Disturbing Behavior (1998)
Jul 2, 2005High School Mind Control Experiments
A smart and modestly enjoyable film that plays like a high school version of The Stepford Wives where students are being brainwashed
Katharine Isabelle
Ginger Snaps (2000)
Aug 2, 2001Teenage Girl Werewolves
Witty, wryly sarcastic modern take on the werewolf film from Canada as two teenage sister are affected – sort of like a remake of I Was a Teenage Werewolf by way of Ghost World. Two sequels followed.
Bones (2001)
Oct 31, 2001Ghetto Gangster's Supernatural Retribution
Blaxploitation homage designed as a vehicle for Snoop Dogg. Essentially a version of A Nightmare on Elm Street with Snoop as a pimp come back to haunt those who killed him
Carrie (2002)
Nov 22, 2004Telekinetic Teen's Revenge/Stephen King Adaptation
TV mini-series remake of the Stephen King novel, which restores many aspects of the book not in the 1976 film. Unfortunately, Brian De Palma has been replaced by a tv director who regards it as just another assignment
Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
Dec 2, 2003Friday the 13th/A Nightmare on Elm Street Crossover
The long promised crossover between the Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street films, this seems caught in a juggling act that fails to satisfy the requirements of either franchise
Ginger Snaps: Unleashed (2004)
Jan 7, 2006Teenage Girl Werewolf
The first of two sequels to the Canadian werewolf film, this takes place with the surviving sister placed in a rehab facility and is even better than the original
Ginger Snaps Back: The Begining (2004)
Jul 25, 2007Teenage Girl Werewolves
Third of the Ginger Snaps films, a prequel set during the pioneer era with Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle again as sisters taking refuge at a fort under attack by werewolves. The scene-setting and atmosphere of foreboding is superlative
30 Days of Night: Dark Days (2010)
Dec 15, 2021Vampire Hunters
Sequel to the modestly effective Alaskan-set vampire film 30 Days of Night, this holds up surprisingly well for something that gives all indication of being a throwaway video sequel
American Mary (2012)
Feb 22, 2013Underground World of Surgical Body Modification
Canada's twin sisters Jen and Sylvia Soska's second film is set in the dark underground of body modification,. Like an episode of tv's Nip/Tuck with a Suicide Girls ethos. Not perfect but an impressive maturation
13 Eerie (2013)
Mar 21, 2019Zombie Film
A zombie film from the director who subsequently went on to make the WolfCop films. The one thing this has going for it are some convincing zombie makeups and exxxxtremely gory splatter effects
Eve of Destruction (2013)
May 8, 2014Dark Energy Experiment Amok/Disaster Mini-Series
An impoverished sf disaster mini-series about a dark matter experiment going amok that manages to tediously drag out four hours of soap opera dramatics and control room doubletalk
See No Evil 2 (2014)
Mar 23, 2015Slasher Film
The Soska Sisters make a sequel to the 2006 slasher film. You cannot help but think that a sequel to such an average film is the sisters batting well below their capabilities. The surprise is that in their hands the result follows such traditional genre patterns
The Girl in the Photographs (2015)
May 16, 2016Slasher Film
The last film that Wes Craven is credited with (as producer) - a slasher film more that is interesting than most. Not to mention features an outrageously obnoxious performance from Kal Penn
Night of the Animated Dead (2021)
May 15, 2023Animated Remake of Night of the Living Dead
A remake of the original zombie film Night of the Living Dead conducted in animation
