The Rage (2008)
"This is a splatter-filled tale that feels like a throwback to '80s direct-to-video horror, when a bunch of prosthetic makeup covered in blood was all you needed to make a low-budget movie."
Steve Biodrowski
Rasen (1998)
"Overall, the film feels stilted, academic, and more than a little dull as it plows through its exposition."
Tomato 4/4
Re-Animator (1985)
"It's so politically incorrect that there is no way anyone would be able to make it today."

Re-Cycle (2006)
"Re-cycle...seeks to discover previously unexplored pathways sheltering unfamiliar frights. If, in the end, the trip rambles aimlessly through some dull patches, you have to admire the Pang's effort to boldly go somewhere new."
The Reaping (2007)
"Although terrible, this film does raise ... interesting questions: Why does Hollywood keep ripping off THE OMEN? Why would anyone continue hiring Stephen Hopkins to direct a movie? Why would two-time Oscar-winner Hilary Swank agre to be in this mess?"
Tomato 3/4
Red Sands (2008)
"While not a perfect film, it was visionary and impressive given a tiny budget."
Reincarnation (2006)
"Shimizu's prodigious talent as a scare-master are still on display, so the film features a handful of virtuoso sequences."
Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
"No, fans of "Mamma Mia!" won't be too thrilled with "Repo! The Genetic Opera.""
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
"The franchise is becoming almost as mindless as the zombies it portrays, lumbeirng on with only repetitive instinct, while all true vitality has long since passed away."
Return of Count Yorga (1971)
"This sequel to Count Yorga, Vampire benefits from a slightly bigger budget and a considerably glossier look to the cinematography."
Return of the Jedi (1983)
"Return is such a dud that no amount of [Special Edition] reworking could have saved it."
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
"An amusing, punk variation on the familiar zombie theme."
Ring Virus (1999)
"Like America's The Ring, this South Korean remake of Ringu simply rehashes the original with a new cast speaking the language of its target audience."
Ringu (1998)
"Director Hideo Nakata's film is a minor masterpiece -- a low-budget horror gem."
Rogue (2008)
"If you want to enjoy being scared [...] then this rampaging reptile is for you."

"Retrospective: Agressive Alligators and Killer Crocodiles"
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
"... a serious effort that gradually and carefully constructs a mounting sense of paranoia ..."
The Ruins (2008)
"... it's only after you've left the theater that you realize just how totally, utterly ludicrous the movie really is."
