The Omen (2006) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"Moore forgot the subtle brilliance of Damien's portrayal in the original, which was largely as a pawn."

The Descent (2005) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"Some of the best horror work in years."

The Wicker Man (2006) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"...uses the twisted matriarchy to generate male paranoia and arguably misogynistic thrills once Edward begins fighting back, which seems a cheap route to take for a filmmaker capable of so much more."

Feast (2005) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"...suffers from spastic camera syndrome, along with a debilitating bout of hyper-editing disorder."

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"...maintains that sense of rural horror, and actually foregrounds it to the point that everything else becomes meaningless. Although still set in 1973, his remake has none of the social ramifications of Hooper's original; his vanful of twentysomething hippies doesn't represent a generation in flux, but rather a temporally displaced cross-section of the MTV generation."

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"Lacking anything resembling subtext and anything resembling genuine suspense, The Beginning is little more than just another hackneyed rehash of increasingly diminishing returns."

Black Christmas (1974) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"Clark decided to rely almost entirely on the point-of-view shot, which at the time was relatively new and decidedly unsettling."

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"Of all the psycho-slasher films to come out during the decade of the 1980s, Wes Craven's A Nightmare On Elm Street is without doubt one of the most inventive and literate."

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) - Rated 21 Mar 2009
"...exquisitely beautiful, horrifying, and heart-wrenchingly sweet."
