A hulking Albino serial killer escapes from an asylum and returns to his former hunting grounds to stalk a group of teenagers in this stalk and slash shocker from written, directed by, and starring Frank Zagarino (Fitness for Life, Project: Shadowchaser). Years ago, the Spiker terrorized a small community by slashing his victims to shreds with railroad spikes and burying their bodies beneath the railroad tracks on the outskirts of town. These days the Spiker is rotting away in an institution, never to see the light of day again; at least that's what the haunted locals say in order to get a good night's sleep. When the authorities attempt to transport the Spiker and he stages a daring escape, his bloodlust becomes stronger than ever before. Now, in the small town where the legend of the Spiker was born, a new chapter in his dark saga begins. A group of bored teens have decided to camp out in an abandoned house, and just as they uncover a chilling secret, the Spiker returns to finish the job he began so many years ago. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A family takes on the difficult task of learning how to get along with one another in this emotional comedy drama. Alex Gromberg (Michael Douglas) is a middle-aged man who feels caught in the middle of his familial obligations as he muddles he way through a midlife crisis. While a successful businessman, Alex sometimes still feels as if he's under the shadow of his father, Mitchell Gromberg (Kirk Douglas), a successful attorney whose skills in the courtroom outstripped his gifts as a parent. Elderly Mitchell has recently survived a stroke, and Alex and Mitchell want to mend their relationship while there's still time, but making it so proves difficult, even with Alex getting advice from his wife, psychologist Rebecca (Bernadette Peters), and Mitchell being prodded by his long-suffering wife, Evelyn (Diana Douglas). Alex is also trying to reach out to his two sons, who are as different as night and day; college student Asher (Cameron Douglas) is an aspiring club DJ who seems to be styling himself to bear no resemblance to his father, while 11-year-old Eli (Rory Culkin) is an overly serious lad who is having trouble navigating the first steps of adolescence. It Runs in the Family marked the first time Kirk Douglas acted in a film with his son Michael Douglas; adding to the family atmosphere was Michael's son Cameron Douglas, working with his family for the first time, and Diana Douglas, Kirk's former wife and Michael's mother. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
