Aftermath/Genesis (1994/1998) |
|
"A truly eerie and beautiful silent film that speaks volumes." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
0/5 |
|
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
|
"How Uwe Boll manages to scrape together enough investment money to give wing to this type of overblown, amateurish gibberish is truly a mystery of the cosmos..." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Alone With Her (2007) |
|
"An unsettling tale of modern espionage horror." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
|
"Andrew Lloyd Webber is... a shallow, giftless dilettante whose hackneyed McOperas are an embarrassment to the art form." | |
John W. Bowen | |

|
Battle Royale II (2003) |
|
"Requiem is stupid to the point of aggravation and long enough to qualify as torture under the Geneva Convention." | |
Dave Alexander | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2007) |
|
"Glosserman's surprisingly polished debut feature is as respectful to the slasher horror film as it is thoughtful, making Behind the Mask one of the best slasher films %u2013 or meta-slasher films %u2013 you're likely to see." | |
Paul Corupe | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Beyond Re-Animator (2003) |
|
"Incredibly stupid but mercilessly funny." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Cursed (2005) |
|
"There are so many contemptuous things to say about this disastrous Teen Wolf/Lost Boys clone that I’m not sure where to begin." | |
Chris Alexander | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Darkness (2003) |
|
"Darkness is a ridiculous film choked with genre clichés and stolen scares, yet there’s something genuinely dark and nasty wrapped inside all that ridiculousness..." | |
Dave Alexander | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
5/5 |
|
The Devil's Backbone (2001) |
|
"A treasure of artistic elements and genres synthesized together in a flawless cohesion of cinematic and visual poetry." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
2.5/5 |
|
The Devil's Rejects (2005) |
|
"The Devil’s Rejects plays out like the kind of film everyone thought House was gonna be – a retrofied, nasty horror homage." | |
Rod Gudino | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Eye (2003) |
|
"The Eye is definitely a triumph of style over substance but, nevertheless, it’s been far too long since I’ve been genuinely spooked by a horror film." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Final Destination 2 (2003) |
|
"'Make no mistake, without the slicing, dicing, filleting, and pureeing, this flick is a recipe for boredom. But like its predecessor, I was expecting a bloodless teen snorefest and got something several sanguineous degrees better!'" | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Forgotten (2004) |
|
"The Forgotten, though not an outright bad movie, is yet another frustrating example of a Hollywood film that simply lacks the courage of its convictions." | |
Chris Alexander | |

Ginger Snaps 2 : Unleashed (2004) |
|
"Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed features the same witty, honest dialogue as the original, with improved music, make-up and werewolf effects." | |
Liisa Ladouceur | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Godsend (2004) |
|
"Plagues of locusts and planet-drowning floods are also heaven-sent, and would probably be infinitely more pleasant to sit through." | |
Barrett Hooper | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Hellboy (2004) |
|
"'This just in: Hellboy is real! ... the big red ape has been spotted at theatres all over town and the public reaction isn’t quite what the B.P.R.D. expected – they love him!'" | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
4/5 |
|
High Tension (2005) |
|
"While suffering from an infuriating third act twist... and the censor’s scissors, it’s still the kind of crackerjack horror show genre fans should support with open wallets." | |
Sean Plummer | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
8/10 |
|
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) |
|
"Gore disciples rejoice: Alexandre Aja's remake of The Hills Have Eyes hits like a hot blood baptism." | |
Dave Alexander | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Hills Have Eyes II (2007) |
|
"Another dip in the increasingly shallow remake and sequel-to-remake pool." | |
| |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Hostel (2006) |
|
"Buried somewhere in this movie is an interesting concept, but the delivery lacks imagination and suspense, and the plot is largely predictable." | |
Rod Gudino | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Hot Fuzz (2007) |
|
"A hilarious send-up to police action films like Super Cop and Bad Boys 2, fuelled by British black humour and a few cartoonish but great gore gags." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
House of the Dead (2003) |
|
"If you want to see what a cinematic piece of dog barf looks like, go see House of the Dead, otherwise do yourself a favour and play the video game, it’s far more entertaining." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
In My Skin (2003) |
|
"In My Skin is not for everyone, but should you brave this film you will be watching the work of a major cinematic artist in de Van." | |
Christopher Heard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Incident at Loch Ness (2004) |
|
"Incident at Loch Ness may not be first film to explore the mystery of the Loch Ness monster, but it might just be the best." | |
Paul Corupe | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Infection (2004) |
|
"A creepy flick that, thankfully, doesn’t rely on dead, long-haired women to deliver its scares." | |
Sean Plummer | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Irreversible (2003) |
|
"Irreversible is I Spit On Your Grave for the intellectual set ..." | |
Rod Gudino | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Leprechaun - Back 2 tha Hood (2003) |
|
"This self conscious dopey time waster is far better than it needs to be and in its own, dumb ***, base way, is probably the funniest movie I've seen all year." | |
Chris Alexander | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2004) |
|
"The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is teeming with terrible dialogue, cardboard thespians, corny props snatched off eBay and mutilations, mutilations, MUTILATIONS!" | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
5/5 |
|
May (2003) |
|
"'May is nothing short of brilliant. It is likely the most original horror story I have seen in years.'" | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
1/5 |
|
Night Watch (2005) |
|
"As slick as any mega-budget American movie... but it’s also as cliché and soulless, and a lot more convoluted." | |
Dave Alexander | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
10/10 |
|
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
|
"A gorgeously executed and disturbingly violent moving picture poem that bravely flies in the face of genre convention and stands alone in its purpose." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
|
"The Passion of the Christ is the Jesus story that’s been begging to get made since Charlie Heston kicked off his robes and sandals." | |
Rod Gudino | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
5/10 |
|
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) |
|
"In a time when the serial killer subgenre is practically the definition of derivative, Perfume is %u2013 for better or for worse %u2013 a whiff of something uniquely fresh." | |
Rod Gudino | |

Premonition (2004) |
|
"While [J-horror] dies a derivative death, Premonition is being touted as the next big thing. But should it be?" | |
Aaron Lupton | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
3/5 |
|
Rawhead Rex (1987) |
|
"A terrible adaptation of a fantastic Clive Barker story from his Books of Blood. Despite the goofy mask the demon wears, Rex does have some teeth; it earns points for the Rex-urinating-on-willing-priest's-face scene." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) |
|
"RE2 is a dreary, incoherent mess of a movie, failing on almost every conceivable level." | |
Chris Alexander | |

The Return (2006) |

"Stick to vampires, Buffy." | |

Shaun of the Dead (2004) |
|
"A clever spoof film that’s actually well-written, witty, dynamically shot and edited, thankfully lacking the mentality of expelled phlegm." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Shikoku (1999) |
|
"Shikoku, like its phantasmagoric anti-heroine, occupies a misty middle ground worth visiting." | |
Sean Plummer | |

10/10 |
|
Stephen King's The Mist (2007) |
|
"The final sequences are a fitting good-night from an intelligent, ballsy director who will hopefully scoop up the rights to a few more of King's unfilmed gems." | |
James Grainger | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Suicide Club (2002) |
|
"An exceptionally unique movie dying to be rescued from what is essentially a mild case of hubris." | |
Rod Gudino | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) |
|
"If I hadn’t already seen the original film, and wasn’t desensitized from a lifelong horror addiction, I think I might have been frightened by some of it." | |
Jovanka Vuckovic | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) |
|
"That "Zzzzzz" ringing through the theatre during The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning ain't just a chainsaw, it's snoring." | |
Dave Alexander | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Toolbox Murders |
|
"Toolbox Murders is arguably the movie everyone has been waiting for Hooper to make since Texas Chainsaw Massacre." | |
Rod Gudino | |
