'Rebecka Martinsson' DVD Review

Ida Engvoll plays Rebecka an unconventional but very successful lawyer. She lives in Stockholm, Sweden. She has a very handsome boyfriend and someone would think she has the greatest of lives. Rebecka gets word from her hometown that a childhood friend has died. She has done her best at leaving her hometown behind her but this news has her dreading the trip back home. Her friends death has been ruled as an accident but Rebecka begins to see things differently. She believes that her friend was possibly murdered.

Rebecka gets in touch with Anna Maria Mella (Eva Melander) who works for the police force. Anna looks over what Rebecka has found and believes that it could have been murder. The two women begin the work of trying to find the killer but eventually find out some info that could shake Rebecka to her core. Rebecka begins to look at some facts about her life that could bring her back to Kiruna (her hometown) for good. Anna is very impressed with the way Rebecka works and wants her to work for the local police. The problem with this move is that Rebecka would have to look at her past like she has never done before.

Rebecka has a good life in Stockholm. She has a very successful law practice and a boyfriend that most women would die for. Acorn brings this wonderful show to DVD on February 27th, 2018. The sights and sounds are breathtaking when you figure it was shot in northern Sweden. The landscapes are superb to look at. The quality of the DVD is excellent and it is a joy to watch. This is one of those shows that you will want to watch over and over. The suspense is great and the characters are expertly done. The acting is superb and honestly this is an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon watching a wonderful show. Enjoy.

'Inoperable' DVD Review

Director, Producer, and Writer Christopher Lawrence Chapman has brought us horror on a grand scale. Danielle Harris has been called a scream queen and she can certainly carry that nick name in this film. Harris plays a young woman with the name of Amy. Our heroine is a hospital patient who must fight nature at its very best. Amy wakes up in the hospital with a hurricane fast approaching. The storm is not the worst thing that can happen here. For Amy realizes that the storm has awakened forces that if she can’t escape will trap her in the hospital for eternity. That’s right these forces that have been awakened will freeze time and poor Amy will be trapped in a time loop.

The story line takes us with Amy driving in her car and next she is back in the hospital. She will at first believe that she is alone and wanders the halls listening to a repeated warning of the approaching storm. All of sudden Amy is back in her car and we see her driving along. Then all of a sudden she is back in this hospital walking the halls. Except this time she sees Doctors and patients but they are unable to see her. Each the people in the hospital get weirder and weirder. Finally, the hospital begins to take on the haunted ghostly look of the dead. It is about this time that Amy begins to realize that if she can’t get out of the hospital she will be trapped in the time loop forever.

Chapman hits on a theme of complete and absolute horror that will keep you glued to your seat. Zorya Films, Millman Productions, and ITN Distribution brings us this classic horror DVD to us on February 6th, 2018. The DVD quality is excellent and the sights and sounds are exquisite. This is one that you will want to add to that personal library and watch over and over. Harris actually pulls this one off. At first you want to say that this is one big load of crap but Harris pulls it together to live up to that nick name of scream queen. So take the time to pick this one up and get comfortable for an evening of pure horror.
