Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Paul Bartel's light-hearted direction keeps this demolition derby on an amusing track, despite the graphic violence, and there are digs at US political apathy and the nation's obsession with sports. ” – Radio Times Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% 4/5 EDIT “While not a true-blue horror movie, Reiner's adept exercise in chilling claustrophobia nevertheless contains numerous jolts.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 4/5 EDIT “The film offers plenty of comic-book heroics and explosive stunts, and Costner gives one of his finest performances as the half man/half fish whose steely character holds this full-blooded epic adventure together.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Army of Darkness (1992) 68% 2/5 EDIT “As the second sequel to his classic Evil Dead, however, it's a vapid exercise in watered-down horror kitsch that betrays the whole ethos of the sublime original. ” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Prince of Darkness (1987) 60% 2/5 EDIT “Director John Carpenter takes one of his sporadic delves into Nigel Kneale sci-fi/horror territory with tedious results.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Pumpkinhead (1988) 51% 3/5 EDIT “Winston's creature is as awesomely frightening and brilliantly constructed and offers more than enough feral scream-lined chills to thrill along to. ” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Ninth Gate (1999) 44% 3/5 EDIT “This satisfying gothic chiller has moody atmosphere, a stunning score (from Wojciech Kilar) and sinister unease to spare as it leads the viewer up numerous garden paths to a disappointing hallucinatory climax.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Sinister 2 (2015) 14% 2/5 EDIT “Superficially faithful to the original film's subtle horror, this sloppy sequel diffuses what one character calls "the aesthetic observance of violence" into the safely ludicrous and lifeless. ” – Radio Times Nov 5, 2025 Full Review The Immigrant (2013) 85% 4/5 EDIT “A brilliant Marion Cotillard performance illuminates director James Gray's refined costume drama set in 1920s New York. ” – Radio Times Nov 5, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 15% 2/5 EDIT “The film makes an attempt at fleshing out the maniacs' backstories -
