What's New on VOD This Week? (8/23-8/26)

*Check out all of our Release Date Pages: Blu-ray & DVD, Theatrical, VOD, TV.

It's an excellent week for VOD releases, especially if you like Thrillers of the revenge and serial killer type.



*Be sure to click the pics to rent the movies, or watch their trailers. Or both. Or neither. It really depends on your mood, now doesn't it?



*If you aren't already a member, you should really give Amazon Prime a shot, especially if you order movies on the regular like we do, because the free two-day shipping pays for itself after around 10 orders. Check it out for free HERE.

Here are this week's VOD releases, ranked in order from most to least anticipated.

1. Blood Father has got to be the surprise of the week, as it showed up on Amazon today along side of its theatrical run. This looks like a solid Survival/Revenge Thriller, and it's gotten some great reviews so far, so we're all in.


2. I Am Not a Serial Killer is one that I've been dying to see since I read the first book in the John Cleaver Series. Like Blood Father, it looks great and has garnered some positive reviews, so it's at the top of our list.


3. In Order of Disappearance is a very Coen Brothers-esque Norwegian Black Comedy/Thriller that is sitting in our watch list right now. We love Stellan Skarsgard, and can't wait to see what he does with this darkly comedic role.


4. De Palma is a Doc that never played near us during its Festival Run/Limited Theatrical Release, so once again, we'll be all over this one when time permits.


5. We include Bang Gang on our list this week not because it looks provocative, but because films like this tend to be disturbing on a very real level. This is a straight-up Drama, and it very well may have no Horror or Thriller elements present throughout it, but it looks like it's worthy of a watch.


6. Daylight's End looks like it might be a fun, Post-Apocalyptic zombie flick, albeit a lower budget one. The name Lance Henriksen still carries enough weight with us to make us want to check out his new projects. We hope this will be a good one.


7. And finally we have The Darkness, which was a pretty tepid Supernatural Thriller that we willl not be renting. You can read our review HERE.


8. Happy streaming!
