Alone With Her (2007) |
"An unsettling tale of modern espionage horror." |
Jovanka Vuckovic |
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 |
Splat |
The Hills Have Eyes II (2007) |
"Another dip in the increasingly shallow remake and sequel-to-remake pool." |
|
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 |
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 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 |
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 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 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 |
Splat |
The Return (2006) |
"Stick to vampires, Buffy." |
Aaron Lupton |
Splat |
Saw III (2006) |
"The only brains on display are the ones that get drilled out of human skulls." |
Chris Alexander |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 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 |
Splat |
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) |
"RE2 is a dreary, incoherent mess of a movie, failing on almost every conceivable level." |
Chris Alexander |
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 |
The Village (2004) |
"Still one inventive, scary and heartfelt movie." |
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 |
Beyond Re-Animator (2003) |
"Incredibly stupid but mercilessly funny." |
Jovanka Vuckovic |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 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 |
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 |
Tomato |
Suicide Club (2002) |
"An exceptionally unique movie dying to be rescued from what is essentially a mild case of hubris." |
Rod Gudino |
Tomato 5/5 |
Uzumaki (2002) |
"'Uzumaki is a masterfully rendered living portrait of warped, apocalyptic art...'" |
Jovanka Vuckovic |
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 |
Shikoku (1999) |
"Shikoku, like its phantasmagoric anti-heroine, occupies a misty middle ground worth visiting." |
Sean Plummer |
Tomato 5/5 |
Aftermath/Genesis (1994) |
"A truly eerie and beautiful silent film that speaks volumes." |
Jovanka Vuckovic |

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 |
Tomato 5/5 |
Rock 'N' Roll High School (1978) |
"What punk rock lovin' fiend doesn't love the Ramones?" |
