Hostel (2005) Scott Weinberg This is a grim, gory, and unapologetically grungy piece of "survival horror." I dug it.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
30 Days of Night (2007) Scott Weinberg A blissfully mean-spirited and aggressively creepy terror tale, and one that's not content to simply rest on its one good concept.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Hannibal Rising (2007) Scott Weinberg The guy's about as intimidating as a mildly irritated kitten, and that certainly doesn't up the creep factor.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Fido (2006) Scott Weinberg Pretty funny, surprisingly smart, pleasant to look at, and often quite sick.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007) Scott Weinberg As far as stuff like mood, atmosphere, tone, and intensity is concerned, this sequel is a completely empty vessel.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Hostel Part II (2007) Scott Weinberg A tight-fisted slow burn that whacks you in face with two or three really horrifying sequences.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Captivity (2007) Scott Weinberg Little more than a grungy-looking TV movie of the week with some pointless gore tossed in.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
The Hitcher (2007) Scott Weinberg If you can't improve upon your original in some small way, then you're simply churning out assembly-line product for a gradually more disinterested fan-base.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Hatchet (2006) Scott Weinberg Feels like an old-school slasher flick that's been hidden on a dusty shelf for the past twenty years. And yes, I mean that as a compliment.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
The Eye (2008) Scott Weinberg Takes a B-minus import and turns it into a D-minus retread.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
My Bloody Valentine (2009) Scott Weinberg No pretense, no delusions, just slick, basic stalk & shock mayhem with a 3-D coating that works unexpectedly well.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Friday the 13th (2009) Scott Weinberg I'd say they did a solid enough job of resurrecting a simple scary tale for a new generation.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
The Last House on the Left (2009) Scott Weinberg A fascinating and confrontational horror film that deals with terrors a lot more chilling than some dude swinging a machete.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Drag Me to Hell (2009) Scott Weinberg A bit gross, a bit silly, and entirely entertaining.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Dead Snow (2009) Scott Weinberg Earns points for enthusiasm, creativity, and a powerful devotion to all things ultra-splattery.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Antichrist (2009) Scott Weinberg A confrontational film that dances between the sublime, the mundane, and the shocking with little to no regard for audience expectations.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

The Final Destination (2009) Scott Weinberg An absolute slap in the face to the fans who made the franchise a hit in the first place.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Halloween II (2009) Scott Weinberg There's not a pained expression, a confused sneer, or a filthy grimace that Zombie won't linger on for 10 seconds longer than he needs to.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review

Paranormal Activity (2007) Scott Weinberg A fresh coat of paint applied to an impressively old-fashioned ghost story.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
The Box (2009) Scott Weinberg As a dark, strange and enjoyably paranoid little sci-fi thriller, I'd say the good points outweigh the bad by a long shot.
Posted Aug 28, 2015  Edit critic review
Carriers (2009) Scott Weinberg It's not a film about the gradual extinction of humankind -- it's actually about the horrible demise of humanity.
Posted Aug 26, 2015  Edit critic review
Daybreakers (2009) Scott Weinberg A rock-solid afternoon matinee sort of movie, packed as it is with so many disparate genre influences. Confidently crafted and legitimately clever.
Posted Aug 26, 2015  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 26, 2015  Edit critic review
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Scott Weinberg So generic, so lazy, and so forgettable they may as well have "we're not even trying" plastered across the bottom of the screen.
Posted Aug 26, 2015  Edit critic review
The Human Centipede (2009) Scott Weinberg A horror import that actually has the confidence and audacity to deliver something disturbingly different.
