3 titles from The Weinstein Company






Steel Trap concerns a group of party goers who find themselves unwitting participants in a deadly game after receiving a text message inviting them to the 27th floor for an "exclusive party." Another "Saw" clone? We'll see but I hope not. I've had enough of those with the yearly sequels themselves.

The Hive details how a special team is called in to deal with ants that have gotten out of control, devouring anything and everything in their path. The team soon discovers that the ants are not of tbis world... Alien ants!!? It's different, that's for sure.

Rogue is Greg Mclean's long-awaited (and long-delayed) follow-up to 2005's "Wolf Creek." It concerns a journalist (Michael Vartan), a boat of tourists and tourguide (played by Radha Mitchell) who encounter a giant man-eating crocodile while sightseeing. Word is positive on the film, which received a theatrical release in Australia in November of last year. It certainly can't be anymore disappointing than "Primeval," which couldn't decide if it wanted to be a horror film or a sequel to "Blood Diamond."

Steel Trap streets July 15; Rogue and The Hive on August 5.
