Wolfen (Blu-ray)

A real-estate tycoon, his coke-binging wife and a slum wino have something grisly in common: They're the latest victims in a series of random murders. A veteran NYPD detective soon suspects the killings may be supernatural and deliberate - ages-old beings of cunning intelligence and incredible power defending their turf from the encroachments of humankind. Using a Steadicam camera and Louma crane to simulate the predators' perspectives. Director Michael Wadleigh (Woodstock) achieves a remarkable blend of New York City mystery and menace not captured on film before. With deft performances by Albert Finney, Gregory Hines, Diane Venora and Edward James Olmos, Wolfen is a full-fanged, full-throttle horror ride.
