There is one major horror release moving to DVD, Blu-Ray and other formats today, along with a minor independent title. Most have heard of Piranha 3D. But for those who have missed the theatrical screening, here is your chance to own the title. This horror thriller would put thousands of tiny man-eating fish in your living room, as long as gratuitous nudity does not hamper your good time. There are a great number of special features on the Blu-Ray for this title e.g. deleted scenes, featurettes. However, the extra features on the DVD are sparse. More details on the special features for both formats are below.

Now, Legion: The Final Exorcism reads like a knock off of the Eli Roth produced The Last Exorcism, with a review of this second title here: The Last Exorcism Review. Read the plots for both, for some surreal coincidences. However, MTI Home Video is one of the biggest companies in the DVD distribution market and their titles often excite e.g. The Haunting of Amelia. So, check out more details on both these titles inside.

Piranha 3D

The synopsis for the film:

"Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for Spring Break, a riot of sun and drunken fun. But this year, there's something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers. A new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area's new razor-toothed residents" (28DLA).

Release: January 11th, 2011 (DVD, Blu-Ray).
