Fresh B	N/A	Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007)	" In terms of pure entertainment, it's a hell of a lot more satisfying than any of the other sequels." Posted Oct 9, 2007
Fresh B-	Rotten 17%	Black Christmas (2006)	" *It might not break new ground, but within the confines of its genre, Black Christmas* has more than enough gruesome, gory fun to satisfy.**" Posted Dec 18, 2006
Fresh B	N/A	Sweet Home (1989)	" The pulsing soundtrack and eye-catching special effects are a long way from the subtle, metaphysical terrors of his later works, but it's still a superior horror film that deserves a wider audience." Posted Aug 14, 2006
Fresh B-	N/A	The Guard from Underground (1992)	" *Manages to evoke the same atmosphere of claustrophobic brutality as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre* (1974), but only for brief periods.**" Posted Aug 10, 2006
Rotten D	N/A	Rusted Body: Guts of a Virgin III (1987)	Click here to read article Posted Feb 25, 2006
Rotten D	N/A	Entrails of a Beautiful Woman (1986)	" For better or for worse, Komizu has pushed the boundaries of bad taste even further." Posted Feb 17, 2006
Rotten D	N/A	The Suicide Manual (2003)	" *Even with the lack of originality, The Suicide Manual* could have been an entertaining effort, were it not quite so dull and lifeless.**" Posted Feb 7, 2006
Rotten D	N/A	Entrails of a Virgin (1986)	" Only likely to appeal to a very selective audience, thanks to the zero-budget production values and the graphic, over-the-top approach to both violence and sexuality." Posted Jan 30, 2006
Rotten C-	N/A	Ring Virus (1999)	" Few fans will appreciate it as much as the Japanese or American versions, which are all of a consistently higher standard." Posted Jan 26, 2006
Fresh B	Rotten 41%	Marebito (2004)	" Resembles a nightmare more than a horror film, with logic and resolution taking a back seat to atmosphere and imagination." Posted Dec 8, 2005
Rotten C	N/A	Premonition (2004)	" Premonition isn't a bad film; it's just a very average one." Posted Aug 21, 2005
Rotten D	Fresh 80%	H (2002)	" Beyond the script difficulties, H is simply too derivative to be satisfying." Posted Jul 30, 2005
Fresh B-	N/A	Koma ()	" A decent psycho-thriller with plenty of style and a fistful of nice twists." Posted Jul 26, 2005
Fresh B-	N/A	Acacia (2003)	" Park is adept at cranking up the tension, imbuing seemingly pedestrian scenes of family life with a dark and sinister undercurrent." Posted Jul 11, 2005
Fresh B	N/A	Marronnier (2004)	" *For the right viewer, Marronnier* is a special find indeed: quirky, imaginative, and often funny.**" Posted Jul 2, 2005
Rotten C	N/A	Em Embalming (2005)	" It's certainly not the next hidden gem of the Japanese horror boom, and viewers expecting that are likely to come away frustrated." Posted May 31, 2005
Rotten C-	N/A	Infection (2004)	" After presenting us with a fairly strong beginning, Ochiai really doesn't have any idea how to end the film." Posted May 19, 2005
Rotten C+	Rotten 33%	The Sin Nombre (1999)	" *Looking beyond the narrative flaws, The Nameless* is clearly the work of a capable director. Balaguer� and his cinematographer create a wonderfully grimy atmosphere.**" Posted Mar 28, 2005
Rotten C+	N/A	A.Li.Ce (1999)	" Looks more like one of last year's PC games." Posted Feb 3, 2005
Rotten C	N/A	Alive (2004)	" *The film isn't a total failure, but it's unlikely to find favor with the same people who fell in love with Versus.*" Posted Feb 3, 2005
Rotten C+	N/A	Evil Dead Trap 2 (1991)	" By the time the credits roll the film has become tiresome and frustrating." Posted Jan 14, 2005
Fresh B-	Fresh 62%	Ju-on: The Curse (2000)	" *There is nothing here to rival Ringu's nerve-shredding climax, but there are several moments that should have most horror fans grinning with ghoulish delight.*" Posted Oct 30, 2004
Fresh A	Fresh 100%	King of the Ants (2004)	" Genuinely compelling." Posted Jul 7, 2004
Fresh B+	N/A	Evil Dead Trap (1988)	" *There's more to entertain and bemuse in the 90 minutes of Toshiharu Ikeda's cult masterpiece than there is in any number of post-Scream* slasher flicks.**" Posted Apr 16, 2004
Fresh B-	Rotten 33%	Battle Royale II (2003)	" Does not match up to the quality of its predecessor. However, the first half is well-constructed and interesting, and should impress fans of the first movie." Posted Feb 9, 2004
Fresh B+	Fresh 71%	The Experiment (2002)	" *Grim subject matter aside, The Experiment* is a rewarding film.**" Posted Feb 9, 2004
Fresh A+	Fresh 83%	Battle Royale (2000)	" An exceptional film. It's exciting, intelligent, touching, and bleakly humorous." Posted Jan 19, 2004
