Buried, Death Race 2, and Nite Tales: the Series Come to DVD and Blu-Ray January 18th!

There are a few horror themed titles moving to DVD and Blu-Ray the week of January 18th. Death Race 2 is available Tuesday, the 18th and a review for this title is here: Death Race 2 Review. This is a tale of the future, where criminals are television's number one celebrities (much like now e.g. Lyndsay Lohan). Also releasing on this date is Buried from director Rodrigo Cortes ("Dirt Devil"). Here, a civilian contractor in Iraq is deposited deep beneath the earth's surface and he only has a few hours of air left to come up with his own ransom. Finally, director Deon Taylor (Chain Letter) has put together the television series Nite Tales in a DVD version. Some of these titles will have more extras than others. Check out all three in more detail below.

The worst of these prisons is Terminal Island" (28DLA).
