New on DVD and Blu-ray: HELL FEST (2018)

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: A group of friends are bound for a horror-themed Halloween event at a local amusement park — a sprawling labyrinth of rides, games, and mazes that travels the country and happens to be in town. But for one visitor, the ghoulish carnival of nightmares is not the attraction — it is a hunting ground. On the night the friends attend, a masked serial killer turns the amusement park into his own playground, terrorizing attendees while the rest of the patrons believe that it is all part of the show. As the body count and frenzied excitement of the crowd continues to rise, who will fight to survive the night?

Kevin Hart's new comedy is now in theaters, and pundits expect it to dominate the box-office. Critics didn't think much of it, but Hart's and Tiffany Haddish's fans will definitely want to check it out. Other new wide releases are Warner Bros' animated movie "Smallfoot" featuring the voices of Channing Tatum, James Corden and Zendaya, and the horror flick "Hell Fest". In limited release, definitely check out "The Old Man & The Gun", which was supposed to be Robert Redford's last movie ever...until it wasn't.
