David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |

The Dark Corner (1946) |
"...a compelling, surprisingly suspenseful little film noir." |
David Nusair |
Splat .5/4 |

David Nusair |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Dark Water (2005) |
"...[one of the best] films to hit theaters in a long while...a refreshing change of pace from the mindless fare that generally populates multiplexes during the summer months." |

Darkness (2003) |
"...ultimately comes off as nothing less than a total disaster." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Darkness Falls (2003) |

a continued step in the right direction for the horror genre." |
David Nusair |

Date Movie (2006) |
"...as terrible and slipshod a film as one could ever imagine..." |
David Nusair |

"...employs a bizarre structure that makes it virtually impossible to connect with anything or anyone on screen." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |

"...an incredibly lame suspense flick that may as well have come from a
book entitled "Paint-By-Numbers Thriller Writing."" |

"...there's not a whole lot here worth recommending." |
David Nusair |
