The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% EDIT “Most of Return holds up given the brisk pacing and a cast of characters that never (well rarely) grates - a problem endemic to zombie films. ” – ScreenAnarchy Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Haunters (2010) 73% EDIT “Gang Dong-Won plays both the physical frailty and mental steeliness of the character with skill.” – ScreenAnarchy May 8, 2020 Full Review Grave of the Fireflies (1988) 100% EDIT “This film isn't easy to watch but it's essential viewing among the great works of animation--or really of all film, for that matter.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Twins of Evil (1971) 79% EDIT “...an unashamedly sexy, luridly violent, and well-produced horror movie shot with actors who weren't especially embarrassed to be a part of the bloody happenings on screen.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Jack and Diane (2012) 15% EDIT “There's a wise (and frightening) movie about young love in Jack and Diane, but Bradley Rust Gray didn't make it.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Deadly Blessing (1981) 44% EDIT “On paper, a slasher-thriller with supernatural overtones, Deadly Blessing is instead a series of loosely connected parts.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Frankenweenie (2012) 87% EDIT “Why does Frankenweenie 2012 feel so incomplete and cobbled together with loose ideas?” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review House at the End of the Street (2012) 10% EDIT “That's essentially what this movie is: ugly. It's characters are deeply unpleasant.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% EDIT “Spaceballs remains a funny enough movie on its own, even after all these years.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review V/H/S (2012) 56% EDIT “V/H/S could have been really, really good instead of just really, really interesting. As it stands, it's worth watching just to see the seeds of several very clever ideas emerge.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Tai Chi Zero (2012) 60% EDIT “Fun peppers his cast with Hong Kong action film royalty while filling the screen with crazy titles and text overlays, which almost distract from the problems with the way he and writer Chia-lu Chang have unfortunately structured their film.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988) 79% EDIT “A far more interesting horror movie threat than they have any right to be, and that's all thanks to the cleverness of the Chiodo boys.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) 87% EDIT “This beautiful film, anchored by non-professional actors inside of a wrecked world, is one of the most wrenchingly wonderful fantasies of 2012.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Jeepers Creepers (2001) 47% EDIT “Jeepers Creepers still holds a lot of the power it did over a decade ago thanks in large part to its ability to morph and change styles during its brisk 90-minute running time.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review ParaNorman (2012) 89% EDIT “An original feature about tolerance and understanding that just happens to have ghosts, zombies, a vengeful witch, and some of the most gorgeous stop-motion work I've seen in a while.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Iron Sky (2012) 42% EDIT “Iron Sky's simplicity will either be the reason you seek it out or the reason you turn it off, but it executes on its concept with some accomplished effects for its low budget while living up to the promise of its premise.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) 83% EDIT “Thankfully, the sense of humor still holds and the lead characters are as sweet and dumb as ever. They mean well, they just don't have follow through--and we've all known that person.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Piranha 3DD (2012) 11% EDIT “Piranha 3DD fails to match the full-blown bloodbath of the first movie, and features too many callbacks to that film to really establish its own identity.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Flying Swords of Dragon Gate (2011) 68% EDIT “Relentlessly, impossibly improbable and fun.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Young Gun in the Time (2012) EDIT “Between Young Gun's dedication and simple decency and Song-hyun's tough-headedness, you want to hang with these characters and see things turn out okay for them.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Terror Train (1980) 44% EDIT “Terror Train is at best workmanlike in its matter-of-fact killings and downright silly and nonsensical in the way the mystery and fake-outs are handled.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 (1986) 50% EDIT “Everything is heightened in Chainsaw 2, the gore gorier, the performances, broader, the music synth-ier.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review The Funhouse (1981) 67% EDIT “A terrific twist with its killer makes it one worth seeking out.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review From Beyond (1986) 74% EDIT “A melange of Lovecraftian influences [that] stands side-by-side with Re-Animator as one of the best films of Band's Empire International years.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Total Recall (2012) 30% EDIT “While the remake might not hold a candle to the 1990 interpretation of the material, it can stand on its own as a solid action movie.” – MTV Jul 3, 2018 Full Review
