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."

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)
|
"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."

Hostel (2006)

High Tension (Switchblade Romance) (2005)

Rawhead Rex (1987)
