FEAR NOT is a chilling found footage horror movie in the skin crawling tradition of Paranormal Activity.
Ambitious young filmmaker Jason Petal (Aaron Perilo, In Time) stumbles across Super 8 footage of a grotesque 1970s murder, and is intent on remaking the terrifying event with his friends. The killings took place inside a gothic mansion that his father is restoring with help from the government (watch for a cameo by NBA legend Gary Payton as a senator), so Jason has full access to its horrors. The home has a long history of violent crime, and is haunted by vengeful ghosts with long memories. When Jason and his pals show up with cameras to stay for the night, they will becomes the stars of their own grisly snuff film.

Director: William Dickerson
Detour is a nerve-wracking thriller that conveys the claustrophobic horror of being 
buried alive.
Jackson Alder (Neil Hopkins, Lost) is a smooth talking ad man blindsided by Mother Nature. While driving home he is engulfed in a powerful mudslide, his car turned into an expensive steel tomb. Knocked unconscious, Jackson awakens to a nightmare, with only the memories of his girlfriend (Brea Grant, Dexter) to keep him company. As the windows crack under an avalanche of mud, his time and oxygen are running out. Jackson must battle starvation and hysteria in order to discover the light at the end of this dark tunnel. Pushing himself beyond his physical and mental boundaries, he must ask himself the ultimate question: How much would you sacrifice in order to survive?

He's Way More Famous Than You
Genre: Comedy
Street date: September 24, 2013
DVD SRP: $26.95
Director: Michael Urie
In the daring and hilarious He's Way More Famous Than You, actress and writer Halley Feiffer (Bored to Death) turns her up and down life in the movies into a madcap black comedy.
Halley plays an exaggerated version of herself, a manic alcoholic living off the fumes of fame generated by her performance in The Squid and the Whale (2005). Desperate for attention, she decides to apply for a grant at an independent film festival. Thinking only of stardom, she spends her time begging celebrities to act in her unwritten drama, pestering Natasha Lyonne (American Pie), Mamie Gummer (Side Effects), and the Karate Kid himself Ralph Macchio. As she drunkenly chases fame, her personal relationships disintegrate, and when the camera starts rolling she begins to realize how alone she really is.

EASY RIDER: THE RIDE BACK

DVD SRP: $26.95
Director: Dustin Rikert
EASY RIDER: THE RIDE BACK is the long awaited follow up to one of the most 
successful independent films of all time.
Almost 40 years ago Easy Rider captured America's imagination as a counterculture film that explored an era and its trials and tribulations. Now, part sequel, part prequel, EASY RIDER: THE RIDE BACK delves into the family lineage of Wyatt "Captain America" Williams (played in the original by Peter Fonda) and the family's trials and tribulations throughout the decades of the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's to present day. Juxtaposed against the family's love affair with motorcycles, the film delves into issues of love, War, honor, and redemption, while keeping true to the spirit of the original film: the iconic "Buddy Ride" and the idea of a continuing search for freedom in an America that is struggling to find its identity.
