The Golem (1920) |
Despite portraying a creature made of stone, [Paul Wegener] manages to create a surprising level of emotional expression, primarily through his eyes. - Electric Sheep

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) |
As successful as [its] elements are, they would be considerably less effective without such excellent central performances. - Electric Sheep

Nina Forever (2015) |
Nina Forever is a confident, original debut that suggests Ben and Chris Blaine may have an interesting career ahead of them. - Electric Sheep

In an era when a two-hour running time can seem increasingly indulgent, Kurosawa has created a five-hour film that doesn't drag for a second, maintaining its momentum throughout. - Electric Sheep

Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007) |
In terms of pure entertainment, it's a hell of a lot more satisfying than any of the other sequels. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Black Christmas (2006) |
It might not break new ground, but within the confines of its genre, Black Christmas has more than enough gruesome, gory fun to satisfy. - Flipside Movie Emporium

The Guard from Underground (1992) |
Manages to evoke the same atmosphere of claustrophobic brutality as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), but only for brief periods. - Flipside Movie Emporium

For better or for worse, Komizu has pushed the boundaries of bad taste even further. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Entrails of a Virgin (1986) |
Only likely to appeal to a very selective audience, thanks to the zero-budget production values and the graphic, over-the-top approach to both violence and sexuality. - Flipside Movie Emporium

The Ring Virus (1999) |
Few fans will appreciate it as much as the Japanese or American versions, which are all of a consistently higher standard. - Flipside Movie Emporium

The Stranger From Afar (2004) |
Resembles a nightmare more than a horror film, with logic and resolution taking a back seat to atmosphere and imagination. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Premonition (2004) |
Premonition isn't a bad film; it's just a very average one. - Flipside Movie Emporium

H (2002) |
Beyond the script difficulties, H is simply too derivative to be satisfying. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Koma (2004) |
A decent psycho-thriller with plenty of style and a fistful of nice twists. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Acacia (2003) |
Park is adept at cranking up the tension, imbuing seemingly pedestrian scenes of family life with a dark and sinister undercurrent. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Marronnier (2003) |
For the right viewer, Marronnier is a special find indeed: quirky, imaginative, and often funny. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Em Embalming (1999) |
It's certainly not the next hidden gem of the Japanese horror boom, and viewers expecting that are likely to come away frustrated. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Infection (2004) |
After presenting us with a fairly strong beginning, Ochiai really doesn't have any idea how to end the film. - Flipside Movie Emporium

The Nameless (1999) |
Looking beyond the narrative flaws, The Nameless is clearly the work of a capable director. Balaguer and his cinematographer create a wonderfully grimy atmosphere. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Alive (2002) |
The film isn't a total failure, but it's unlikely to find favor with the same people who fell in love with Versus. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Ju-on: The Curse (2000) |
There is nothing here to rival Ringu's nerve-shredding climax, but there are several moments that should have most horror fans grinning with ghoulish delight. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Evil Dead Trap (1988) |
There's more to entertain and bemuse in the 90 minutes of Toshiharu Ikeda's cult masterpiece than there is in any number of post-Scream slasher flicks. - Flipside Movie Emporium

Battle Royale II: Requiem (2003) |
Does not match up to the quality of its predecessor. However, the first half is well-constructed and interesting, and should impress fans of the first movie. - Flipside Movie Emporium
