The Abandoned (2007) |
"It is, to put it simply, a totally kick-ass horror movie that should be seen by every self-respecting fear film fan." |
Lucius Gore |
|
 |
The Abandoned (2007) |
"This horror flick is atmospheric and often frightening, but the lack of a solid narrative creates a lethargic pace." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
3.5/4 |
The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1972) |
"Director Fuest brings an enormous sense of art-deco style and grand guingol humor to the affair ..." |
Lucius Gore |
|
 |
The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1972) |
"The perfect combination of horror and humor." |

Alien (1979) |
"Revisiting Alien: Ridley Scott" |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
 |
Alien (1979) |
"Alien proved that material derided as B-movie fodder could be handled with finesse and glossy production values, without diminishing the thrills or polishing over the hard-edged horror." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
 |
Alien Resurrection (1997) |
"After the disappointing Alien 3, this fourth film in the franchise represents a marked improvement, but it fails to match the level established in the first two films." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
 |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"It's exactly what you would expect it to be, as long as you don't expect too much." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
 |
Aliens (1986) |
"Cameron's strength lies in solid storytelling in the muscular fashion that he stages the action, creating exciting thrills and intense suspense without ever descending into the mere mechanical." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
 |
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
"Well, it's official: the Road to Hell is pretty much paved over ... the Strause Brothers ... expressed their [good] intention to return to the dark, scary tone of 1979's Alien, yet Requiem is just about as bad as its 2004 predecessor." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
3/4 |
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2008) |
"The film is pretty good, but suffers a little bit from serious-itis." |
Lucius Gore |

Alligator (1980) |
"Retrospective: Agressive Alligators and Killer Crocodiles" |

An American Carol (2008) |
"Dissing Dickens' Ghost Story" |

|
 |
American Psycho (2000) |
"Christian Bale is outstanding in his performance." |
Ian Ebright |
|
 |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"This is a slightly better-than-expected remake of the 1979 film of the same name." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
2/4 |
And Now the Screaming Starts (1973) |
"The film is suprisingly bloodless, considering the fact that it received an R rating, and despite the fact that a demon rape is part of the storyline, there's precious little skin." |
Lucius Gore |
|
3/4 |
And Soon the Darkness (1970) |
"Some downplay the effectiveness of this film because of its slow pace. I find it only adds to the tension." |
Lucius Gore |
|
 |
Army of Darkness (1992) |
"Raimi's strength lies in his manic inventiveness %u2013 which is somewhat in abeyance here, as he tries injecting some traditional plot elements into the old formula." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
3.5/4 |
Asylum (1972) |
"One of the best anthology horror films ever made" |
Lucius Gore |
|
 |
The Attic |
"Trying to lend visual style to this kind of material is a bit like performing surgery on a mangled corpse: the effort merely further mutilates an already dead body." |
Steve Biodrowski |
|
 |
Automaton Transfusion (2006) |
"It rocks with an incredible energy thanks to hardcore metal music, incredibly over-the-top gore effects, and an awesomely impressive dedication to playing its horror straight." |
Steve Biodrowski |
