Written and directed by Final Destination‘s Eric Bress, the film follows five battle-hardened American soldiers are assigned to hold a French Chateau near the end of World War II.

Brenton Thwaites, Alan Ritchson, Skylar Astin, Theo Rossi, Kyle Gallner, Billy Zane, and Shaun Toub star in Ghosts of War which we gave a 5 out of 5 score in our review.

Blu-ray Review: Ghost Ship (2002)

Back in 1962, pleasure cruise ship the Antonia Graza has nearly it’s entire occupancy scissored in two by a seemingly freak accident involving a broken cable. Flash forward to the modern age, and a group of rough n’ tumble salvagers lead by the no-bullshit Murphy (Gabriel Byrne) catch wind of the ship just floatin’ out on the Bearing Sea just waiting to be plundered! Once on board, our heroes soon find they are up to their assholes in supernatural goings-on, and the ghosts that now inhabit the vessel are none-to-eager to give up their secrets! While the story isn’t going to set the wicked world ablaze with it’s originality (though credit where credit is due, the sequence where we discover the truth behind the ghost ship is top-notch indeed), Ghost Ship has plenty of things in it’s favor. Chief among them is the absolutely top-notch set design, with the titular location being fully realized, and completely (and fittingly) off-putting with

Dan Aykroyd, acclaimed writer, actor, musician, and filmmaker, is no stranger to the things that go bump in the night, he’s a Ghostbuster for god’s sake. Now, he’s taking viewers face-to-face with the paranormal as the narrator of Travel Channel’s new paranormal series “Hotel Paranormal.” The series follows the terrifyingly true encounters of those who experience paranormal activities of hotel, motels, and inns from around the world.
