The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000)
May 1, 2001War Between Angels
The third of the Prophecy films with Christopher Walken as the angel Gabriel. This time the wry humour and interplay of ideas of the other films feels more thinly drawn

Dracula 2000 (2000)
Dec 22, 2000Dracula in the Modern Day
An interesting attempt to bring Dracula into the modern day - the film that Dracula A.D. 1972 should have been. An unknown Gerard Butler makes a captivatingly magnetic Dracula
Dracula II: Ascension (2003)
Sep 17, 2012Dracula in the Modern Day
The first of two sequels to Dracula 2000. This is based around the idea of trying to scientifically examine a vampire's body, sort of a vampire film by way of CSI

White Noise: The Light (2007)
Apr 21, 2008Premonitions of Death

My Bloody Valentine (2009)
Feb 24, 2009Slasher Film
Another in the fad for remakes of 70s/80s films. where the 1981 slasher film gets reworked. If this did not come with the 3D gimmick, it would be no more than a routine direct-to-dvd release
Drive Angry (2011)
Feb 26, 2011Occult Car Chase Film
Essentially a supernatural version of a 1970s car chase movie with Nicolas Cage as a motorist who has escaped from Hell to settle a score. This makes a play for the trashy and absurd and comes out all the more entertaining for it
Terminator Genisys (2015)
Jul 4, 2015Time-Travelling Killer Androids
A hodgepodge of competing elements – an aging Arnold Schwarzenegger, a soft reboot, alternate timelines, reintroduction of the familiar, twists to the familiar – that make no sense on a narrative level, least of all come anywhere near what James Cameron delivered back in the first two films
Play Dead (2022)
Feb 11, 2024Sinister Happenings at the Morgue
Bailee Madison takes a drug that fakes death and wakes up at the morgue – only to discover that coroner Jerry O’Connell is running an organ harvesting operation
