Devil (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10


Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10


Night of the Demons (2009)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10


As with all horror classics, it was only a matter of time before we got a Night of the Demons "re-imagining" -- another addition to the remake bandwagon that nobody asked for. Not surprisingly the movie fails to top the original, but still somehow managed to keep me somewhat entertained until the credits rolled.
The Hole (2009)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10


Director Joe Dante returns to his horror-ish, family-friendly roots with The Hole, a flick that seemed somewhat promising from the trailers. Unfortunately, although The Hole did successfully capture the feel of a fun semi-horror romp, this turned out to be your pretty standard genre yarn, with a mediocre and highly predictable premise. You'd never guess it was Joe Dante behind the camera, as it seemed like it could've been directed by any other person.
Altitude (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
4/10


Altitude is a film that I've been somewhat interested in given it's fairly creative concept and potential Lovecraftian vibe. Sadly all the movie had was a concept, because the final product would've been better off as a short or a segment in some sort of anthology.
Lost Boys: The Thirst (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10


The Loved Ones (2009)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


The Loved Ones is a film that offers nothing new to the table (literally, as you'll see in the movie), but thanks to the creative direction newcomer Sean Byrne took with it, we're given a surprisingly refreshing look at the normally bland psychopathic family sub-genre.
Monsters (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10
 

Described as "this year's District 9," Monsters is definitely love-hate-type film, especially when you go in expecting to see what the title would imply -- Monsters, because you will be sorely disappointed. The flick is, in fact, more of a human drama with a side of romance and a dash of sci-fi and thriller elements for good measure. I personally liked the movie, but I knew exactly what kind of film it was before actually seeing it.
Frozen (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


Writer/director Adam Green has made quite a name for himself among the genre in a mere handful of years. Debuting with the gory throwback slasher Hatchet, then the mind-bending thriller Spiral a year later. He has returned once again with the psychological survival pic Frozen, a film that I wasn't quite sure what to expect from going in. Surprisingly, the movie turned out to be quite a treat, despite the fact that it simply follows three characters and primarily takes place on a ski lift.
Primal (2009)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


Primal turned out to be a surprisingly entertaining Aussie flick, despite borrowing from several other genre pics.

The movie follows a group of friends as they journey to an unknown jungle location in search of an ancient rock painting that hasn't been seen in over 100 years. With only old photos to go by, they somehow manage to find their way to the painting, but not before venturing through an ominous old cave, where one of the girls cuts her arm before passing out.
