Looks like we've got another decent number of releases this week. Specifically, DANGEROUS ANIMALS about a serial killer on a boat lands on PVOD tomorrow, after a theatrical run last month. Meanwhile, Friday sees a majority of this week's releases, like the evil Bambi flick BAMBI: THE RECKONING, THE HOME starring Pete Davidson, and the found footage movie HOUSE ON EDEN, all of which hit limited theaters. If you'd rather stay at home, MONSTER ISLAND is an option as it debuts on Shudder. Lastly, we have a rare Sunday release with the horror comedy ICK, which opens to limited theaters. Check below for everything notable releasing this week.
