The Nosferatu Diaries: Embrace of the Vampire (1995)
May 9, 1999Vampire Erotica
Vampire erotica that is largely premised around seeing Alyssa Milano take her clothes off and little else
Jordan Ladd
The Specials (2000)
Jan 26, 2026Superhero Parody
An obscure parody about a team of inept and dysfunctional superheroes that was one of the earliest works from a then unknown James Gunn (who not only writes but stars as one of the superheroes)
Cabin Fever (2002)
Aug 14, 2003Backwoods Horror/Deadly Infection
The first film from Eli Roth, which proved a solid hit, one that gets back to gore-drenched horror basics. Not quite the classic it was acclaimed but delivers the goods and with a strong dose of wryly sarcastic humour
Inland Empire (2006)
Aug 17, 2007Surrealism
David Lynch's last theatrical films and probably the most divided of Lynch's films. Another delve into cryptic surrealism that arrives at no clear plot destinations or clues about what is going on
Death Proof (2007)
Nov 18, 2007Psycho Stuntman
Quentin Tarantino’s less interesting half of the Grindhouse double-bill. Tarantino makes a film about a psycho stuntman but gets sidetracked by referencing 1970s car chase movies
Hostel Part II (2007)
Dec 14, 2008Sadism and Torture
Eli Roth's sequel to his earlier hit, this emerges as a pallid copy of its predecessor, having merely changed the sexes of the protagonists and lacking the original's gut-churning impact
Grace (2009)
Aug 30, 2012Nightmare Baby
A disturbingly effective story of a mother who gives birth to a baby that is not human. An immensely assured directorial debut that eschews cliche horror effect and becomes a chilling study in psychological disintegration
Awaken (2012)
Jun 6, 2014Romance Across Time in Dreams
This is a romance film with conceptual ambitions that starts out by killing the heroine in the first scene and then has she and the guy meeting in lucid time-travelling dreams
Satanic Panic (2019)
Jan 3, 2021Virgin Pursued by Devil Worshippers Comedy
Rather funny comedy about Satanists and a virginal pizza girl who is chased as their intended victim. This comes with a bizarrely akilter sense of humour that reminds of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours
