Veteran sci-fi and action stalwart Mark L. Lester (Commando, Class of 1984) helms this period supernatural horror opus, inspired by one of history's oddest mysteries: the question of what happened to the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke Island in 1587. In Lester's version of the tale, three demonic witches arise from the netherworld to claim the settlers, and attack the soldiers from multiple directions. The spirits include the Witch Wraith, who exerts apocalyptic control over the nearby forest; the Viking Wraith, who slices through the front lines with a broadsword, and the Reaper Wraith, who disembowels victims with a scythe. As devastation erupts and the colonists meet gory ends, hope arises in the form of Ananias Dare, who valiantly attempts to decipher the enigma of the wraiths, exploit their Achilles' Heel, and send the vile spirits back to the fiery cauldron of Hell. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
A newly married American bride begins to suspect that her Englishman husband had ulterior motives when planning their romantic honeymoon on Portugal after learning that Portugal is hosting the European Championship Football Finals, and that her sports-loving groom just happens to have tickets to the opening games. Everyone agrees that Mark (Danny Dyer) and Holly (Gillian Kierney) are the perfect couple, and what better way to celebrate their marriage than with a romantic road trip through Portugal? Just as their journey is getting under way, however, Mark reveals to her that he recently scored three tickets to see the English national team play in the opening games of the European Championship Football Finals. Though Mark claims it was an innocent coincidence, it seems that everywhere the couple goes, football fever is sure to follow. As the games intensify and Holly begins to suspect that Mark has been planning this from the very beginning, cracks begin to develop in their relationship and the once ecstatic bride begins to have second thoughts about her union. Is football Mark's true passion in life, or could it be that he truly loves his new wife as much as he says, and that it was really just happenstance as he's claimed all along? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
