Stars: Denise Richards, Julian Richings, Maurice Dean Wint, Steve Byers, Sam Ashe Arnold | Written and Directed by Richard Boddington
A mother and her young son move to a new small town. They soon discover the town harbors a dark secret, and it’s a race against time to save the town.
There’s a certain quality to Richard Boddington‘s Wickensburg that feels so incredibly cheap despite having some admittedly fun ideas, even if they, too, can be a bit familiar. It’s a highly strange film for that reason. So much of this film on paper should’ve worked. It should’ve been a big ‘ol campy blast but instead, it’s just… kinda… bad.
It also doesn’t help that the film looks as if it was made on a high-school student’s budget. The lighting in nearly every scene looks poorly done, as does the overall cinematography.

A look at what's new on DVD today:
"Buried"
Directed by Rodrigo Cortes
Released by Lionsgate
"Paper Man"
Directed by Kieran and Michele Mulroney
Released by Mpi Home Video
While one can't feel too badly for the future "Green Lantern" star and People's sexiest man alive, Ryan Reynolds' two stabs at glory outside the beaten path went largely unseen, which is particularly a shame in the case of Rodrigo Cortes' "Buried," the thriller where Reynolds has no acting partner but a cell phone as a military contractor who finds himself trapped in a coffin with no knowledge of how or why he got there. A success at Sundance, Lionsgate scrapped expansion plans for the film when it didn't do well in limited release, so home video will be the first chance for many to catch it. Still, that was a considerably bigger success than "Paper Man," which snuck in...
