Here is the scoop on all 8 films with a cover art gallery.

Fragile — An atmospheric ghost story from Spanish director Jaume Balagueró (the [REC] trilogy, Darkness), Amy Nicholls (Calista Flockhart), the new night nurse at a soon-to-be-abandoned children’s hospital, readies the last group of orphans to leave. But it becomes increasingly clear that these are not normal children.

The Tomb (aka Ligeia) — Director Michael Staininger’s updated adaptation of the classic Edgar Allan Poe tale “The Tomb of Ligeia.” Successful writer and scholar Jonathan Merrick (Wes Bentley falls under the spell of the bewitching beauty Ligeia, who is fighting a fatal illness.

Grimm Love (aka Rohtenburg and Butterfly: A Grimm Story) — In this fact-based thriller, German graduate student Katie Armstrong (Keri Russell) is researching cannibalistic killer Oliver Hartwin (Thomas Kretschmann) for her thesis. Obsessed with her subject, she plunges into “the lifestyle.”

Road Kill (aka Road Train) — An Australian surprise starring emerging heartthrob Xavier Samuel. In this supernatural thriller, a group of teenagers (including Samuel) embark on a road trip and find themselves menaced by a driver-less truck in the Australian outback.

Dark House — Directed by writer/producer Darin Scott, this thriller is a high-tech take on the traditional “haunted house,” featuring a charismatically maniacal performance by horror legend Jeffrey Combs

Hunger — Steven Hentges’ shocker stars Lori Heuring in a physically and psychologically demanding role. Five strangers (including Heuring) find themselves trapped in an underground dungeon. Realizing they are the subjects of a sadistic experiment to test the depths of a human being’s will to survive, their hunger increases as their humanity fades

Pig Hunt — Called “Enjoyably offbeat hybrid horror” by Variety, this quirky action/thriller – directed by James Isaac – was a success story at 12 national and international film festivals. In Pig Hunt, a young man and his pals embark on a guys’ weekend to hunt wild boars on his late uncle’s remote ranch. But as the group treks deeper into the forest, the awful truth is revealed about his uncle’s demise and the hunters become the hunted.

The Haunting (aka No-Do: The Beckoning) — This Spanish chiller from director Elio Quiroga was inspired by the Catholic Church’s documentation of actual, unexplained supernatural phenomena in the ’40s and stars Ana Torrent (Tesis) as a new mother driven to the brink of madness.
