3/4 20% The Green Slime (1969) Despite the camp presence of '60s rock, laughable costumes ... and of course incredibly goofy-looking monsters, 'The Green Slime' is a seriously good movie. - ESplatter EDIT

3/4 71% Black Death (2011) While not as good as 'Triangle,' 'Black Death' does solidify Christopher Smith's standing as a great horror filmmaker. - ESplatter EDIT

3.5/4 59% Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) While not as original as the first film, it's just as scary and scores points for cleverly tying the two stories together. - ESplatter EDIT

1.5/4 50% The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2010) The film deserves some points for being sickening and over the top. - ESplatter EDIT

3/4 76% Splice (2010) "Splice" is one of those movies that just makes you ache, because it almost achieves greatness. - ESplatter EDIT

3/4 28% Pandorum (2009) A little bit 'Eden Log,' a little bit 'Descent,' and a whole lot of 'Alien,' 'Pandorum' ultimately succeeds as a watchable sci-fi/horror/mystery. - ESplatter EDIT

3/4 68% Daybreakers (2010) Set in a near future where the entire planet has been taken over by vampires, the film is actually quite pertinent in these post-credit crisis times. - ESplatter EDIT

3/4 90% Zombieland (2009) There was a time when "zombie" films were edgy and alternative. That time has clearly passed. - ESplatter EDIT

Read More | Posted Sep 4, 2009
3.5/4 56% Orphan (2009) Daring and fresh, 'Orphan' is easily one of the best horror movies of 2009. - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted Aug 8, 2009
2.5/4 No Score Yet House of Death (1982) Slow moving but oddly entertaining, 'House of Death' remains a fun time capsule from the slasher era. - ESplatter EDIT

2.75/3 17% The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) Not as scary as 2005's 'Amityville Horror' but good nonetheless. - ESplatter EDIT

Read More | Posted Jun 10, 2009
2/4 41% The Last House on the Left (2009) ... this 'Last House on the Left' doesn't have the bite of the original. - ESplatter EDIT

2/4 50% Eden Log (2007) A passable French sci-fi film, but far from great. - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted May 22, 2009
3.25/4 No Score Yet Black Devil Doll (2007) Director Jonathan Lewis managed to put together a hilarious, over-the-top, sex-filled gorefest on a shoestring budget -- and somehow managed to afford James Bond-style opening credits for the event. - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted May 8, 2009
3/4 No Score Yet Plague Town (2009) ... this movie grabs you by the throat and never lets go. - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted Apr 27, 2009
2.5/4 31% The Uninvited (2009) The performances are pretty good but some of the characters aren't quite fleshed out. - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted Apr 22, 2009
3.5/4 75% Splinter (2008) A very efficient and effective (for its budget) zombie-infection-sci-fi-thriller - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted Apr 17, 2009
3.5/4 76% The Children (2008) As killer kid horror movies go, 'The Children' is easily one of the best. - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted Apr 2, 2009

Read More | Posted Mar 2, 2009
1.5/4 No Score Yet Sweet Sixteen (1983) The film may generate a little bit more interest this year because "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" seems to have taken a little inspiration from it. - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted Feb 26, 2009
2.5/4 No Score Yet Dorothy Mills (Dorothy) (2008) "Dorothy Mills" is atmospheric and well acted, but too derivative to be memorable. - ESplatter EDIT

Read More | Posted Jan 10, 2009
1/4 No Score Yet The Unseen (1981) A terrible movie when it came out in the '80s, "The Unseen" hasn't aged well, even in terms of camp value. - ESplatter EDIT

3.5/4 79% Eden Lake (2008) Well acted, well directed, and totally intense, 'Eden Lake' is the best horror film to come out of the UK in years. - ESplatter EDIT
Read More | Posted Dec 22, 2008
3/4 No Score Yet The Shuttered Room (Blood Island) (1967) Artfully directed, gorgeously photographed, and well acted "The Shuttered Room" finishes with a pretty predictable ending. But the journey there is quite enjoyable. - ESplatter EDIT
