Dry Blood (2018)
Jones and Carney create a complex, chilling tale with Dry Blood that shows the filmmakers' potential, but it falls just short of being truly successful.

The House That Jack Built (2018)
The House That Jack Built is all at once a stunning and unhinged character study of a serial killer.

Slay Belles isn't the best holiday horror film, but it is still a riotous good time.

At The Devil's Door (2014)
It created such a feeling of unease leaving me thoroughly creeped out long after the movie ended (without necessarily having any big in-your-face scares).

V/H/S: Viral (2014)
I think aside from the shorts being more nonsensical and not even remotely scary, the thing that upset me the most was the overarching storyline of "Vicious Circles."

Mr. Jones (2014)
It's creepy, it has great acting, a unique storyline, and it is the kind of film you can discuss with people long after it's over and still find new things to talk about.

Quarantine 2: Terminal (2011)
This movie had a couple scary moments, but it is nothing compared to the first film or it's Spanish predecessors.

The Lazarus Effect (2015)
While the storyline is not the most original, this film still gives a few good scares.

Hostel: Part III (2011)
I really was pleasantly surprised with this film. It was funny, it was gory, it had great twists, and it updated an old storyline in a genius way.

It Follows (2015)
Please go see this movie. It is the kind of movie that makes you think about it for days afterwards, which means they did a great job.

Honeymoon (2014)
This movie really could have been great. It had all the right tools at it's disposal. Unfortunately, the storyline took an odd turn that left me scratching my head.

The Houses October Built (2014)
In my opinion, this film did not get as much credit as it deserved. While the ending was a bit lackluster, the overall storyline was very interesting and creepy.

The Gallows (2015)
The problem is that all the scary scenes were shown in the trailers, there were too many unanswered questions, and they made Charlie almost a bit humorous.

It does an excellent job of telling an effective story of strong family bonds, that just happens to involve zombies.

Dark Was The Night (2015)
In general, the acting was excellent (especially Durand). I also loved that they took a creative, original story line and turned it into an exceptionally creepy film.

I'd say that as a whole this was a successful project by Eli Roth. There are obviously aspects of the film that did not work within the context of the story.

Krampus is a film that will be added to my list of Christmas movies I have to watch every year. It ties in old traditions with how the holidays are today.
