Tomato A+ |
Halloween (1978) |
"Responsible for jump-starting Jamie Lee Curtis’s career, this one so thoroughly and thoughtfully exploited American angst that it’s no wonder we had to sit through a slew of derivative slasher flicks for the better part of the next decade." |

Halloween (2007) |
"Rob Zombie is a big ol' cinephile who lacks the chops to execute on the screen everything that's going on emotionally and intellectually inside his head." |

Tomato B |
Halloween: H2O (1998) |
"H20 has two things going for it. One of them is a powerhouse performance by one of the great icons of contemporary horror film, Jamie Lee Curtis. And the other is the wordless presence of the bulky, bemasked heavy known as Michael Meyers." |

Splat C+ |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Anthony Hopkins plays the grim doctor here with Freddy Krueger relish, only occasionally nailing the speech patterns and attitude from the previous film, and the so-reliable Julianne Moore winds up being a poor surrogate for Foster's pluckiness." |

Hard Boiled (1992) |
"Woo's most entertaining work." |

Hard Candy (2005) |
"Hard Candy ultimately lacks the balls to follow through on its most discomfiting promises, choosing instead to wallow in a surfeit of final-reel tidiness." |

Hardware (1990) |
"They say all you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun. But if you've got a girl and a killer robot, then you're really onto something." |

Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1920) |
"One of the earliest films that takes misogyny and sexual repression as its subject." |

Tomato B |
He Got Game (1998) |
"He Got Game is flawed, but sharp and moving." |
Bryant Frazer |
Tomato A- |
Heat (1995) |
"As notable as the cinematography is De Niro's performance, which helps you remember why he became a legend in the first place." |
Bryant Frazer |
Tomato A+ |
Heavenly Creatures (1994) |
"The film's structure demands rational and beautiful segues from the real world into fantasia, a ballet of sensibilities that Jackson pulls off without a misstep." |
Bryant Frazer |
Tomato B |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"Brimming with confidence and new ideas, writer/director Guillermo del Toro has made Hellboy II a different kind of film -- itself a satisfying development." |

High Fidelity (2000) |
"Beyond all the knockabout performances, the chief pleasure in High Fidelity is, I would guess, recognizing yourself or someone you care about in its pages." |

Splat D |
The Hitcher (1985) |
"Without the original film's subtext of male bonding gone awry, nothing here has a shred of psychological resonance." |

Hollywood Ending (2002) |
"Settling into this one feels once again like being in the company of an old friend, albeit one who’s grown a little forgetful and doddering with the years." |

Hollywoodland (2006) |
"The film oughta be Reeves' story -- except the filmmakers, like everyone else, couldn't figure out how the poor guy really died." |

Hulk (2003) |

The Human Stain (2003) |
"Sensitively written and directed but spectacularly miscast." |

Tomato B |
Humanité (1999) |
"I'm not sure what to make of this disturbingly ordinary film, which has suffering as its ultimate subject." |
Bryant Frazer |

Hunger (2008) |
"So effectively depicts a special kind of hell that it makes you root for those poor sons-of-bitches in the prison regardless of what they may have done to earn their place there." |
Bryant Frazer |
Tomato B |
The Hunted (2003) |
"Indifferently written but executed with the air of an aging artisan trying his groove back on for size." |
Bryant Frazer |
Tomato B+ |
The Hurt Locker (2009) |
"An affectionate but ambiguous tribute to the career soldier that's free of condescension, cynicism, or jingoism." |
