Tomato 3/4 |
The Baby (1973) |
"... the film has the look and feel of a TV cop drama, and a politically incorrect, outlandish storyline that couldn't be filmed today." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bad Biology (2008) |
"... 'Bad Biology' is intelligent, funny and sick as hell" |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 4/4 |
Battle Royale (2000) |
"A disturbing film to say the least, and definitely one that could never have been made in the United States." |
Lucius Gore |
Splat |
Battlefield Earth (2000) |
"In Battlefield Earth, it`s all flash for no reason." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
Bay of Blood (1971) |
"Bava ... uses the scenario the way a virtuoso musician uses a simple chord progression as an accompaniment for an inspired solo ..." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Splat |
The Beach (2000) |
"An underdeveloped attempt at storytelling that is cleverly masked with some beautiful scenery." |
Ian Ebright |
Tomato |
The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953) |
"...admirably stands the test of time. Despite its financial restrictions, it is a solid effort that works on all levels. Not a masterpiece, perhaps, but definitely a classic of its genre..." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Splat |
Bee Movie (2007) |
"... may not be "about nothing," but it is not about much more than the puny pun in the title." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 3/4 |
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2007) |
"A rather funny "Scream"-like cross between a mockumentary and a direct-to-video slasher movie, "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" is custom-made for horror fans, but it isn't remotely scary and people that aren't already steeped in the lore of t" |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato |
Being John Malkovich (1999) |
"A tale of uncompromising originality." |
Ian Ebright |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Beneath Still Waters (2005) |
"Not as horrible as some of the direct-to-DVD stuff hitting shelves, but a weak movie all the same." |
Lucius Gore |
Splat |
Beowulf (1999) |
"[Beowful is] a bizarre hybrid, as strange (if not quite as ghastly) as the half-human, half-demon Grendel that haunts the first act." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 3/4 |
Berserk! (1967) |
"This role actually seems to strangely mirror aspects of her own life, as chronicled in that kiss-and-tell autobiography by her adopted daughter." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Beyond Re-Animator (2003) |
"This director's work has varied from the sublime ("The Dentist") to the awful ("Faust"). This lies somewhere in between, more toward the good than the bad." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1969) |
"Those familiar with Argento's films should be able to see the groundwork that was being laid for later classics like "Deep Red" in this one." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato |
The Black Cat (1934) |
"No monsters but lots of atmosphere, this is a classic of the genre." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Black Cat (1981) |
"This is a decent Fulci film, delivering all the sleaze and some of the splatter you can expect from the Italian goremeister." |
Lucius Gore |
Splat |
Black Christmas (2006) |
"This ill-conceived remake takes the premise of the effective original and turns it into a routine gorefest." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 3.25/4 |
Black Devil Doll (2009) |
"Director Jonathan Lewis managed to put together a hilarious, over-the-top, sex-filled gorefest on a shoestring budget -- and somehow managed to afford James Bond-style opening credits for the event." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato |
Black Sabbath (1963) |
"Only one episode [of this anthology] reaches the critical mass that explodes into the kind of absolute terror that will satisfy skeptic and fan alike, but that is more than enough to make this essential viewing." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
Black Sunday (1960) |
"A unique piece of Gothic visual poetry that retains its power to thrill and entertain with all the tenacious vivacity of its centuries-dead vampire-witch, who refuses to lie quietly in her grave." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Splat |
Blade (1998) |
"Allows Wesley Snipes to show off his athletic prowess, but the storytelling leaves quite a bit to be desired." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 3/4 |
A Blade in the Dark (1983) |
"Considering how low the budget obviously was, Bava does a great job crafting a classic giallo mystery. The film may even have inspired Wes Craven's "Scream 3," which was also a horror movie about the making of a horror movie." |
Lucius Gore |

Blade Runner - The Final Cut (1982) |
"There is, quite simply a texture to the work in BLADE RUNNER that makes you feel as if you can almost reach up onto the screen and feel it. The movie is much more than a pretty light show; it is a compelling, mesmerizing vision of the future, a self-conta" |

Splat |
Blade: Trinity (2004) |
"a move that reeks of market manipulation, a couple of young sidekicks are introduced in a lame attempt to stire the usual formual into something new." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Blair Witch Project (1999) |
""Blair Witch" should go down in history as proof that it doesn't take a big budget to make a great movie, in fact it may not even take a budget at all." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Blood and Lace (1971) |
"An awesome, unjustly unavailable early '70s horror film, ...This film's opening murder must have inspired John Carpenter, who filmed the first killing in Halloween in a similar way." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Blood on Satan's Claw (1970) |
"A little hard to find these days, but well worth searching for, 'Blood on Satan's Claw' is a classic." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bloody Birthday (1981) |
"What the film lacks in story it makes up for with a high body count and plenty of gratuitous sex." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Book of Blood (2008) |
"... a horror movie for adults." |
Lucius Gore |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) |
"This film was cranked out awfully fast." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato |
Borderland (2007) |
"Borderland takes this libertarian view of paradise (no law, no government, just rich people doing what they want) and turns it on its head in a particularly brutal and ugly way, without expressing a political point of view in a heavy-handed way." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Splat 1/4 |
Boy Eats Girl (2005) |
"... [L]ike a lot of uber-low budget living dead films, it ultimately suffers from a lack of zombies." |
Lucius Gore |
Splat |
Brand Upon The Brain! (2006) |
"It is almost an unintended parody of the excesses of art house filmmaking - like something that would have shown up on Dan Akroyd's old Saturday Night Live vignette "Bad Cinema."" |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
The Brides of Dracula (1960) |
"The film features the familiar elements (beautiful color cinematography, lavish sets, solid writing, strong performances), making this a worthy heir to its predecessor." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
Bridge to Terabithia (2007) |
"The fantasy scenes ... do not resonate with the mythic power of those in Pan's Labyrinth, but this is as moving a coming of age story as one could want." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
Broken (2008) |
"...grips your attention throughout, only to leave you unsatisfied at the end. Nevertheless, the journey is worth taking even if the destination is disappointing." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Burrowers (2009) |
"... proves once again that the old west still isn't the ideal place to set a monster movie." |
