Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato
5/5

Aftermath/Genesis (1994)

"A truly eerie and beautiful silent film that speaks volumes."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat
0/5

Alone in the Dark (2005)

"How Uwe Boll manages to scrape together enough investment money to give wing to this type of overblown, amateurish gibberish is truly a mystery of the cosmos..."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato

Alone With Her (2007)

"An unsettling tale of modern espionage horror."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

"Andrew Lloyd Webber is... a shallow, giftless dilettante whose hackneyed McOperas are an embarrassment to the art form."

John W. Bowen

Splat

Battle Royale II (2003)

"Requiem is stupid to the point of aggravation and long enough to qualify as torture under the Geneva Convention."

Dave Alexander

Tomato

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2007)

"Glosserman's surprisingly polished debut feature is as respectful to the slasher horror film as it is thoughtful, making Behind the Mask one of the best slasher films %u2013 or meta-slasher films %u2013 you're likely to see."

Paul Corupe

Tomato

Beyond Re-Animator (2003)

"Incredibly stupid but mercilessly funny."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat

Cursed (2005)

"There are so many contemptuous things to say about this disastrous Teen Wolf/Lost Boys clone that I’m not sure where to begin."

Chris Alexander

Splat

Darkness (2003)

"Darkness is a ridiculous film choked with genre clichés and stolen scares, yet there’s something genuinely dark and nasty wrapped inside all that ridiculousness..."

Dave Alexander

Tomato
5/5

The Devil's Backbone (2001)

"A treasure of artistic elements and genres synthesized together in a flawless cohesion of cinematic and visual poetry."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato
2.5/5

The Devil's Rejects (2005)

"The Devil’s Rejects plays out like the kind of film everyone thought House was gonna be – a retrofied, nasty horror homage."

Rod Gudino

Tomato

The Eye (2003)

"The Eye is definitely a triumph of style over substance but, nevertheless, it’s been far too long since I’ve been genuinely spooked by a horror film."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato

Final Destination 2 (2003)

"'Make no mistake, without the slicing, dicing, filleting, and pureeing, this flick is a recipe for boredom. But like its predecessor, I was expecting a bloodless teen snorefest and got something several sanguineous degrees better!'"

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat

The Forgotten (2004)

"The Forgotten, though not an outright bad movie, is yet another frustrating example of a Hollywood film that simply lacks the courage of its convictions."

Chris Alexander

Tomato
4/5

Frankenhooker (1990)

No article available.

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato

Ginger Snaps 2 : Unleashed (2004)

"Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed features the same witty, honest dialogue as the original, with improved music, make-up and werewolf effects."

Liisa Ladouceur

Splat

Godsend (2004)

"Plagues of locusts and planet-drowning floods are also heaven-sent, and would probably be infinitely more pleasant to sit through."

Barrett Hooper

Tomato

Hellboy (2004)

"'This just in: Hellboy is real! ... the big red ape has been spotted at theatres all over town and the public reaction isn’t quite what the B.P.R.D. expected – they love him!'"

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato
4/5

High Tension (2005)

"While suffering from an infuriating third act twist... and the censor’s scissors, it’s still the kind of crackerjack horror show genre fans should support with open wallets."

Sean Plummer

Tomato
8/10

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

"Gore disciples rejoice: Alexandre Aja's remake of The Hills Have Eyes hits like a hot blood baptism."

Dave Alexander

Splat

The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)

"Another dip in the increasingly shallow remake and sequel-to-remake pool."

Splat

Hostel (2006)

"Buried somewhere in this movie is an interesting concept, but the delivery lacks imagination and suspense, and the plot is largely predictable."

Rod Gudino

Tomato

Hot Fuzz (2007)

"A hilarious send-up to police action films like Super Cop and Bad Boys 2, fuelled by British black humour and a few cartoonish but great gore gags."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat

House of the Dead (2003)

"If you want to see what a cinematic piece of dog barf looks like, go see House of the Dead, otherwise do yourself a favour and play the video game, it’s far more entertaining."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato

In My Skin (2003)

"In My Skin is not for everyone, but should you brave this film you will be watching the work of a major cinematic artist in de Van."

Christopher Heard

Tomato

Incident at Loch Ness (2004)

"Incident at Loch Ness may not be first film to explore the mystery of the Loch Ness monster, but it might just be the best."

Paul Corupe

Tomato

Infection (2004)

"A creepy flick that, thankfully, doesn’t rely on dead, long-haired women to deliver its scares."

Sean Plummer

Tomato

Irreversible (2003)

"Irreversible is I Spit On Your Grave for the intellectual set ..."

Rod Gudino

Tomato

Leprechaun - Back 2 tha Hood (2003)

"This self conscious dopey time waster is far better than it needs to be and in its own, dumb ***, base way, is probably the funniest movie I've seen all year."

Chris Alexander

Tomato

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2004)

"The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is teeming with terrible dialogue, cardboard thespians, corny props snatched off eBay and mutilations, mutilations, MUTILATIONS!"

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato
5/5

May (2003)

"'May is nothing short of brilliant. It is likely the most original horror story I have seen in years.'"

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat
1/5

Night Watch (2005)

"As slick as any mega-budget American movie... but it’s also as cliché and soulless, and a lot more convoluted."

Dave Alexander

Tomato
10/10

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

"A gorgeously executed and disturbingly violent moving picture poem that bravely flies in the face of genre convention and stands alone in its purpose."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato

The Passion of the Christ (2004)

"The Passion of the Christ is the Jesus story that’s been begging to get made since Charlie Heston kicked off his robes and sandals."

Rod Gudino

Tomato
5/10

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

"In a time when the serial killer subgenre is practically the definition of derivative, Perfume is %u2013 for better or for worse %u2013 a whiff of something uniquely fresh."

Rod Gudino

Tomato
5/5

The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

No article available.

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato
2.5/5

Premonition (2004)

"While [J-horror] dies a derivative death, Premonition is being touted as the next big thing. But should it be?"

Aaron Lupton

Tomato
3/5

Rawhead Rex (1987)

"A terrible adaptation of a fantastic Clive Barker story from his Books of Blood. Despite the goofy mask the demon wears, Rex does have some teeth; it earns points for the Rex-urinating-on-willing-priest's-face scene."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)

"RE2 is a dreary, incoherent mess of a movie, failing on almost every conceivable level."

Chris Alexander

Splat

The Return (2006)

"Stick to vampires, Buffy."

Aaron Lupton

Tomato
5/5

Rock 'N' Roll High School (1978)

"What punk rock lovin' fiend doesn't love the Ramones?"

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat

Saw III (2006)

"The only brains on display are the ones that get drilled out of human skulls."

Chris Alexander

Tomato
5/5

Season of the Witch (1976)

No article available.

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

"A clever spoof film that’s actually well-written, witty, dynamically shot and edited, thankfully lacking the mentality of expelled phlegm."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Tomato

Shikoku (1999)

"Shikoku, like its phantasmagoric anti-heroine, occupies a misty middle ground worth visiting."

Sean Plummer

Tomato
10/10

Stephen King's The Mist (2007)

"The final sequences are a fitting good-night from an intelligent, ballsy director who will hopefully scoop up the rights to a few more of King's unfilmed gems."

James Grainger

Tomato

Suicide Club (2002)

"An exceptionally unique movie dying to be rescued from what is essentially a mild case of hubris."

Rod Gudino

Tomato

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

"If I hadn’t already seen the original film, and wasn’t desensitized from a lifelong horror addiction, I think I might have been frightened by some of it."

Jovanka Vuckovic

Splat

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)

"That "Zzzzzz" ringing through the theatre during The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning ain't just a chainsaw, it's snoring."

Dave Alexander

Tomato

Toolbox Murders

"Toolbox Murders is arguably the movie everyone has been waiting for Hooper to make since Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

Rod Gudino
