New to LG Channels Video-on-Demand

Cape Fear (1991) – Legendary director Martin Scorsese teams with Academy Award®-winner Robert De Niro for another fruitful collaboration in this terrifying chiller. Academy Award®-nominee Nick Nolte stars as a defense attorney targeted for elimination by the deadly ex-con he failed to get off the hook. De Niro devours his villainous role, earning an Oscar® nomination for his portrayal of the psychotic serial killer. A remake of the 1962 classic, this is a true rarity: a remake that's as powerful as the original! With tension and suspense that doesn't let up, “Cape Fear” is a thrill-a-minute experience.

Cowboys & Aliens – Acclaimed filmmaker Jon Favreau directs Daniel Craig and Academy Award®-nominee Harrison Ford in this original Western meets alien-invasion movie. Academy Award®-winning producers Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer deliver this Old West action film set in 1873 Arizona Territory where a lone cowboy leads an uprising against a terror from another planet.

Premonition – Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) has a beautiful house, a loving husband and two adorable daughters. Her life is perfect until the day she receives the devastating news that her husband Jim (Julian McMahon) has died in a car accident. When she wakes up the next morning to find him alive and well, she assumes it was all a dream, but is shaken by how vivid it felt. She soon realizes it wasn't a dream, and her world is turned upside down as the surreal circumstances lead her to discover that her perfect life may not have been all that it appeared. Desperate to save her family, Linda begins a furious race against time and fate to try and preserve everything that she and Jim have built together.

The Family Man – Academy Award®-winner Nicolas Cage plays a fast-lane investment broker in New York City who wakes up one morning to find himself living the quiet suburban life he rejected years ago. Also starring Tea Leoni, “The Family Man” is a fantastic holiday movie in the vein of "It's a Wonderful Life" that poses genuine questions about what's truly important in life.

The Game – Academy Award®-winner Michael Douglas stars as a man who receives an unusual birthday present: he's chosen to participate in a live-action game that penetrates all aspects of his life. But when it begins to go out of control - can he escape? Academy Award® winner Sean Penn co-stars in this thrilling film by visionary director David Fincher.

The Skeleton Key – Set in the dark, atmospheric backwoods of New Orleans, this horror thriller stars Academy Award®-nominee Kate Hudson as a live-in nurse hired to care for an elderly woman's ailing husband in their foreboding and decrepit plantation mansion. Exploring the old house armed with a skeleton key that unlocks every door, she discovers a hidden attic room that holds a deadly and terrifying secret. This contemporary supernatural thriller comes from director Iain Softley.

Vacancy – When David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox's (Kate Beckinsale) car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they are forced to spend the night at the only motel around, with only the TV to entertain them... until they discover that the low-budget slasher movies they're watching were all filmed in the very room they're sitting in. With hidden cameras now aimed at them – trapping them in rooms, crawlspaces, underground tunnels and filming their every move – David and Amy must struggle to get out alive before whoever is watching them can finish their latest masterpiece.

When A Stranger Calls – In 1978, one of the scariest movies of its time took to the big screen and sent babysitters around the world into a frenzied panic. In this contemporary re-imagining of that classic, high school student Jill Johnson (Camilla Belle) settles in for a routine night of babysitting in a remote hilltop house. With the children sound asleep and a beautiful home to explore, she locks the door and sets the alarm. But when a series of eerie phone calls from a stranger insists that she “check the children,” Jill begins to panic. Fear escalates to terror when she has the calls traced and learns they are coming from inside the house. Jill must summon all of her inner strength—brain, brawn and sheer animal instinct—if she is going to fight back and make it out of the house alive.
