Posted Jan 27, 2013
2.5/5 65% Mama (2013) " 'Mama' is horror film loaded with great ideas and multiple scares, but it's deflated by horrendous CGI and ridiculous exposition." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Jan 16, 2013
2.5/5 19% Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) " This is the inherent problem with 'Texas Chainsaw 3D' [is that] not only is it not brutal, it's not fun either." — Bloody Disgusting

4.5/5 59% Maniac (2013) " 'Maniac' goes from 0-60 in the blink of an eye as it opens with a shocking kill that will have horror fans salivating for more...It's not for the faint of heart." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Oct 26, 2012
2/5 25% Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) " 'Paranormal Activity 4' is such dribble. It's trite and cliche to its own fault, a lazy and cheap replica of a 'Paranormal Activity' movie. " — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Oct 17, 2012
1.5/5 14% Smiley (2012) " The turgid, unnecessary and deeply stupid complexity of 'Smiley' will leave audiences frowning." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Oct 9, 2012
1.5/5 11% House at the End of the Street (2012) " While its not bad-bad, it's just so poorly conceived that it should have premiered on Lifetime...It very well may be the most generic horror film ever made." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 21, 2012
4.5/5 87% Frankenweenie (2012) " I don't think Burton has ever connected with his audience like this... ['Frankenweenie'] is overflowing with passion, creativity and genuine heart." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 20, 2012
3/5 30% Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) " As far as a Paul W.S. Anderson 'Resident Evil' goes, ['Retribution' is] a mind-melting popcorn film gelled with insane amounts of action-packed eye-candy." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 14, 2012
5/10 39% The ABCs of Death (2013) " Even through the film's best shorts the project just felt overtly long and fragmented...while some of the shorts warranted a perfect score, others deserved much less." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 13, 2012
3/5 56% Come Out And Play (2013) " If anything, 'Come Out and Play' is generic to the core, a cut and paste horror thriller that still manages to deliver on both production value and intensity." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 11, 2012

Posted Sep 11, 2012
1.5/5 33% No One Lives (2013) " 'No One Lives' is generic "shock" cinema that was a result of 'Hostel,' which is why it feels like it sets horror back 10 years." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 11, 2012
3.5/5 —— (Here Comes the Devil () " There are intense sexual situations, coming-of-age themes, insane supernatural jolts, and gory moments; it's got a little bit of everything for the hardcore horror nut." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 11, 2012
1.5/5 75% Berberian Sound Studio (2013) " While beautifully crafted, it's impossible to recommend this to anyone who hopes to have an entertaining movie-going experience." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 11, 2012
2/5 47% The Lords of Salem (2013) " 'The Lords of Salem' could only be recommended as background visuals as your jamming to old school White Zombie." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 11, 2012
4/5 78% Dredd (2012) " 'Dredd' is a cinematic experience [with] blissful, off-the-wall violence that only Lionsgate has the balls to deliver." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Aug 30, 2012
2/5 4% The Apparition (2012) " 'Apparition' is unfocused and overdeveloped. [It's] bogged down with heavy exposition, lack of rules, and a lackluster performance from Sebastian Stan." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Aug 24, 2012
2.5/5 87% ParaNorman (2012) " [While ParaNorman] takes stop-motion animation to an entirely new level...on [the] surface [it's] a beautiful piece of work that's [actually] rotten at its core." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Aug 3, 2012
3/5 35% Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012) " While the character development & screenplay are a complete mess, ALVH, at times, is an incredibly interesting movie [with] some brilliant CGI work & incredible choreography.." — Bloody Disgusting

Posted Jun 1, 2012
3/5 13% Piranha 3DD (2012) " It delivers just enough to make the hardcore horror hounds happy. It's worth taking a dip in this pool - while there's not much bite, there's still plenty of fun to be had." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted May 30, 2012
4/5 41% Lovely Molly (2012) " Sanchez shows tremendous restraint in keeping it simple and in the end, rewards the audience with a haunting little film that's ultimately timeless." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Apr 10, 2012
5/10 63% Sinister (2012) " 'Sinister' is so incredibly stupid. But it IS SCARY. The best way to describe it is '8MM' meets 'Paranormal Activity.'" — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Mar 11, 2012
4/5 92% The Cabin in the Woods (2012) " The strength of 'Cabin' comes in the playful nature of the screenplay. Goddard and Whedon play everything tongue and cheek in a completely meta atmosphere." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Mar 10, 2012

Posted Oct 14, 2011
2/5 36% The Thing (2011) " Everything that was great about the 1982 version is ignored in this 2011 crap that's nothing more than a boring CGI promo-reel." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Oct 12, 2011
2/5 6% Dream House (2011) " 'Dream House' is another one of those slow-stepping snoozers that forgets scares, suspense, drama and pacing." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 30, 2011
3.5/5 29% The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011) " Six's flick is an over-the-top and in-your-face splatterfest that spends an hour and half making one bold statement: Centipede 2 isn't real life; it's just a movie. " — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 23, 2011
1/5 45% Twixt () " 'Twixt' a bland, cheesy, poorly shot snoozer that's not even fun as a midnight movie. " — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 14, 2011

Posted Sep 13, 2011
4/5 81% The Skin I Live In (2011) " It's overly complex, yet Almidivar somehow finds a way to wrangle the beast in... the full work of art is stunning." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 10, 2011
0/5 11% Creature (2011) " [It's so bad that] the footage should have been left in the swamp for the alligators to eat." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 8, 2011
3.5/5 85% Contagion (2011) " 'Contagion' is masterfully competent filmmaking; even on its worse day it's a good movie."" — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 3, 2011
3/5 16% Shark Night 3D (2011) " Lower any expectations you may have had, expect a flurry of terrible acting and chalky exposition, and 'Shark Night 3D' will deliver on a very minimal basis; it's dumb fun on the lowest common denominator." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 2, 2011
2.5/5 25% Apollo 18 (2011) " If anything, Apollo 18 lacks creative intensity. It's a very lazy attempt at bringing terror to the moon. In fact, it's not even scary, unless of course you consider a sleeping dude opening his eyes and yelling into the camera "frightening"" — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Sep 2, 2011
5/5 77% Melancholia (2011) " 'Melancholia' is literally a book on filmmaking, a flawless piece of art that should be shown to every aspiring director/writer/etc. until the end of the Earth, and the universe." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Aug 26, 2011
4.5/5 61% Final Destination 5 (2011) " It's suspense overload that had me squirming in my seat like a 5-year-old watching "Barney". Quale squeezes every ounce of air out of your body & leaves little room to breathe" — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Aug 10, 2011
2/5 44% Cowboys & Aliens (2011) " 'Cowboys & Aliens' is a bland, faceless, callow, moronic, poorly assembled action movie that felt more like playing with plastic cowboys and Indians than shooting an actual gun." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Jul 28, 2011
3.5/5 58% Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2011) " 'Dark 'is an engaging, well-paced and scary horror film... it's a gateway horror flick, one that will push the younger generation into our sick and twisted world. " — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Jun 27, 2011
4.5/5 82% Super 8 (2011) " 'Super 8' can be simplified as 'E.T.' meets 'Cloverfield'... [it] truly is the beginning and the end of summer blockbusters..." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted May 31, 2011
3/5 75% Stake Land (2011) " Even through all of the flaws, Mickle and Damici deliver a highly ambitious film that was probably too much to handle." — Bloody Disgusting
Posted Apr 21, 2011
4/5 58% Scream 4 (2011) " Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson were triumphant in delivering a fresh, smart, twisted, and ultra-violent slasher sequel that will not only please fans of the original trilogy, but introduce an entire new generation of kids to horror." — Bloody Disgusting
