Posted Mar 1, 2008
 
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)61%
/
 
"The Signal is not for the squeamish, but the violence is doled out judiciously and interspersed with moments of mordant, truly biting comedy."
Posted Mar 1, 2008
 
Chicago 10 (2008)76%
/

The Omen (2006)26%

United 93 (2006)91%
/
 
"It's almost as though the filmmakers were trying to frustrate and annoy horror fans, and it's a hardy soul who will be willing to sit out the entire 123 minutes."
Posted Apr 13, 2006
 
Scary Movie 4 (2006)38%
/
 
"In this well-made, well-acted, and funny sci-fi horror hybrid, wet alien flesh glistens and pulsates, penis-like organs strain to plunge into the flesh of unwilling victims..."
Posted Apr 3, 2006
 
Slither (2006)84%
/
 
"Important plot points are treated in a rushed, perfunctory manner and what could have been a fascinating parable about tyranny, terrorism, and the sheer charisma of violence becomes just another series of bloody fight scenes."
Posted Mar 18, 2006
 
V For Vendetta (2005)73%
/
 
"In 'Saw II,' both the cops and the victims are so dim the whole elaborate exercise hardly seems worthwhile. "

Stay (2005)26%

"Devolves into a series of silly fight and chase scenes in which bad guys are bloodily maimed and dispatched while most of the good guys come out miraculously unscathed"
Posted Sep 30, 2005
 
Into the Blue (2005)22%
/
 
"Offers both a broadly funny Australian spin and a unique attempt to make sense out of the senseless conventions of zombie films"
Posted Jul 5, 2005
 
Undead (2005)27%
/
 
"The unmistakable promise of a sequel in the last scene inspires more resignation than anticipation."
Posted May 6, 2005

/
 
"To those who saw and enjoyed the first one, it’s a bitter disappointment."
Posted Mar 18, 2005

Posted Sep 24, 2004
 
Shaun of the Dead (2004)91%
/

Posted Sep 12, 2004
 
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)21%
/
 
"A great waste of time, talent and resources"
Posted Aug 21, 2004
 
Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)11%

"A twisted and fascinating tale, with a climax that's as logical as it is unexpected"
Posted May 22, 2004
 
The Embalmer (2003)81%
/
 
"By the climax the last vestiges of mystery and believability have been so effectively destroyed that there's no real tension."
Posted Apr 29, 2004
 
Godsend (2004)4%
/
 
"Intelligent and gripping version that wields the same sledge-hammer horror and wit as the original"
Posted Mar 18, 2004
 
Dawn of the Dead (2004)77%
/
 
"Will appeal to...horror fans who prefer an ending that truly sinks its teeth into the story and concludes it with a crisp, satisfying crunch."
Posted Mar 11, 2004
 
Secret Window (2004)46%
/
 
"In an era of senseless action and lobotomized scripts that rely too heavily on special effects, even the modest food for thought offered by 'The Butterfly Effect' is welcome."
Posted Jan 22, 2004
 
The Butterfly Effect (2004)34%
/

/
 
"A respectful, interesting, and worthwhile adaptation"
Posted Oct 23, 2003

/
 
"The sure-handed direction of Carl Franklin...makes a complex story both lucid and believable."
Posted Oct 2, 2003
 
Out of Time (2003)66%
