Amityville 3-D (1983)
Aug 7, 1999Haunted House
This was the third of the Amityville films, released amid the early 1980s 3D revival. Nothing more than the usual except for various things popping out of the screen

Millennium (1989)
Mar 9, 2001Time Travel
Film adaptation of a time travel novel by John Varley, one of the finest SF writers in the world, that ends up bluntening and dumbing the story down
The Dark Half (1993)
Aug 4, 2001Writer's Evil Doppelganger/Stephen King Adaptation
George Romero's adaptation of a Stephen King novel with writer Timothy Hutton haunted by an evil alter ego. Underrated and quite possibly the King adaptation that is the most faithful to its source material
Fallen (1998)
Feb 1, 2000Cop vs Body-Hopping Demon
A smart and intelligent supernatural thriller with Denzel Washington cast as a detective who sends a serial killer to the execution chamber only to find he now faces a demon that can inhabit any person that it touches
Resurrection (1999)
Dec 3, 2000Serial Killer Thriller
Quite reasonable serial killer thriller, undeniably influenced by Se7en, with Christopher Lambert tracking a killer who believes he can resurrect Christ
The Divine Ryans (1999)
Sep 26, 1999Family Saga/Father's Ghost/Surreal Dreams
Canadian family saga told through the eyes of a young boy growing up amid a strange extended Newfoundland family. Featuring a number of fantastical elements.
Land of the Dead (2005)
Aug 5, 2005Zombies
George Romero's return to the zombie genre after twenty years, after others starting remaking and homaging his films. Romero still makes potent social metaphors but the gory extremes of his earlier films seem tamed down
The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
Jun 21, 2006Backroads Brutality
Wes Craven's Backwoods Brutality classic gets a gore-drenched makeover from Alexandre Aja. One of the better amid the 2000s fad for horror remakes where the original is dragged into the modern day in some interesting ways
AVPR: Aliens vs Predator Requiem (2007)
Jan 19, 2008Alien/Predator Series' Crossover
Second of the Alien/Predator crossovers and the absolute nadir of either series. Gone is the suspense of either series' earlier entries and the creatures are now no more than standard monsters in a teen horror film
Superhero Movie (2008)
May 4, 2008Superhero Movie Parody
A Scary Movie-styled parody of the early 00s spate of superhero films, this has a few amsingly on-target spoofs of its targets (especially Spider-Man) but is mostly scattershot
Don’t Look Up (2021)
Jan 8, 2022The End of the World/Satire
The perfect film for the Covid era. A devastatingly on the ball satire on the ineptitude of people’s response in the face of an extinction level threat to the Earth from an oncoming comet as government agencies tries to minimise the news
