Km 31-2 (2016) 57% 2.5/5 EDIT “Perhaps it will work well with less suspecting audiences, but horror fans should really give this one a pass.” – Dread Central Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Sympathy (2007) 3.5/5 EDIT “Yes, you'll see some of the many twists coming a mile or so away, but there are others that aim to blindside, and do a damn fine job of it.” – Dread Central Apr 13, 2010 Full Review Zombieland (2009) 89% 5/5 EDIT “Zombieland is a killer comedy with a vicious sense of humor.” – Dread Central Oct 7, 2009 Full Review Survival of the Dead (2009) 29% 4.5/5 EDIT “Add in some extreme violence and wonderful performances from the lead actors, and we have a movie that is (arguably) one of the best in the series.” – Dread Central Oct 7, 2009 Full Review Plague Town (2008) 2.5/5 EDIT “The director's got a genuine love for horror & you can tell he's trying with his limited resources & experience to make a film that relied more on atmosphere than gory kills.” – Dread Central Apr 14, 2009 Full Review Blood River (1991) 4.5/5 EDIT “What's so great about Blood River, is that nothing is spelled out for the audience. Your hand is not held nor your steps guided through this plot.” – Dread Central Apr 14, 2009 Full Review The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) 17% 2.5/5 EDIT “This convoluted story becomes mired in drama to the point where you'll care little when you finally find out what is actually in the house. You'll care even less when they take a stab at a twist ending, performed at the same blistering pace as the rest of” – Dread Central Mar 27, 2009 Full Review The Broken (2008) 51% 2/5 EDIT “At it's heart there are some good ideas in The Broken but, as I said in the beginning, it's very, very slow in revealing those ideas.” – Dread Central Jan 10, 2009 Full Review Anamorph (2007) 27% 2/5 EDIT “No more interesting than any standard episode of "CSI" or any of the other myriad of cop-centric whodunits polluting our airwaves.” – Dread Central Dec 4, 2008 Full Review The Lazarus Project (2008) 60% 2.5/5 EDIT “For all this grumbling, The Lazarus Project is technically a well put together film. It looks good, and is reasonably well acted.” – Dread Central Nov 15, 2008 Full Review Splinter (2008) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Splinter's got all the elements that make for a great midnight movie, something horror fans will be telling one another about for weeks, maybe months, afterwards.” – Dread Central Sep 19, 2008 Full Review Shiver (2008) 2.5/5 EDIT “Shiver is shot beautifully, though, and director Ortiz never lets the plot slow down once it picks up speed. It's not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not anything you'll be talking about for very long afterward.” – Dread Central Sep 16, 2008 Full Review The Burrowers (2008) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “J.T Petty takes viewers on an unusual and frightening venture into the Old West with The Burrowers.” – Dread Central Sep 10, 2008 Full Review Pumpkinhead (1988) 51% 4/5 EDIT “MGM has done a great service to Pumpkinhead and its fans with this new Collector's Edition DVD and you'd be a fool to overlook this.” – Dread Central Aug 31, 2008 Full Review Mirrors (2008) 15% 2.5/5 EDIT “It skirts along the edge of greatness, but for every one thing it does right, it does another so inconceivably wrong.” – Dread Central Aug 15, 2008 Full Review Timecrimes (2007) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Timecrimes is not for everyone, it's leisurely yet tense pacing sees to that, but for those looking to utilize their gray matter some when digesting a horror film, you'll find a lot to dig about it.” – Dread Central Aug 13, 2008 Full Review Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2007) 61% 4/5 EDIT “...believe the hype for Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer; this is a fun, monster-filled movie that knows exactly what it wants to be and I hope only the first of many movies in what could easily be a really kickass franchise.” – Dread Central Aug 10, 2008 Full Review Transsiberian (2008) 91% EDIT “Anderson's most accessible film to date.” – Dread Central Jul 17, 2008 Full Review 100 Tears (2007) 3/5 EDIT “At times genuinely funny, outright ridiculous, painfully bad, and screamingly entertaining.” – Dread Central Jun 9, 2008 Full Review Faces of Death (1978) 25% 3/5 EDIT “As a curiosity piece, Faces of Death is well worth a look, especially if you've not seen it in a very long time. As for its place in horror cinema history, well, that remains to be seen.” – Dread Central May 13, 2008 Full Review Spiral (2007) 50% 4/5 EDIT “"The camera moves are jarring at times and soothing at others ... a skillful, well crafted piece."” – Dread Central Feb 3, 2008 Full Review 30 Days of Night (2007) 50% 5/5 EDIT “30 Days of Night grabs this hoary monster by the throat, pumps it full of the thick rich blood of life, and shoves it out to greet you, eat you, and coat you in glorious mists of red firing from oh-so-many newly exposed arterial sprays.” – Dread Central Sep 24, 2007 Full Review The Tripper (2006) 40% 4/5 EDIT “Horror fans with a sense of humor will really enjoy this slice of gory goodness.” – Dread Central Jul 13, 2007 Full Review Fido (2006) 71% 4.5/5 EDIT “Fido is just a damn smart film, whether you want to classify it as a horror or a comedy or a horror/comedy or a zomcom; it just works on almost every level.” – Dread Central May 1, 2007 Full Review Black Sheep (2006) 71% 4.5/5 EDIT “A good, midnight movie crowd is best, but something tells me even the most jaded common moviegoer will have something to scream about in Black Sheep.” – Dread Central Apr 30, 2007 Full Review
