	Catacombs Another suspense-horror feature to miss out on a US theatrical release, Catacombs is set under the streets of Paris, where a labyrinth of tunnels hosting a dance party turns into a claustrophobic nightmare for an American woman seemingly pursued by a killer. "Inspired by true events," whatever they were, it co-stars the singer Pink in a largely no-name cast. A surprise ending divided viewers, but most would seem to agree that if you really want to see a young-women-in-subterranean-peril movie, stay at home and rent The Descent.
	The Killer Snake Properly known as Alien Incursion, this made-for-DVD horror flick is a hybrid retread of the human body as chest-bursting incubator from Alien and the rival hunter element from Critters, all set in a forest. Director Jeffery Scott Lando's first film was Savage Island, a 2003 action-horror effort that had some decent reviews despite a paltry budget. This, his third feature, seems to be gamely keeping up that momentum. Note: The deadly aliens start out small and snake-like but end up looking like mutant geckos with horns. Oddly, the English title appears to be exclusive to Taiwan. It's showing at - where else? - the Caesar grindhouse in Ximending.
	End of the Spear In the words of Bullwinkle J. Moose, "This time for sure!" End of the Spear was set for release twice and twice pulled at the last minute. This time it really is showing - at the Scholar theater complex, to be exact. If you're interested in tales of religious conversion set amid deadly conflict in South America that barrack for the missionaries, then this saga might be for you.
