Fear (1990)
Aug 4, 2000Psychic Link with a Serial Killer
Fine copy of Eyes of Laura Mars from Rockne S. O'Bannon in which clairvoyant Ally Sheedy gains the ability to see through the eyes of a serial killer
Pruitt Taylor Vince
Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
Nov 21, 2003Deathdream
Adrian Lyne became one of the most visually exciting directors of the 1980s. Here he makes an afterlife film that swings between moments of greatness and a script that seems very confused about what is happening
S1m0ne (2002)
Nov 15, 2003Virtual Hollywood Actress
Andrew Niccol makes a comedy in which down-on-his-luck film director Al Pacino obtains a computer program for simulating a performance and creates a virtual actress, hoodwinking the public into believing she is a real person.
Identity (2003)
Sep 11, 2003Remote Motel Psycho-Thriller
John Cusack leads a star cast line-up in what appears to be a slasher where a group of people gathered at a motel are being killed by someone among their number. Big conceptual twists then ensue
Monster (2003)
Apr 19, 2004True-Life Serial Killer
Patty Jenkins and Charlize Theron combine forces on their portrait of female serial killer Aileen Wuornos. The result won Theron, who undergoes an amazing transformation, an Academy Award for Best Actress
Constantine (2005)
Mar 7, 2005Occult Investigator/Comic Book Adaptation
Adaptation of DC’s Hellblazer comic-book that gets the Hollywood treatment where all of the character's background and look has been thrown out and the part badly miscast with Keanu Reeves
Captivity (2007)
Feb 13, 2009Imprisonment Thriller
Blatant Saw copy from Roland Joffe, a director better known for his arthouse works, from a script by cult director Larry Cohen. This starts stylishly before collapsing in a series of ridiculous twists
Creature (2011)
Dec 31, 2011Alligator Man
An enthusiastic B movie that takes its ridiculous premise of a group of friends encountering an alligator man lurking in the backwoods Louisiana swamps far too seriously for its own good
The Mysterious Island (2012)
Dec 29, 2013Desert Island Survival/Time Warp
About the ninth film version of Jules Verne's desert island survival story. This doesn't add the giant animals/insects other versions do, although we still get a number of wild sf elements the original book never had. Problem though is that the film never adds enough to make proceedings very interesting
Beautiful Creatures (2013)
Feb 14, 2013Young Adult/War Between Witches
Attempt to create another Twilight franchise that quickly becomes the anti-Twilight, shucking the pro-chastity message for a decidedly inflammatory stance against small-minded Christian prejudice
13 Sins (2014)
Jun 5, 2015Game of Deadly and Extreme Challenges
I was very impressed with Daniel Stamm's previous film The Last Exorcism; this was his follow-up – a brutal English-language remake of a Thai film where people are offered the challenge of engaging in increasingly more malicious and extreme acts to win large sums of money
The Devil’s Candy (2015)
Jan 30, 2018Heavy Metal Horror/Occult Brooding/Psycho Stalker
From Australian director Sean Byrne who made the splendidly twisted The Loved Ones, this starts out a heavy metal horror film that broods with occult imagery and a sense of bad things about to explode
Superman (2025)
Sep 6, 2025Comic-Book Superhero
James Gunn’s almost completely successful reboot of the cinematic Superman, the first film that comes with a total confidence in the comic-book source and where Gunn is not afraid to be goofy
