Sometimes They Come Back … Again (1996)
Mar 1, 1999Supernatural Retribution
Sequel to the Stephen King adapted film about hoodlums resurrected from the dead, this descends into an incredible silliness. Featuring a teenage Hillary Swank
Hilary Swank
The Gift (2000)
Jan 23, 2001Clairvoyant Murder Mystery
An uncommon misstep from Sam Raimi. Despite the fact he has a sterling cast onboard and a script from Billy Bob Thornton, the medium thriller plot rehashes old ground and comes out fairly bland
Insomnia (2002)
Sep 14, 2002Alaskan Psycho-Thriller
Christopher Nolan's second film, an English-language remake of a Norwegian thriller. The action is relocated to Alaska and gets the addition of Robin Williams as a serial killer but is far less effective than the original
The Core (2003)
Jun 9, 2003Journey to the Centre of the Earth
A CGI disaster film about a journey to the centre of the Earth to restart the magnetic core. This is a film construed as no more than a series of spectacular self-contained disaster set-pieces, often irrespective of any of them making sense
The Reaping (2007)
May 5, 2007Modern-Day Biblical Plagues
Reasonable budgeted film about a series of Biblical plagues being visited upon a rural Louisiana town. An interesting set up that flounders amid a confused script
The Resident (2011)
Feb 20, 2011Stalker Landlord
The second effort from the revived Hammer Films, which creates some reasonable creepy effect in the story of Hilary Swank dealing with Jeffrey Dean Morgan as a stalker landlord after moving into a dream apartment
I Am Mother (2019)
Jun 22, 2019Survival Shelter Drama
A unique and original fallout shelter drama from Australia that sits in an interesting place of ambiguity. What makes the film stand out is its unique robot design
The Hunt (2020)
Mar 27, 2020Human Bloodsports/Liberals Hunt Conservatives
Controversial variant on the human bloodsports plot of The Most Dangerous Game but where liberals hunt conservatives. A film with a darkly satiric bite that sets out to offend people on both sides of the political fence
