Aug 31, 2000Time Travelling H.G. Wells vs Jack the Ripper
A clever and ingenious film from Nicholas Meyer in which H.G. Wells builds his own time machine and pursues Jack the Ripper through time to present-day San Francisco. Lots of witty play around Wells's cultural bewilderment and some great performances

Jul 21, 2000Resurrected Mummy Queen
Adaptation of Bram Stoker's Jewel of the Seven Stars about the spirit of an Ancient Egyptian queen possessing a modern day woman. Lavishly produced with a series of novelty deaths modeled on The Omen. Also the first mummy film to actually shoot in Egypt

Aug 19, 2001Intelligent Wolves
Adaptation of a Whitley Strieber book about intelligent wolves hunting in New York City from Michael Wadleigh, the director of Woodstock ... The film tends to bury Strieber’s straightforward horror story under social concerns as though wanting to distance itself from the horror label

Apr 1, 1999Kinky Perverse Family
The big screen version of the 1960s tv series and Charles Addams' cartoons is a highly enjoyable Hollywood Halloween Party, a chance for name actors to put on costume and ape life with a ghoulish, mildly perverse, moderately subversive spin

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
