Children of the Corn (2009) |
This lazy reimagining of a terse Stephen King short story drags itself through the horror paces, with a predictable slow build toward a couple of splashy gore sequences - Slant Magazine

That Most Important Thing: Love (1975) |
This isn't the realm of sentimentality, because love here is violent and obsessive and all-encompassing. - Slant Magazine

As the final episode of the first season of Masters of Horror, Haeckel's Tale is representative of much of the series: talented filmmakers working on material from genre aficionados, yielding uneven results. - Slant Magazine

In these days of PG-13 horror films too timid to alienate their audience, it's nice to see that Stuart Gordon hasn't lost his knack for macabre impropriety. - Slant Magazine

Chelsea on the Rocks (2008) |
Chelsea on the Rocks is very lively, somewhat thrown together in that loose yet aggressively visceral Ferrara style. - Slant Magazine

Paradise (2009) |
It wouldn't be a stretch to compare Paradise to Alphaville, what with its imagining of the modern as otherworldly, or to imagine it as a capsule made by an outer-space explorer who visits Earth and finds layers of mystery in the mundane. - Slant Magazine

Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) |
While there's a superficial been-there-done-that, why don't-we-just-mock-the-whole-thing quality to this entry in the series, it certainly livens up what has become by this point a stale franchise. - Slant Magazine
