| The Children (2008) | "
This is a rare film that strikes a perfect chord between subtle and visceral scares, between the primal and the nightmarish, between surreal and survival horror...Tom Shankland delivers the most white-knuckled experience yet with The Children." Posted Nov 28, 2008 |

| Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) | "
Direction consists of visuals that are dark and moody, but lack any genuine atmosphere. While the emphasis on old school prosthetics over CGI is welcome, it's all still one big technical exercise. The Brothers capture the look of Alien and Predator movies" Posted Dec 24, 2007 |

A film like Teeth could've easily been a one-joke Troma movie or a hollow feminist tirade, but it wisely takes the high road as a quirky indie shocker and will have both sexes guarding their genitals from beginning to end." Posted Dec 23, 2007 |
