October is headed our way at top speed it seems.  So if you’re like me and already planning your Halloween horrorfest, there’s a new movie hitting DVD this month that promises creepy scares.  Barricade is an “I see ghosts” thriller that stars Will & Grace/Perception‘s Eric McCormack as Terrance, a father who takes his kids to a cabin in the woods in order to try to ease the loss of his wife/their mom.  Um, perhaps a Disney cruise would have been a better idea, based on the trailer for this film….

This film has a bit of The Shining feel to it, as the description hints that “you are never really sure what’s real.  What [Terrance is] seeing, at a certain point, he realizes is possibly not quite true.”  Check out the blurb from the press release:

A holiday in the mountains is an opportunity for the Shade family to accept their tragic loss and start anew.  Little do they know they’ll all be tested in unimaginable ways. Apart from their fun-filled first night at the cabin and a snowball fight the following morning, the family experiences events that would frighten the most fearless.  The harrowing ordeal they are faced with, and ultimately survive, forces Terrance to overcome his fears and truly understand what it means to be a parent.

What’s really freaking me out is that this comes from WWE Studios.  Yep, it’s a subsidiary of wrestling’s WWE.  As wrestling seems to have a home on SyFy — hey nerds, these are the guys that used to pants you in Phys Ed! — maybe I’ll take a moment and give this film a chance.  I mean, it can’t be as bad as SyFy’s Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus.  Then again not much could….
