With Halloween around the corner, Hollywood will offer an array of films on DVD this weekend. Horror, comedy, drama and thrillers are among the genres set to be released this week.

Latin Post takes a look at the hottest new DVD releases hitting stores this week:

Deliver Us from Evil

Just in time for Halloween, Sony will try to garner an audience on this horror film after having flopped in theaters over the summer. Starring Eric Bana and Edgar Ramirez, the films tells the story of New York police officer Ralph Sarchie, who investigates a series of crimes and joins forces with an unconventional priest, schooled in the rites of exorcism, to combat the possessions that are terrorizing their city.

The film was met with terrible reviews and Latin Post called it "an overlong messy film with cheap thrills." With Halloween on Friday, Sony should get a boost from DVD rentals.

Begin Again 

For those interested in a romantic feel good movie, the Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo starrer is one of the most charming films of the year. The musical drama tells the story of a chance encounter between a disgraced music-business executive and a young singer-songwriter new to Manhattan which turns into a promising collaboration between the two talents. The film was not a financial success, but was a critical hit.

Latin Post described it as it as "a feel-good movie that feels genuine and one that will resonate with viewers in search of an uplifting journey." The movie currently has awards buzz and should generate business for the home video platform. Additionally, art house and music fans are likely to show interest.

America 

Over the summer, Lionsgate attempted to the relive the same success Dinesh D'Souza obtained from his 2012 documentary "2016 Obama's America." The latest documentary tells the story that questions the shaming of the U.S. through revisionist history, lies and omissions by educational institutions, political organizations, Alinsky, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other progressives to destroy America. While it was met with terrible reviews, the documentary had some success and made $14 million. D'Souza's documentary is likely to obtain an audience from the conservative party, but will likely fail to generate interest from more liberal audiences.

Child of God

The new thriller adapted from Cormac McCarthy's work tells the story of a dispossessed, violent man whose attempts to exist outside the social order are futile and, as a result, the man descends to the level of a cave dweller as he falls deeper into crime and degradation.

Directed by James Franco and starring Scott Haze, the movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival to mixed reviews. Critics called it unwatchable. The film received a small release in theaters and with Well Go USA doing a small launch for the DVD release, this movie may only attract faithful McCarthy fans.

Life of Crime 

Roadside Attractions will release the comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, Will Forte, John Hawkes, Tim Robbins and Isla Fisher. "Life of Crime" tells the story of two common criminals who get more than they bargained for after kidnapping the wife of a corrupt real-estate developer who shows no interest in paying the $1 million dollar ransom for her safe return. The movie received a small theater run with a VOD release at the same time. While it scored positive reviews, it received virtually no marketing campaign and marginalized its chances of obtaining an audience. The film will likely be ignored over more prestige films being released this fall.

Wish I Was Here 

Zach Braff's Kickstarter-funded film will hit store shelves after disappointing virtually every fan and contributor. The new film tells the story of Aidan Bloom, a 35-year-old man who finds himself at a major crossroads, which forces him to examine his life, his career and his family.

The movie premiered at Sundance to terrible reviews and later flopped at the box office. Starring Kate Hudson and Joey King, it is likely "Wish I Was Here" will be buried among the surplus of Indie films.

Other releases include the James Franco and Kate Hudson thriller "Good People," Strand's "The Mystery of Happiness" and "The Prince" starring Bruce Willis and John Cusack.
