Secret Journey
Based on a novel set in Ireland, this leisurely paced Italian mystery sets the action in Sicily. A psychiatrist returns to an old family home - the scene of his mother's shooting death - to establish the reasons why it is to be bought for his sister by her beau. Made in 2006, and still unreleased in major English-language markets, critics gave this feature a lukewarm reception. |

Body
Award-winning special effects mark this, one of two Thai horror movies to open this week. A man suffers recurring nightmares of a woman being dismembered, but it only gets worse. The line between dreamscape and reality dissolves as he and his body become caught up in a campaign of vengeance from beyond the grave. The poster art wants to capitalize on the Saw franchise. Also known as Body #19. |

Train of the Dead
Withering reviews accompanied the release of this ghosts-on-a-choo-choo flick, also from Thailand. Its release here points to a rule of marketing for local audiences in recent years: There's no such thing as an unsalvageable Thai horror movie. If a bunch of ill-fated bandits hitching a ride on a spooked caboose is your thing, then watch this, and be ready for cheap special effects and non sequitur motorbike races. |
