Notable New Releases

Edge of Darkness
Mel Gibson's return to acting is decent but not anything special. It's not as complex as the UK mini-series it's based on and there isn't a lot of action, so it ends up being just a lighter version of Taken.

• Deleted Scenes
• Craven's War of Attrition
• Mel's Back
• Director Martin Campbell
• Making a Ghost Character Real
• Boston as a Character
• Adapting the Edge of Darkness Mini-series
• Revisiting the Edge of Darkness Mini-series
• Edge of Your Seat
• Scoring the Film

Extras include:

• Commentary
• The Making of Daybreakers - 2 hour documentary
• The Big Picture - Spierig Bros. Short Film
• Bonusview Storyboards/Animatics
• Poster Art Gallery
