- DirectorsJustin BensonAaron MoorheadStarsLou Taylor PucciNadia HilkerFrancesco CarneluttiA young man in a personal tailspin flees from US to Italy, where he sparks up a romance with a woman harboring a dark, primordial secret.refreshingly different tone for a horror movie, and done with great care
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsMia WasikowskaJessica ChastainTom HiddlestonIn the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds - and remembers.it's a return to del Toro's old style but it doesn't quite match up in overall quality; Chastain gives a great performance
- DirectorDavid Robert MitchellStarsMaika MonroeKeir GilchristOlivia LuccardiA young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter.good camp movies are rare; good camp movies that are appreciated are even rarer
- DirectorCraig William MacneillStarsDavid MorseJared BreezeRainn WilsonAn intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath's growing fascination with death.it's a little too film school, but is overall impressive; Rainn Wilson gives a performance that should make people take notice
- DirectorMickey KeatingStarsLauren Ashley CarterDean CatesBrian MorvantA family intervention goes horrifically awry within the snowy confines of an isolated lake house.Mickey Keating doesn't care what you think; the talented young filmmaker makes movies for himself and real horror fans; it's like The X-Files on acid
- DirectorTed GeogheganStarsAndrew SensenigBarbara CramptonLarry FessendenIn the cold, wintery fields of New England, a lonely old house wakes up every thirty years - and demands a sacrifice.it's creepy and scary, and doesn't feel a need to put a positive spin on humanity like so many horror movies
- DirectorMarjane SatrapiStarsRyan ReynoldsGemma ArtertonAnna KendrickA likable guy pursues his office crush with help from his evil talking pets, but things turn sinister when she stands him up for a date.it's not afraid to mix comedy and real darkness, and Reynolds proves he is a very good voice actor
- DirectorsJonathan MilottCary MurnionStarsElijah WoodRainn WilsonAlison PillA mysterious virus hits an isolated elementary school, transforming the kids into a feral swarm of mass savages. An unlikely hero must lead a motley band of teachers in the fight of their lives.it's balls to the wall stupidity
- DirectorsSeverin FialaVeronika FranzStarsLukas SchwarzElias SchwarzSusanne WuestTwin boys move to a new house with their mother after she has face-changing cosmetic surgery, but under the bandages is someone the boys don't recognize.it isn't as special as it thinks it is, but it's mostly done with quality (though it's too predictable, and it cheats)
- DirectorCorin HardyStarsJoseph MawleBojana NovakovicMichael McElhattonA family who moved into a remote mill house in Ireland finds themselves in a fight for survival with demonic creatures living in the woods.it should give you a decent scare and has nice visuals
- DirectorRobbie PickeringStarsNicholas BraunMackenzie DavisJosh FademIn the town of Dillford, humans, vampires and zombies were all living in peace - until the alien apocalypse arrived. Now three teenagers - one human, one vampire, and one zombie - have to team up to figure out how to get rid of the visitors.fun movie, where you can tell the actors are enjoying themselves
- DirectorsMatt DufferRoss DufferStarsAlexander SkarsgårdAndrea RiseboroughEmily Alyn LindA family takes refuge in a bomb shelter to avoid a dangerous outbreak.it has strong acting and a pretty good concept
- DirectorsJuanfer AndrésEsteban RoelStarsMacarena GómezNadia de SantiagoHugo Silva1950s Madrid: Montse, an agoraphobic woman, prefers to stay inside her apartment all the time. Her solitude is disturbed when she is forced to shelter their neighbor who injures himself and crawls up to her door.the very good gonzo performance by Macarena Gómez is the number one reason to watch it
- DirectorsDarren Lynn BousmanAxelle CarolynAdam GieraschStarsAdrienne BarbeauHunter SmitCameron EastonTen stories are woven together by their shared theme of Halloween night in an American suburb, where ghouls, imps, aliens and axe murderers appear for one night only to terrorize unsuspecting residents.it doesn't hold itself back; it gets quite weird and dark
- DirectorJason HowdenStarsMilo CawthorneJames Joshua BlakeKimberley CrossmanTwo teenage boys unwittingly summon an ancient evil entity known as The Blind One by delving into black magic while trying to escape their mundane lives.this is a fun crowd pleaser
- DirectorS. Craig ZahlerStarsKurt RussellPatrick WilsonMatthew FoxIn the Old West, a small-town sheriff and his rag-tag posse set out to rescue several townspeople from a brutal cave-dwelling, cannibalistic Indian tribe.though I love these types of movies, I wasn't as crazy about this one as many others, but Richard Jenkins gives a tremendous performance
- DirectorsJon KnautzTrevor MatthewsStarsAli CobrinAdam DiMarcoGeorge CarrollA beautiful young college student moves into a house that streams video to an X-rated website. After a deranged fan hacks the site and finds out where she lives, she spends the night fighting for her life.it avoids dissolving into a porno, giving us a solid slasher
- DirectorMichael DoughertyStarsAdam ScottToni ColletteDavid KoechnerA boy who has a bad Christmas accidentally summons a festive demon to his family home.I love the idea, but the follow through feels lazy
- DirectorUli EdelStarsNicolas CageSarah Wayne CalliesVeronica FerresA professor frantically searches for his son who was abducted during a Halloween carnival.if it didn't star the troll target Nicolas Cage, it would have gotten decent reviews; the script isn't that good, but it's a well directed and acted small budget horror
- DirectorsGrant HarveySteven HobanBrett SullivanStarsWilliam ShatnerGeorge BuzaRob ArcherInterwoven stories that take place on Christmas Eve, as told by one festive radio host: A family brings home more than a Christmas tree, a student documentary becomes a living nightmare, a Christmas spirit terrorizes, Santa slays evil.it's a decently written anthology, with some solid humor
- DirectorBrian James O'ConnellStarsFran KranzPedro PascalJoey KernA down on his luck cubicle worker and his slacker best friend discover their new boss is a vampire who is turning their coworkers into the un-dead.there are some good laughs, but overall it's inept
- DirectorLevan GabriadzeStarsHeather SossamanMatthew BohrerCourtney HalversonA group of online chatroom friends find themselves haunted by a mysterious, supernatural force using the account of their dead friend.it has its moments, but ultimately it's derivative
- DirectorTodd Strauss-SchulsonStarsTaissa FarmigaMalin AkermanAdam DevineA young woman grieving the loss of her mother, a famous scream queen from the 1980s, finds herself pulled into the world of her mom's most famous movie. Reunited, the women must fight off the film's maniacal killer.the idea is cool
- DirectorHenry HobsonStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerAbigail BreslinJoely RichardsonA teenage girl in the Midwest becomes infected by an outbreak of a disease that slowly turns the infected into cannibalistic zombies. During her transformation, her loving father stays by her side.it's one of those superficial movies that annoyingly pretends to be really deep; only worth seeing for Schwarzenegger fans
- DirectorPaul HyettStarsElliot CowanRosie DayCalvin DeanWhen passengers on a train are attacked by a creature, they must band together in order to survive until morning.it would have been an Ok TV movie
