Icon Home Entertainment has announced the upcoming DVD release of Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night, the officially sanctioned Japanese sequel to 2009’s docu-horror Paranormal Activity.
This direct-to-DVD sequel to Oren Peli’s horror hit will be released in the UK on March 7, 2011. Typically, its been U.S. filmmakers who adapt Japanese horror films for American audiences, like what was done with The Ring and The Grudge, but for Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night, Japanese director Toshikazu Nagae has done the reverse, with input from the original U.S. producers. And this time, there’s TWO bedrooms and apparently, twice the fear! See below for the official synopsis, as well as a still from the movie.

The $9 t-shirt deal of the day over at Teefury today is a mash-up of Star Wars and Ghostbusters in the “It’s A Trap” shirt, by artist comicbookjer. The sale at Teefury began at midnight EST (Tuesday, January 18, 2011) and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it’s gone from the site for good. The design takes the Admiral Ackbar character from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and outfits him as one of the Ghostbusters from the film Ghostbusters. The shirt is called “It’s A Trap,” which is Ackbar’s famous line from Jedi, and Ackbar is holding up one of the ghost traps (get it?).

| Blu-ray Review: Buried |

Buried
Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo
DIRECTED BY: Rodrigo Cortés
WRITTEN BY: Chris Sparling
STARRING: Ryan Reynolds, Samantha Mathis, José Luis GarcÃa Pérez, Robert Paterson, Stephen Tobolowsky
Lionsgate Home Entertainment
RELEASE DATE: January 18, 2011 What would you do if you awoke to total blackness, barely able to move or breathe, and completely unaware of your location? What would you do if you soon realized that you’re not only unaware of your location, but that you’re actually in a wooden coffin, buried within the earth, set to ponder your horrific fate until the moment the last bit of life drifts away from your tormented body? If you’re anything like me, you’d likely slip into an uncontrollable panic wishing only that death would come as quickly as humanly possible. But for Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds), who finds himself in this very position in director Rodrigo Cortés‘s new thriller, Buried, giving up is not an option…at first. Paul is an American truck driver, who was working a contract job in Iraq delivering supplies to community centers and the like. But as he recalls soon after regaining consciousness, the convoy of trucks he was traveling with was attacked, first by children throwing rocks and then by much more deadly men with guns, who shoot most of the other drivers.
