Tomato

Face Off (1997)

"Typical for Woo, the sheer force of the imagery is supposed to carry viewers past plot absurdities ... while at the same time, the director wants the audience to buy into the emotional lives of his obsessed and haunted characters."

Steve Biodrowski

Splat

The Faculty (1999)

"The Kevin Williamson formula (rewrite familiar horror scenarios and have the characters note the familiarity) has gotten to be a bore, and in this case it makes no sense."

Steve Biodrowski

Splat

Friday the 13th (2009)

"Less like a remake than just another tired sequel, the new film puts Jason through the same old moves with all the finese of a blind choreographer directing an arthritic dancer."

Steve Biodrowski

Splat

Friday the 13th - Part 2 (1981)

"Even crude techniques, when properly employed, can be effective, in a lowest-common-denominator kind of way."

Steve Biodrowski

Splat

Friday the 13th - Part 3 (1982)

"The funny thing is: as lame as the story and characters are, the movie actually works as a crowd-pleasing piece of junk entertainment."

Steve Biodrowski

Tomato

Friday the 13th - Part 6: Jason Lives (1986)

"Writer-director Tom McLoughlin strives to bend the familiar FRIDAY formula into a throwback to an earlier era of horror monsters. The results are mixed...but you have to give [him] credit for trying."

Steve Biodrowski

Tomato

Friday the 13th - Part 7: The New Blood (1988)

"You cannot really take the results seriously, but they are fun, offering both...something never really shown in a film before: Jason getting his ass handed to him on a platter."

Steve Biodrowski

Splat

Friday the 13th - Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

"This is easily the most disappointing of the original...movies - which is quite an achievement when you consider that the overall quality of the franchise was hardly high enough to raise expectations to a level that would allow for disappointment."

Steve Biodrowski

Splat

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

"It is a shame to see so much good talent giving such low-yield results."

Steve Biodrowski

Tomato

Full-Tilt Boogie (1997)

"An amusing account [of making From Dusk Till Dawn]... Much of it is off-the-cuff and entertaining."

Steve Biodrowski
