THEY CRAWL BENEATH [BLU-RAY] (2022): "As a mix of survival drama and horror, They Crawl Beneath shows real possibilities. However, the final product seems too melodramatic and devoid of real tension." Starring Joseph Almani, Karlee Eldridge. Well Go, $29.98, 10/4/2022.

SNIPER: ROGUE MISSION [BLU-RAY] (2022): "Although no one can regard Sniper: Rogue Mission as a legitimately good movie, it shows an attitude and a pulse that make it more engaging than the vast majority of the direct-to-video action flicks on the market. Nothing about it excels but it provides more wit and energy than anticipated." Starring Chad Michael Collins, Sayaka Akimoto. Sony, $25.99, 8/16/2022.

THE THIRD EYE [BLU-RAY] (1966): "With its tale of a man whose grief drives him mad, The Third Eye comes with a potentially intriguing plot. However, the final product lacks drama or much to sustain the viewer." Starring Franco Nero, Gioia Pascal. Arrow, $99.95, 10/18/2022.

SPITFIRE OVER BERLIN [BLU-RAY] (2022): "An inexpensive affair, Spitfire Over Berlin fails to overcome its budgetary restrictions. Even beyond the lack of funds, it suffers from nearly non-existent character and narrative movement, factors that make it painfully slow and dull." Starring Kris Saddler, Tom Gordon. Shout, $22.99, 9/6/2022.

WAR OF THE WORLDS [4K UHD] (1953): "I know that it maintains a prominent status in the history of science-fiction flicks. However, nearly 70 years down the road, The War of the Worlds does not offer much entertainment for modern audiences." Starring Gene Barry, Ann Robinson. Paramount, $39.99, 9/27/2022.

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE [BLU-RAY] (1951): "As the grandfather of a certain strain of end of the planet film, When Worlds Collide holds up surprisingly well. Even after more than 70 years, it comes with enough drama and tension to offer an engaging disaster flick." Starring Richard Derr, Barbara Rush. Paramount, $39.99, 9/27/2022.
