5/5	"*With The Dark Knight* Nolan has crafted what may be the greatest superhero film to date.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
2/5	"The Signal has an incredibly interesting premise, which makes it all the more disappointing that filmmakers David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry, and Dan Bush really have no clue what to do with it." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jun 27, 2008	The Signal (2007)	55%
3/5	"Machine Girl is a creative Japanese splatterfest that has just enough heart to make up for its numerous shortcomings." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jun 17, 2008	The Machine Girl (2008)	63%
4/5	"The Incredible Hulk is the film I was hoping for a few years ago before Ang Lee screwed it all up." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%

4/5	"A lean, mean, and extremely focused French horror film." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jun 4, 2008	Them (2007)	63%
3/5	"Diary of the Dead fits quite nicely into the modern zombie film renaissance that's been rocking the horror world for the past few years." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jun 3, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
3/5	"Frontier(s) is just an average horror film with some above average gore." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jun 2, 2008	Frontier(s) (2008)	65%
2/5	"Black Roses has a great idea at work in terms of the story. It's just too bad that Fasano didn't have the budget and the talent to bring out the full potential inherent in the film's premise." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted May 21, 2008	Black Roses (1988)	n/a
3/5	"When Crystal Skull is kicking the action into high gear, it's pretty entertaining. The problem is, Spielberg (who's usually spot on with the pacing of his movies) lets the film bog down far too often." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted May 19, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
3/5	"Baget is another up-and-coming horror filmmaker to keep an eye on." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Apr 21, 2008	WrestleManiac (2006)	n/a
4/5	"The Judd Apatow comedy train gets back on track." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Apr 17, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%

3/5	"War has a ton of problems, but it manages to overcome most of them...barely." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Mar 24, 2008	War (2007)	14%
2/5	"Another day, another Asian horror film remake..." -- Flipside Movie Emporium Posted Mar 21, 2008	Shutter (2008)	7%
2/5	"Drillbit Taylor is predictable, unfocused, and painfully unfunny." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Mar 20, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
4/5	"With nary a nod to plausibility Michael Davis has crafted one of the more entertaining action films to come along in recent years." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Mar 17, 2008	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	66%
4/5	"Darkon provides a fascinating look at a subculture most of us never knew existed." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Mar 10, 2008	Darkon (2007)	89%
3/5	"*Bolstered by assured direction and fine performances from most of the ensemble cast, State's Evidence* manages to become greater than the sum of its parts.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Mar 8, 2008	State's Evidence (2006)	50%
4/5	"*Based on a true story, The Bank Job* has something most modern day caper films are missing--a sense of verisimilitude.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Mar 6, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	78%
4/5	"*This is Rambo* for a new generation--bigger, more violent, and yet somehow a little smarter and nuanced too. It's not high art, but who expects that from a Rambo movie to begin with?*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Jan 24, 2008	Rambo (2008)	35%
1/5	"Chaos is a brutal viewing experience--for all the wrong reasons." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jan 24, 2008	Chaos (2005)	6%
2/5	"*You can't polish a turd--a point that Divergence* drives home quite handily.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Jan 23, 2008	Divergence (2006)	n/a
3/5	"Heartstopper features a hodgepodge of ideas stolen from better films, but it's still watchable...sort of like a car wreck." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jan 22, 2008	Heartstopper (2006)	n/a
5/5	"Cloverfield is an intense and engaging monster movie that may very well breathe life back into a dead genre while demonstrating that there's fertile soil left to be tilled in this particular cinematic field." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jan 16, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
5/5	"The Girl Next Door is the best horror film of 2007" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jan 14, 2008	The Girl Next Door (2007)	69%
1/5	"*Far more Dungeons & Dragons* than Lord of the Rings, In the Name of the King is your typical Uwe Boll flick.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Jan 11, 2008	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)	5%
3/5	"Reeker doesn't stink nearly as much as the title might suggest." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Jan 4, 2008	Reeker (2005)	67%
5/5	"*To call Exiled* Johnnie To's finest film would be an understatement.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Jan 2, 2008	Exiled (2007)	81%
4/5	"Adam Green's feature film debut, Hatchet, isn't anything we haven't seen before as genre fans--but it's one of several films this year that actually tries to do something besides "reboot" an old franchise." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Dec 16, 2007	Hatchet ()	n/a
3/5	"*Horror fans looking for a zombie flick that's more concerned with action than out and out scares should give Flight of the Living Dead* a look.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Dec 14, 2007	Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane (2007)	80%
3/5	"Black Sheep isn't perfect, but director Jonathan King certainly shows a lot of promise." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Dec 10, 2007	Black Sheep (2007)	71%
4/5	"*This outing won't replace the original as anyone's favorite of the series, but it is a worthy addition to the Die Hard* canon.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Dec 4, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%

1/5	"*Sometimes you can watch a bad film and say "well, there was a good movie buried in there somewhere". Rise: Blood Hunter* is not one of those movies.*" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films* Posted Nov 16, 2007	Rise: Blood Hunter (2007)	36%

3/5	"Haeckel's Tale isn't amongst the best episodes of the first season of Masters of Horror, but it's not amongst the worst, either." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Oct 22, 2007	Masters of Horror - John McNaughton: Haeckel's Tale (2006)	n/a

3/5	"It's hard to come away from Live Feed without thinking about what might have been with a better troupe of actors and a script that had been allowed to simmer a bit more before being committed to film." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Feb 28, 2007	Live Feed (2005)	n/a
3/5	"Dead Men Walking is not deep, it's not a character study, and it's certainly not epic in its scope%u2014but it promises lots of ghoulish zombie action and shotgun blasts to the head and it delivers those in spades." -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Feb 28, 2007	Dead Men Walking (2005)	n/a
4/5	"Feast has all the earmarkings of one of those cult films best seen at midnight, in a crowded theater, with a rowdy audience of horror geeks and drunken college kids. It's a raucous, gory, and wild ride%u2014let's hope it finds the appreciative audience it" -- Mike Bracken's Horror Films Posted Feb 28, 2007	Feast (2006)	55%
