" In terms of pure entertainment, it's a hell of a lot more satisfying than any of the other sequels."
Posted Oct 9, 2007
 
Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007)n/a
/
B-
 
" It might not break new ground, but within the confines of its genre, Black Christmas has more than enough gruesome, gory fun to satisfy."
Posted Dec 18, 2006
 
Black Christmas (2006)15%

B
 
" The pulsing soundtrack and eye-catching special effects are a long way from the subtle, metaphysical terrors of his later works, but it's still a superior horror film that deserves a wider audience."
Posted Aug 14, 2006
 
Sweet Home (1989)n/a
/
B-
 
" Manages to evoke the same atmosphere of claustrophobic brutality as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), but only for brief periods."
Posted Aug 10, 2006

Rusted Body: Guts of a Virgin III (1987)n/a

" For better or for worse, Komizu has pushed the boundaries of bad taste even further."
Posted Feb 17, 2006
 
Entrails of a Beautiful Woman (1986)n/a
/
D
 
" Even with the lack of originality, The Suicide Manual could have been an entertaining effort, were it not quite so dull and lifeless."
Posted Feb 7, 2006
 
The Suicide Manual (2003)n/a
/
D
 
" 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."
Posted Jan 30, 2006
 
Entrails of a Virgin (1986)n/a
/
C-
 
" Few fans will appreciate it as much as the Japanese or American versions, which are all of a consistently higher standard."
Posted Jan 26, 2006
 
Ring Virus (1999)n/a
/
B
 
" Resembles a nightmare more than a horror film, with logic and resolution taking a back seat to atmosphere and imagination."
Posted Dec 8, 2005
 
Marebito (2004)43%

" Premonition isn't a bad film; it's just a very average one."

Premonition (2004)n/a

" Beyond the script difficulties, H is simply too derivative to be satisfying."
Posted Jul 30, 2005
 
H (2002)80%

B-
 
" A decent psycho-thriller with plenty of style and a fistful of nice twists."
Posted Jul 26, 2005
 
Koma ()n/a
/
B-
 
" Park is adept at cranking up the tension, imbuing seemingly pedestrian scenes of family life with a dark and sinister undercurrent."
Posted Jul 11, 2005
 
Acacia (2003)n/a
/
B
 
" For the right viewer, Marronnier is a special find indeed: quirky, imaginative, and often funny."
Posted Jul 2, 2005
 
Marronnier (2004)n/a
/
C
 
" It's certainly not the next hidden gem of the Japanese horror boom, and viewers expecting that are likely to come away frustrated."
Posted May 31, 2005
 
Em (2005)n/a
/
C-
 
" After presenting us with a fairly strong beginning, Ochiai really doesn't have any idea how to end the film."
Posted May 19, 2005
 
Infection (2004)n/a
/
C+
 
" Looking beyond the narrative flaws, The Nameless is clearly the work of a capable director. Balagueró and his cinematographer create a wonderfully grimy atmosphere."
Posted Mar 28, 2005
 
The Sin Nombre (1999)20%
/
C+
 
" Looks more like one of last year's PC games."
Posted Feb 3, 2005
 
A.Li.Ce (2004)n/a
/
C
 
" The film isn't a total failure, but it's unlikely to find favor with the same people who fell in love with Versus."
Posted Feb 3, 2005
 
Alive (2004)n/a
/
C+
 
" By the time the credits roll the film has become tiresome and frustrating."
Posted Jan 14, 2005
 
Evil Dead Trap 2 (1991)n/a
/
B-
 
" 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."
Posted Oct 30, 2004
 
Ju-on: The Curse (2000)62%
/
A
 
" Genuinely compelling."
Posted Jul 7, 2004
 
King of the Ants (2004)100%
/
B+
 
" 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."
Posted Apr 16, 2004
 
Evil Dead Trap (1988)n/a
/
B-
 
" 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."
Posted Feb 9, 2004
 
Battle Royale II (2003)38%

" Grim subject matter aside, The Experiment is a rewarding film."

" An exceptional film. It's exciting, intelligent, touching, and bleakly humorous."
