Spiders (2000)
Dec 23, 2019Giant Spiders
In a whole bunch of ways this - plausibility being a big one of them - is a bad film. On the other hand, it does boast an entertaining array of giant spiders all emerged from a space shuttle crash

Crocodile (2000)
Mar 28, 2017Giant Killer Crocodile
Tobe Hooper delivers an entry amid the early-00s vogue for B-budget CGI monster movies, drawing clear inspiration from Lake Placid. Hooper had not made a good film since the 1980s and this does little to reverse the path of mediocrity
Toolbox Murders (2003)
Jun 3, 2005Apartment Block Slasher
After a decade-long slump, Tobe Hooper started to show he still had what it took with this remake of the 1980 slasher film
Mortuary (2005)
Nov 18, 2007Creature in the Crypt/Body Snatchers
Another effort in the sad slide into shabby amateurishness that marked that latter years of Tobe Hooper's career, a muddled effort set around a mortuary involving body-snatching fungus and deformed relatives in the crawlspaces
Mother of Tears: The Third Mother (2007)
Oct 19, 2008Italian Occult Horror
After 27 years, Dario Argento finally rounds out his Three Mothers trilogy begun way back with Suspiria but the underwhelming results give all evidence of his having lost his mojo
Autopsy (2008)
Apr 16, 2017Hospital of Horrors
Horror film conceived around having creepy things happening around a hospital, less so in terms of any rationale. What the film does have in its favour is that it is exxxtremely gory
Night of the Demons (2009)
Jun 24, 2013House of the Possessed Dead
Another pointless remake of an 80s horror film. The original was a cheap Evil Dead ripoff driven by cheesy effects; this provides more professional effects but only becomes a slickly produced assemblage of cliches we have seen dozens of times before
Fertile Ground (2011)
Mar 14, 2024Haunted House
Adam Gierasch, known for his gore-drenched horror films like Autopsy and Night of the Demons, takes a change of direction into the haunted house genre
Fractured (2013)
Mar 26, 2015Amnesiac Man Struggles Between Hell and Redemption
Film about an amnesiac man trying to piece his disturbing past together amid a series of surreal nightmares. This ends up not nearly as interesting as you feel it could have been
Tales of Halloween (2015)
Dec 14, 2015Anthology of Halloween Horror Stories
An anthology of Halloween-themed horror tales, all from different genre directors, including some interesting high-profile names. The results are uneven with the film providing a couple of amusing segments but nothing truly standout
House By the Lake (2017)
Jun 1, 2020Girl's Sinister Imaginary Companion
A strange film about parents who become concerned when their young daughter insists she has an imaginary fish man companion. This arrives at a head-scratchingly WTF ending
