Another inbred cannibal horror movie in the form of Side Sho, which tells the story of an unwitting family's descent into Hell when they visit a traveling carnival and are besieged by the aforementioned cannibals. There have been so many horror films about crazy inbreds, from the original 1977 The Hills Have Eyes to its remake and other films like Wrong Turn, that one is immediately skeptical of another such release. That said, Side Sho could very well be entertaining as though derivative, Wrong Turn and its sequel were well-made shockers.
Dracula's Guest looks to tell a lesser-known Bram Stoker short story than the classic Dracula everyone knows. Right there this film gets bonus points for not regurgitating the same old story and it'll be intriguing to see what the filmmakers come up with. Casting Andrew Bryniarski, best known for lumbering after Jessica Biel as Leatherface in the 2003 Michael Bay-produced remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in the role of Dracula is an inspired choice but it remains to be seen whether he has the acting chops to pull it off.
Side Sho hits DVD July 29; Dracula's Guest follows a week later on August 5.
