| 1.5/4 | 15% | A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) |
Dream killer Freddy Krueger made a generation of moviegoers scared to fall asleep. Too bad his return to the big screen is such a snooze.‐ Kansas City Star

| 2.5/4 | 25% | Friday the 13th (2009) |
Quibbles aside, Jason Voorhees has become almost a modern-day Dracula or Frankenstein's monster -- a figurehead of horror, despite some of his regrettable screen incarnations. It's refreshing to see a movie take him seriously again.‐ Kansas City Star

| 3/4 | 87% | Control (2007) |
Control humanizes Curtis while acknowledging that he could be remote and even cruel in his selfishness and despair.‐ Kansas City Star
