Let’s be honest, while we get a selection of genre films on streaming sites monthly, we all know the real loot usually lies in the world of VOD and theaters. Last month alone we got some great titles such as The Devil’s Candy, Raw, and The Belko Experiment, and that’s just naming a few. And while the selection is not quite as rich as last month, we still have a handful of movies to look forward to in the month of April.
