Halloween 4 : The Return of Michael Myers

Stars: 2 / 10 Yawn. Barely bloody, completely borring, like watching baby-puke coloured paint dry. It's nothing short of a miracle t...

Eyes Wide Shut

Safe

Stars: 7  / 10 Subtle, slow-paced , and subtextual, Safe is an under-sung intellectualist indie masterpiece. An interesting look into ...

Shelter (aka 6 Souls)

Stars : 4  /  10 It begins well, the story promises "different", it offers up some atmosphere, and then it slowly dissolves in...

Tea and Sympathy

Stars: 8  / 10 An unexpected gem! This film takes on the serious topics of bullies, masculinity, conventional gender roles, homophobia, ...

The Abandoned

Stars: 2  /  10 An interesting idea, playing a bit with surrealism, quantum mechanics and the concept of destiny, but ultimately, this mov...

Incubus (1966)

Stars: 6 / 10 Amusing, with several lovely shots. The opening titles, in particular, were beautifully montages. The story's not speci...

Devil

Stars: 1 / 10 Lame. All the atmosphere and subtext of an after-school-special, coupled with the depth of a campfire story. As expected, S...

American History X

Hungry Wives (aka Season of the Witch, aka Jack's Wife)

Alone in the Dark

Stars: 0 / 10 On my list of "worst movies ever made". Totally worthless noise. No one should be subjected to this film, ever,...

Absentia

Stars: 4 / 10 Babysnatcher zombie-demon-kids vs impoverished agoraphobe widower, crazy priest and a blind boy. The moral of this story ...

Ravenous

Stars:  2 / 10 Weird and gross cannibal/vampire mashup. Sometimes funny (though perhaps unintentionally). One certainly expects better ...

Donnie Darko

Stars: 8 / 10 Science + dark humour, David Lynch-esque, twisted, cerebral, surreal. "Different" doesn't even begin to des...

Primer

Stars: 6 / 10 Slow start, but snowballs into something interesting. Good, but often confusing; definitely needs multiple viewings. Pers...

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Stars: 9 / 10 An absoulte MUST SEE for any sci-fi fan! This film helped to define the genre, with inovation in special effects and costu...

The Haunting

Stars: 7 / 10 60's cheesiness and painfully bad sound aside, its seriously CREEPY, with lots of atmosphere, as promised! Personal...

The Last Exorcism

Stars: 4 / 10 Exorcist-meets-BlairWitch. POV mocumentary. Not particularly original, but a little bit creepy. Overall, unimpressive, bu...
