Find Thrills and Chills on New DVD Releases

The following DVDs will be released Tuesday:

— “Asylum” (MGM, $26.98) — Horror-thriller about coeds who move into dorm rooms located on the site of a former mental institution.

R (violence, gore, profanity, brief nudity)

— “The Bank Job” (Lionsgate, $29.95) — ** — Allegedly based on a true story, this is a sleazy caper thriller filled with unpleasant characters. Jason Statham stars.

R (profanity, violence, nudity, sex, torture, drugs, vulgarity, brief gore, slurs) –Jeff Vice, Deseret News — “College Road Trip” (Disney, $29.99) — * 1/2 — A disingenuous attempt to turn the formerly R-rated comedian Martin Lawrence into a cuddly, family- friendly film star.

G (violence, mild vulgarity, brief drugs) –Jeff Vice, Deseret News

— “The Future Is Unwritten — Joe Strummer” (Sony, $19.98) — *** — Julien Temple’s documentary profile of the late Clash frontman was a labor of love for the filmmaker.

Not rated, probable R (profanity, vulgarity, drugs, violence, slurs) –Jeff Vice, Deseret News

— “Shutter” (Fox, $29.99) — ** — This uncredited remake of a 2004 Thai horror film has its moments. But even at 86 minutes, it’s a drag.

PG-13 (violence, sex, profanity) –Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

— “Step Up 2: The Streets” (Disney, $34.95) — * — The same movie as the 2006 step-dancing hit, at least in terms of story arc.

PG-13 (profanity, vulgarity, violence) –Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel
