 | Saw (2004)
Why? That is my question. Why did they have to take a perfectly good horror film and tack on an arbitrary twist at the end that negates everything that went before it. Why? Saw had so much promise all throughout, and, if done right, the ending could have tied it all together and really... | | review posted: May 24, 2005 |
|  | The Gift (2000)
It's not often that you come across a horror film that tells a story with intelligence and is more concerned with the people in the story than splattering blood and guts all over the screen. Well The Gift is one of the better horror films of recent years, and with names like Sam Raimi and... |  | review posted: April 12, 2005 |

 | Peeping Tom (1960)
When Peeping Tom was first released in 1960, it was universally reviled by critics and audiences alike for its sadism and mixing of sex and violence, and essentially ended the career of its director, Michael Powell. To say it was misunderstood at the time would be an understatement, as... |  | review posted: April 9, 2005 |
|  | Don't Look Now (1973)
Don't Look Now is a strange motion picture, drenched in symbolism, and with a labyrinthine plot that keeps the audience's minds spinning and wondering what the meaning of all of its odd shots is. Well eventually it all does come together, but, well, maybe one viewing isn't enough to soak... | | review posted: April 6, 2005 |

 | Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Mutilating zombies has never been funnier than in Shaun of the Dead. Taking a page from the Evil Dead franchise, this film provides plenty of blood, guts, and gut-busting comedy. But what's really brilliant about it is that it doesn't limit itself to comedy and zombie-killing, but also... | | review posted: March 28, 2005 |
|  | Darkman (1990)
Before the Spider-Man franchise, Sam Raimi helmed another comic book superhero film: Darkman. It is the story of many superheroes: a freak accident leaves a man as a societal outcast, struggling to come to grips with this freak that he has become. The first two-thirds of Darkman are... | | review posted: February 20, 2005 |

 | Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
As far as offbeat movies go, Bubba Ho-Tep takes the cake and runs about 300 miles down a swampy path into the woods with it. In a retirement community in East Texas, Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell) longs for the days when he could get out of bed. He meets none other than JFK (Ossie Davis)... | | review posted: July 19, 2004 |
