Music, Thrillers, and Horror on DVD this Tuesday

Latinos take the lead and support the stars in three very different DVDs releasing Tuesday March 11

Oscar Isaac made a huge impression and moved his career to a whole new level with Inside Llewyn Davis, the bittersweet story of a folk singer nobody can stand (and for good reasons). It’s available on DVD starting today.

Anthony Ray Perez co-stars in the psychological/horror thrillers Dark House. Nick Di Santo learns that his father is not only alive but can possibly reveal the origin of his son’s dark gift. Together, they travel to an abandoned mansion–one he thought only existed in his childhood imagination.

Zoë Saldaña was one of many stars in the almost completely ignored thriller Out of the Furnace, now available on DVD. The story centers around Rodney Baze, who mysteriously disappears and law enforcement doesn’t follow through fast enough. That’s when his older brother, Russell, takes matters into his own hands to find justice.
