	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
3/4	63%	Evil Dead (2013)	The original is of course better, but this remake delivers the gore in a big way. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 5, 2013
3.5/4	60%	Red State (2011)	One of the best white trash horror films in recent memory. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 7, 2012
3/4	80%	The Innkeepers (2012)	'The Innkeepers' makes up for its low budget and even lower body count with an excellent cast. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 7, 2012
1/4	35%	The Resident (2012)	The film would have benefited from a higher body count ... - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 13, 2011
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 Read More \| Posted Dec 12, 2010
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 Read More \| Posted Dec 5, 2010
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 Read More \| Posted Oct 22, 2010
2.5/4	32%	I Spit On Your Grave (2010)	Better than the original - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 17, 2010
1.5/4	50%	The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2010)	The film deserves some points for being sickening and over the top. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 13, 2010
3/4	75%	Splice (2010)	"Splice" is one of those movies that just makes you ache, because it almost achieves greatness. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 13, 2010
3/4	30%	Survival of the Dead (2010)	A decent zombie film - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted May 30, 2010
3.5/4	80%	Triangle (2009)	'Triangle' is one of the most intelligent, thought provoking genre films in recent memory. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 20, 2010
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 Read More \| Posted Feb 20, 2010
3/4	67%	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 Read More \| Posted Feb 20, 2010
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 Oct 2, 2009
3.5/4	83%	Paranormal Activity (2009)	An instant classic of the mockumentary genre - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 24, 2009
2.75/4	21%	H2: Halloween II (2009)	OK but not great - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 4, 2009
3.5/4	55%	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 Read More \| Posted Aug 7, 2009
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 Jul 15, 2009
3.5/4	29%	Deadgirl (2008)	An ingenious, awesome zombie movie - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 28, 2009
3.5/4	80%	Book of Blood (2008)	... a horror movie for adults. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 18, 2009
3/4	100%	Sex Addict (2008)	... 'Bad Biology' is intelligent, funny and sick as hell - 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 Read More \| Posted Jun 10, 2009
2.5/4	73%	The Burrowers (2008)	... proves once again that the old west still isn't the ideal place to set a monster movie. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted May 22, 2009
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	74%	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	75%	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
3/4	No Score Yet	The Centerfold Girls (Girl Hunter) (1974)	A highly entertaining grindhouse slasher ... - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 2, 2009
2/4	58%	Martyrs (2008)	'Martyrs' is initially shocking and strong, but eventually falls apart once we are informed about what the hell is going on. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 30, 2009
1.5/4	No Score Yet	Deadtime Stories (1986)	All in all, this is a bad horror and bad comedy film. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 24, 2009
3/4	No Score Yet	Dead of Night (1977)	... you may just want to fast forward to the final tale. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 24, 2009
3.5/4	50%	Shuttle (2009)	One hell of a terrifying ride ... - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 11, 2009
3/4	No Score Yet	Dead in Three Days (In 3 Tagen bist du tot) (2007)	It's probably the best slasher film to come out of Europe since Alex Aja's now classic gore fest 'High Tension.' - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 9, 2009
3/4	No Score Yet	Red Sands (2009)	While not a perfect film, it was visionary and impressive given a tiny budget. - ESplatter EDIT 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 Feb 26, 2009
2/4	25%	Friday the 13th (2009)	There have been worse Jason films, if that's any consolation. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 14, 2009
3/4	72%	The Midnight Meat Train (2008)	This is the best Clive Barker-inspired movie in a long, long time -- probably since "Hellraiser III" in 1992. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 9, 2009
3.5/4	60%	My Bloody Valentine 3-D (2009)	... the best slasher movie in years - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 21, 2009
3/4	52%	Donkey Punch (2008)	It has the best boat propeller killing since 'Dr. Butcher M.D.' ... All in all, a good trashy thriller. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 19, 2009
3/4	38%	Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)	No, fans of "Mamma Mia!" won't be too thrilled with "Repo! The Genetic Opera." - 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 Read More \| Posted Jan 5, 2009
3/4	No Score Yet	Midnight Movie (2008)	... all in all, horror fans will find that the film delivers the goods. Just don't set your expectations too high. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 3, 2009
3.5/4	No Score Yet	The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959)	A great movie and a must for British horror fans. - ESplatter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 2, 2009
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 Read More \| Posted Dec 15, 2008
