We've entered another fairly slow week of releases with only half-a-dozen titles to check out. The most notable among the lot are QUEENS OF THE DEAD from Tina Romero and SHELBY OAKS, both of which reportedly hit VOD tomorrow. Meanwhile, Friday has a couple interesting theatrical options for fans such as the religious horror flick THE CARPENTER'S SON starring Nic Cage and the latest from director Osgood Perkins (Longlegs, The Monkey) titled KEEPER. Check below for everything notable coming out this week.
NOTE: This is not a comprehensive list (there's simply too much to keep track of), but it is a list of the more notable movies to look out for. If you spot an error or if a movie is missing from the list, contact me. Also, keep in mind that these are US release dates, so they may differ if you're in another country.
(UPDATE 11/11): Looks like the reports of SHELBY OAKS hitting VOD today weren't correct. At the moment its VOD release is still TBD.
