Weekly New Releases – October 10, 2017
W. Blaine Dowler WDDP DVD 4 Comments
There’s a lot of stuff coming out this week, but I don’t know how much of it is all that noteable. There’s a lot of mediocrity worth mentioning, and that’s about it.

October Reviews: XX
“The devil gets blamed for a lot of stuff he didn’t have nothing to do with.”
October has fallen again and, once more, the Bureau digs up its ghostly offerings for night-time viewing. We’ll have horrors past and present up for review. Along with the shambling dead and the body snatchers, the horrors lurking behind your neighbor’s white picket fence and friendly facade, and the mysterious agents holding back the hordes of hell, we’ll also examine an SF sequel more-anticipated than any recent Star Wars chapter. Our full list appears at the end of this review.
Without a doubt, the most-discussed horror films of 2017 have been It (reviewed here) and Get Out (which we will examine on Halloween night). However, much fan chatter also centered ’round the horror anthology XX— and that’s where this year’s October Reviews begin.

The Gifted Review: “eXposed”
JD DeLuzio TV Series 8 Comments
Marvel’s latest series doesn’t take place in their vast shared crossover universe. Instead, we have a timely television spin on the X-men. A leader of the mutant underground gets captured, while a man who helps prosecute mutants learns his children carry the X-factor gene.

Some spoilers follow.
