Agrees with the Tomatometer 71% of the time.

Biography: I'm a 34-year-old film freelance film critic who specializes in Euro-horror, cult exploitation, and Asian action cinema. When not writing about film, you can find me expounding on the latest videogames at GameCritics.com. I think games are an artform that have the potential to become like film--and it's very interesting to watch the medium develop from its infancy. You can also catch me as The Horror Geek on Comedy Central's pop-culture game show, Beat the Geeks.

Fresh 5/5	Rotten 54%	Martyrs (2008)	" The film's sense of philosophy is what elevates Martyrs from the "torture porn" ghetto and places it alongside more intellectually unsettling films by men like Michael Haneke, Pier Pasolini, and Gaspar Noe." — The Horror Geek Posted May 11, 2009
