Saw V (2008)

"This is unmistakably one of the worst horror films of the year. It's the last dying gasp of a series that was already past its expiration date."

Trick 'r Treat (2007)

"Trick 'r Treat ranks alongside John Carpenter's Halloween as traditional October viewing and I can't imagine a single horror fan that won't fall head over heels in love with it."

Dead Space: Downfall (2008)

"There's nothing bright and sunny about Dead Space: Downfall. It's brutal, unrelenting, and savage. Bodies are torn, eviscerated, and mutilated ... This is no kids' show."

Alone in the Dark II (2008)

"Blink and miss Alone in the Dark II ... There's really nothing to see here. It doesn't even have the epic train wreck quality of Boll's original. It's just a plain ol' bad movie."

Trick 'r Treat (2007)

"Trick 'r Treat is the film that horror fans have been waiting for - the antidote to every insipid remake, sequel and over hyped "holy grail" we've had to suffer through in recent years."

Quarantine (2008)
|
"An entire movie set in a sealed off, old school apartment building with terror around every corner should convey a severe sense of claustrophobia in every shot. Quarantine may as well have been filmed in a warehouse."

Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat (1990)

Igor (2008)

La Terza Madre (Mother of Tears: The Third Mother) (2007)

Eskalofrío (Shiver) (2008)
