1/6
 
"By far the worst ‘slasher movie’ remake to date, replaying all the clichés, but delivering none of the guilty pleasures." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 5, 2008
 
Prom Night (2008)8%
/
2/6
 
"One can’t turn a blind eye to such conspicuous failings. " -- Time Out

The Eye (2008)21%
/
3/6
 
"Stupid, slipshod stuff." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Botched (2007)14%
/
3/6
 
"An adaptation of novelist Rupert Thomson’s erotic mystery/thriller that fails to find a visual or narrative equivalent for the book’s elegant prose and lubricious mysteries." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 27, 2008
 
The Book of Revelation (2006)82%
/
1/6
 
"Andy Serkis shouts a lot, as if raising the decibel level will compensate for the dire dialogue, while Jennifer Ellison displays more cleavage than acting ability." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
The Cottage (2008)71%
/
2/6
 
"Like the lumbering mammoths, it is plodding and dull. " -- Time Out
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
10,000 B.C. (2008)9%
/
3/6
 
"The performances are intense and Morton Søborg’s gritty, atmospheric cinematography recalls ’70s crime movies such as ‘The French Connection’. Sadly, the tonally uneven ‘WAZ’ cannot quite match their piercing intelligence." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
WAZ (2007)77%
/
1/6
 
"Scriptwriter Shane Salerno’s dialogue is unspeakable, the visceral horror all too familiar, and the ideas distinctly second-hand." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)14%
/
1/6
 
"CGI-assisted ping pong and lame gags about dead pandas, simpering homos and ‘Antiques Roadshow’. " -- Time Out
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
Balls of Fury (2007)23%
/
3/6
 
"You’re left gawping at $100 million-worth of eye-popping futuristic B-movie." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
I Am Legend (2007)69%
/
2/6
 
"Bland, bloodless and bereft of magic." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 5, 2007
 
The Golden Compass (2007)41%
/
2/6
 
"Every element of Paddy Breathnach’s Irish slasher movie is so familiar that it feels like a dog-eared horror anthology found down the back of the sofa." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 23, 2007
 
Shrooms (2006)19%
/
2/6
 
"A frustrating mix of imaginative design, erratic plotting and underwritten characters." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 1, 2007
 
30 Days of Night (2007)49%
/
1/6
 
"The need to incorporate familiar characters and icons from the earlier films, together with flashbacks that flesh out Jigsaw’s pre-'puppet master' past, simply leads to an irritating series of creative dead ends. Truly, a hack-Saw." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Saw IV (2007)19%
/
2/6
 
"The scariest visage is that of Alice, whose flawless, airbrushed complexion is either a throwback to Mulcahy’s New Romantic pop promos or something dictated by Jovovich’s L’Oréal contract." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)22%
/
2/6
 
"Green’s efforts to strike a balance between knowing humour and no-holds-barred horror are stymied by an erratic tone: a slow, talky build-up gives way to a soggy middle section and a messy, all-stops-out finale." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
Hatchet (2007)46%
/
 
"Another failed attempt to bring Dick's deliriously paranoid mind-set to the screen." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 22, 2007
 
Next (2007)29%

"Per its title, The Pacifier will lull you to sleep." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 16, 2007
 
The Pacifier (2005)21%
/
2/6
 
"It’s affectionately done, but rather pointless." -- Time Out
Posted Jul 6, 2007
 
Dead Silence (2007)18%
/
2/6
 
"The jury is out on whether we need another J-horror scare story, but it’s not an open-and-shut case. And with the re-make in the works, the file remains open." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 29, 2007
 
Shutter ()79%
/
3/6
 
"Madly over-plotted, with overlapping time frames and puzzling sub-plots, it makes no concessions to neophytes." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 23, 2007
 
Day Watch (2007)64%
/
 
"The film’s clunky point-of-view shift and obviously re-shot climax are likely to have you choking in disbelief." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 22, 2007
 
Captivity (2007)7%
/
 
"It’s easy to see why this piffle had to be independently financed – no film company executive in its right mind would have touched it with a barge pole." -- Time Out

"Bloated, boring and over-explained." -- Time Out
Posted May 31, 2007
 
The Hitcher (2007)19%
/
 
"A mongrel killer-dog movie that takes us back to ‘Cujo’ territory, where Man’s Best Friend turns into his most ferocious enemy." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
The Breed (2006)8%
/
 
"I prophesy an early exodus from cinemas." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 19, 2007
 
The Reaping (2007)8%
/
 
"Many of the images feel over-familiar, and the shocks a mite too forced." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 5, 2007
 
The Messengers (2007)11%
/
 
"Weisz’ first feature was ‘Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story’, a banal study of a real-life cannibal killer. Like this sorry sequel, it amounted to far less than the sum of its body parts." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 29, 2007
 
The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)12%
/
 
"t’s pronounced ‘Shite-an’, as in ‘Shite an’ then some’." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Sheitan (2006)53%
/
2/6
 
"A 20-minute calling card short extended to a tolerance-stretching 74 minutes, this is an effectively directed but ultimately pointless wind-up exercise." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 26, 2007
 
Them (2007)63%
/
 
"A modern horror movie featuring a non-ironic shower scene is far less knowing than it pretends to be." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Black Christmas (2006)17%
/
 
"A painful reminder of what fantasy cinema was like before the Lord of the Rings trilogy re-wrote the rules." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Eragon (2006)16%
/
 
"Flying scenes, frat-boy face-offs and pyrotechnic punch-ups are punctuated by excruciating expository dialogue." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
The Covenant (2006)3%
/
 
"The second Saw sequel develops the mythology of sadistic puppet-master Jigsaw in ambitious, gruesome but ultimately self-defeating ways." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 2, 2006
 
Saw III (2006)27%
/
 
"As the ghosts suck the life out of their victims, the audience suffers the same fate." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
Pulse (2006)12%
/
 
"Neil LaBute’s utterly misconceived remake of Robin Hardy’s 1973 cult horror film is a boring, fright-free catastrophe." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
The Wicker Man (2006)16%
/
 
"The plot dawdles along, intrigue gives way to risible melodrama, and [director] Patrick Stettner fails to get to grips with the issues." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
The Night Listener (2006)41%
/
 
"The massaged script is now a little too knowing and calculated, nudging the audience in anticipation of each snake attack or corny gag." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 17, 2006
 
Snakes on a Plane (2006)70%
/
 
"Sadly, as with [director Eli] Roth’s promising but flawed debut feature, its central conceit is more compelling than what ended up on screen." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Hostel (2006)58%
/
 
"Derivative, adolescent tosh." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Ultraviolet (2006)8%
/
 
"A disastrously miscast remake of the 1976 horror classic, which retains the apocalyptic themes of David Seltzer’s original script but renders them dull and fright-free." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Omen (2006)26%
/
 
"The tedious storytelling sucks the life and soul out of the characters far more effectively than Satan ever manages." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Lost Souls (2000)7%
/
 
"If you’ve seen either Black Christmas or Halloween, there’s nothing new here: the hyped-up score keeps telling us we ought to be scared, but the suspense feels mechanical and fake." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
When a Stranger Calls (2006)9%
/
 
"Irredeemably dire." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)6%
/
 
"This allegedly true tale of demonic possession is weighed down by period detail and ponderous storytelling, which soon get the better of its Exorcist-inspired levitations, flying crucifixes and noisy poltergeist activity." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 3, 2006
 
An American Haunting (2006)12%
/
 
"French director Christophe Gans’s adaptation of the Silent Hill computer game is visually inspired and thematically ambitious, yet ultimately uninvolving." -- Time Out
Posted May 6, 2006
 
Silent Hill (2006)29%
/
 
"This is nothing but trailer moments. Ex-pop video director McG couldn't organise a pillow fight in a bedding factory." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Charlie's Angels (2000)68%
/
 
"Travolta, it seems, had wanted to star in a film of Battlefield Earth since first reading the novel in 1982. Only the all-seeing L Ron knows why." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 26, 2006
 
Battlefield Earth (2000)3%

"Misjudged, compromised Hollywood remake." -- Time Out
