    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."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    Entrails of a Beautiful Woman (1986)

    " For better or for worse, Komizu has pushed the boundaries of bad taste even further."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    Marebito (2004)

    " Resembles a nightmare more than a horror film, with logic and resolution taking a back seat to atmosphere and imagination."

    Premonition (2004)

    " Premonition isn't a bad film; it's just a very average one."

    H (2002)

    " Beyond the script difficulties, H is simply too derivative to be satisfying."

    Koma ()

    " A decent psycho-thriller with plenty of style and a fistful of nice twists."

    Acacia (2003)

    " Park is adept at cranking up the tension, imbuing seemingly pedestrian scenes of family life with a dark and sinister undercurrent."

    Marronnier (2004)

    " For the right viewer, Marronnier is a special find indeed: quirky, imaginative, and often funny."

    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."

    Infection (2004)

    The Sin Nombre (1999)

    " Looking beyond the narrative flaws, The Nameless is clearly the work of a capable director. Balagueró and his cinematographer create a wonderfully grimy atmosphere."

    A.Li.Ce (1999)

    Alive (2004)

    Ju-on: The Curse (2000)

    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."
