The Twilight Sa...
OK 66 Points 2011

The beginning of the end is perhaps not the best episode to begin viewing the Twilight Saga, but family duty called. Which come to think of it, was the theme of the movie: Family Duty, Supernatural Style.

For a parent in tow, Breaking Dawn – Part 1 was more museum piece than entertainment…

Only Lovers Lef...
Perfect 66 Points 2013

Brilliant vampire movie, thy name is Only Lovers Left Alive. Literate, laconic and full of lusciously languorous lassitude, it presents as ageless and au courant. Jim Jarmusch’s undead triumph introduces four vampires, though the V word is never used: Adam & Eve, Kit & Ava. Trust me, they …

Beetlejuice
Very Good 66 Points 1988

Lesser Tim Burton and greater Michael Keaton add up to a fitfully funny fantasy. Keaton nails the title role, a ghost-for-hire paid to chase off pesky humans. If only he were onscreen for more of the movie.

Burton achieved greater comic-horror results with Edward Scissorhands

The Orphanage
Great 52 Points 2007

I didn’t know this was going to be a Spanish language film when I rented it — but I stuck with the first 10 minutes… and boy I’m glad I did. I’m not even much of a horror movie fan, but the Orphanage managed to thrill and scare without all the usual horror movie cliche’s and the gripping stor…

Great 40 Points 2009

Sometimes a simple approach is best, and “Paranormal Activity” proves it. This movie gets us all in touch with those scary times all of us have experienced when things go bump in the night. Never having to result to gore, or that cheesiness that most of us have come to expect in popular teen h…

Good 36 Points 1994

A macabre tale of a twisted couple (Woody Narrelson and Juliette Lewis) who road-trip along route 666 (yeah, that’s right – route 666) on a killing spree that serves as the backdrop for director Oliver Stone’s almost psychedelic filming style. This is a cult movie to be sure – but unlike othe…

Halloween
Really Great 32 Points 1978

A classic that remains as powerful and amazing as it was nearly 30 years ago. This low budget masterpiece is what horror was originally all about, and spawned generations of imitations, a remake and 7 sequels that never lived up to the same level. This film has developed a cult following and to …

HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP.

THIS MOVIE WAS SCARY.

I’m not good at scary movies — I get scared too easily, and should avoid them. I didn’t avoid this when I was alone in my hotel room one night and it was on HBO. I wish I hadn’t watched it, because it d…
