show him a ghost, an angel, a demon – anything to prove that we go on after our deaths.
