DC LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS [4K UHD] (2022): "An animated tale packed with comedy and action, DC League of Super-Pets fares much better than anticipated. Blessed with an excellent cast and a slew of clever bits, the movie turns into a consistent delight." Starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart. Warner, $49.98, 10/4/2022.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: NEXT OF KIN [BLU-RAY] (2021): "After a six year break, the Paranormal Activity franchise resumed with Next of Kin. That time off did not rejuvenate the series, though, so expect another film long on tedium and low on inspiration from Kin." Starring Emily Bader, Roland Buck III. Paramount, $67.99, 10/11/2012.

MARK OF THE VAMPIRE [BLU-RAY] (1935): "Four years after Dracula, Tod Browning and Bela Lugosi returned to that genre via Mark of the Vampire. That 1935 flick fails to find much to make it special and it seems like a dull attempt at a thriller." Starring Lionel Barrymore, Bela Lugosi. Warner, $21.99, 10/11/2022.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 [BLU-RAY] (2011): "Although Paranormal Activity 3 fails to reinvent any found footage wheels, it manages to work better than its two predecessors. It still relies on too many jump scares, but at least it builds actual tension and narrative elements." Starring Chris Smith, Lauren Bittner. Paramount, $9.99, 1/24/2012.

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD [4K UHD] (1985): "No one will mistake Return of the Living Dead for the best of the genre, but that does not make it a bad entry. The movie mixes comedy and horror in a satisfying way." Starring Clu Gulager, James Karen. Shout, $39.98, 10/18/2022.

PARANORMAL ACTIVIY 2 [BLU-RAY] (2010): "While not a literal remake of the first film, Paranormal Activity 2 strongly echoes its predecessor. Though I find it marginally more involving than that stinker, it still fails to become an engaging horror story." Starring Sprague Greyden, Brian Boland. Paramount, $9.99, 2/8/2011.
