This Week's Notable Horror: 04/06 - 04/12


Last week was one of the slowest we’ve had in a while for new releases, but things pick back up this week with over a dozen titles. If you missed'em in theaters, tomorrow brings THE BRIDE! and PSYCHO KILLER to VOD. Meanwhile, Friday offers plenty of options, including the limited theatrical release of the Japanese film EXIT 8 and a wide release for the new FACES OF DEATH. If you’d rather stay home, Netflix debuts the killer shark flick THRASH, alongside the on-demand release of THE YETI. Check below for everything notable arriving this week.
