Come on down to your local video shop because it's [REC] week, folks! That's right, you can get wrecked with [REC] while sitting fully erect once you settle down with the Spanish flick that FEARnet called "a shock-a-minute masterpiece," and I can vouch for those five words because I wrote 'em! If you liked Quarantine, and I actually did, then be prepared for a movie that makes Quarantine look like Quakers. No offense to the Dowdle brothers, who did a fine job of bringing American accents to a flick that, frankly, didn't really need 'em ... but [REC] is a very special little horror film indeed. Enough said.

Oh, and while you're at the store, feel free to give The Haunting in Connecticut a shot (at least as a rental). It's got some very conventional haunted house schtick from stem to stern, but it also has a few new ideas of its own, and it does generate some half-decent PG-13-style shivers from time to time.

A curiosity you'll want to skip is Horsemen, which stars Dennis Quaid as a dental expert detective coroner guy who stumbles into a

SEVEN-style serial killer schpiel, only this time it's Zhang Ziyi as the evil mastermind. The few pandering moments of grisly gore do nothing to elevate this beyond snoozeville, population: you. Not even Quaid's wig seems interested.

Other horror releases this week include (yet) another re-issue of Romero's Night of the Living Dead (this time with T-shirt), something goofy-looking called Devil Girl, and (omg hooray) the non-awaited blu-ray debut of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

Rent at your own risk: A Haunting: Twilight of Evil; Prey; Black Torment; and (ahem) OC Babes and the Slasher of Zombietown.

Next week: Yikes, not much. Messengers 2 is actually half-decent, but ... next week is all about that Watchmen Director's Cut, isn't it?
