Aug 24, 2013Home Invasion Thriller
Adam Wingard directs a home invasion thriller in a similar vein to The Strangers. This is a film that strips everything extraneous away and simply lets Wingard go for broke and give the audience a brutal and intense workout – at which you cannot deny he succeeds most satisfyingly

Feb 26, 2013Horror Anthology
Unique anthology that offers 26 episodes from different genre directors, each ending with a death. The episodes vary wildly in quality and approach but a sufficient number ignore all good taste and/or travel waaaay across taboo lines

Sep 2, 2012Anthology of Found Footage Horror Tales
An anthology of five short Found Footage horror films each from a different director. As with any anthology these are variable in tone but are on the whole mostly effective and contain a number of alternately unearthly and spooky moments

Sequel to the modest success of V/H/S, an anthology of short Found Footage horror films featuring a different line-up of genre directors. The episodes are competent at best, none standout and mostly forgettable

Sep 2, 2017Notebook with Killing Powers
The English-language remake of the popular Japanese franchise that extends to manga, a four film series, a tv series and an anime series. Essentially remaking the first film, this is passable enough in its own right – not terrible – but still no patch on either of the original Japanese films
