Tomato
3/5

Attack Girls Swim Team vs the Unliving Dead

"It's no Tokyo Gore Police, but it gets the job done when you just wanna kick back and watch Asian chicks simulate sex between bouts of zombie slaughtering mayhem."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Autopsy (2008)

"I suppose the best way to describe my reaction to Autopsy is this: casual indifference."

Mike Bracken

Splat
2/5

Cadaver (2009)

"For all it's twists and turns, Cadaver is really little more than a merging of lazy American horror screenwriting, Asian ghost girl cinema aesthetics, and some occasionally inspired cinematography."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
4/5

The Chaser (2009)

"The Chaser is one of the better Korean films to emerge since Park Chan Wook's Oldboy."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Dead in 3 Days (2008)

"Dead in 3 Days isn't a particularly effective genre film, but it is more interesting than the DVD cover description would lead you to believe."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Dead Meat (2004)

"A loving homage to the gory morti viventi films of men like Peter Jackson, George Romero, and Lucio Fulci, Dead Meat makes up for its budgetary shortcomings with a lot of heart (and more than a few brains, too)."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
4/5

Dead Snow (2009)

"There's a Grand Guignol level of excess in the latter stages of Dead Snow, wherein Wirkola simply cuts loose and plays a game of "how can I top this?" with each new scene."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Deadgirl (2008)

"Deadgirl is a relatively schizophrenic viewing experience--one filled with bizarre tonal shifts that are odder than even the admittedly out there subject matter."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Gutterballs

"Gutterballs may not have any redeeming value in the eyes of highbrow film fans, but for folks who love sleazy exploitation cinema it's time well spent."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)

"The Haunting in Connecticut is never particularly scary--making it a horror film for people who don't really like horror films."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Header (2006)

"Header is faithful to the novella that inspired it--right down to every repulsive detail. It's guaranteed to offend or disgust anyone with taste, but I loved it anyway."

Mike Bracken

Splat
1/5

Horsemen (2009)

"Horsemen proves that production company Platinum Dunes is capable of more than just screwing up remakes of classic horror films-they're equally adept at ruining original ideas as well."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Hush (2008)

"Hush never breaks new narrative ground, but Tonderai understands the ins and outs of the films he's aping and revels in giving us what we expect."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

The Last House on the Left (2009)

"Last House on the Left stands as the second Craven remake where the new filmmaker manages to get more right than wrong."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
5/5

Martyrs (2008)

"The film's sense of philosophy is what elevates Martyrs from the "torture porn" ghetto and places it alongside more intellectually unsettling films by men like Michael Haneke, Pier Pasolini, and Gaspar Noe."

Mike Bracken

Splat
2/5

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009)

"With a title like Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, you probably don't expect a classic film-which is a good thing, because The Asylum's latest release is a terrible movie."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Mum & Dad (2008)

"Mum & Dad feels like a Rob Zombie film merged with Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre, told with a distinctly English tone."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
5/5

Near Dark (1987)

"Near Dark still stands as one of vampire cinema's most underrated classics."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

Saw VI (2009)

"Saw VI is a step in the right direction, but it's still a film more likely to appeal to fans of the earlier entries than win new converts to the cause."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
5/5

The Shark Is Still Working (2006)

"The Shark is Still Working is essential viewing for Jaws fanatics and anyone interested in filmmaking in general."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
4/5

Splinter (2008)

"Splinter is another reaffirmation of my faith that horror can be more than boring remakes and sequels. It's proof that there are still good ideas out there."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
4/5

Stuck (2007)

"Fans who like their films darkly humorous and filled with scathing social commentary (both subtle and obvious) should find Stuck to their liking."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
5/5

Trick 'r Treat (2009)

"Trick 'r Treat was well worth the wait and is destined to join Carpenter's Halloween as required viewing every October 31st."

Mike Bracken

Splat
1/5

While She Was Out (2008)

"If you ever found yourself wondering what First Blood would have been like with Kim Basinger playing John Rambo, then wonder no more-just run to the video store, grab a copy of While She Was Out and prepare to be astounded-for all the wrong reasons."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3/5

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

"Wolverine isn't on the same level as The Dark Knight or Iron Man, but it does just enough things right to justify the price of the ticket."

Mike Bracken

Tomato
3.5/5

Zombieland (2009)

"Zombieland doesn't take itself even remotely seriously, which makes it a nice counterpoint to all the nihilistic zombie flicks shambling around out there."

Mike Bracken
