April Fools Day (2008)

The Butcher Brothers

The film offers no redeeming values, except for maybe some of the female eye-candy from the lead actresses. There aren't any scares, nudity, or even gore, and I felt as though I was watching some cheesy day-time soap...

Bedevilled (2010)

Chul-soo Yang

Bedevilled isn't for everyone -- it's a drama for a majority of the running time, giving us proper development of these characters and enough reason for the viewer to want them to die. Once the killing happens, it...

Behind the Walls 3D

Awaiting Release

French

Julien Lacombe, Pascal Sid

France, 1922 -- Suzanne , a young novelist lacking inspiration decides to isolate herself in the countryside to write her new book. As Suzanne discovers a sealed-up room in the basement of her house, she starts writing oddly...

Pre-Production

English

Daddy's Girl (1996)

Martin Kitrosser

The film's predictable and clichéd, but well paced and kept my interest from the start. The Jody character is an interesting study on a troubled young girl, with no regard for human life what-so-ever. The flick could...

Dracula Year Zero

In Development

English

Gary Shore (in negotiations)

No official plot yet, but it's said to follow Prince Vlad Dracula in the height of his reign before he became the figure known simply as "Dracula."

Exit Humanity

Awaiting Release

English

John Geddes

Set in 1870’s Tennessee, Exit Humanity is the legend of Edward Young’s horrific and dramatic journey through an unexplainable outbreak of the walking dead to lay to rest the most important thing in his life, his son’s ashes...

Faces in the Crowd (2011)

Julien Magnat

Faces in the Crowd is a good example of a movie that offers a fairly original and intriguing premise, but suffers a very bland and poor execution. Milla fans may enjoy this, but viewers seeking a horror flick will likely...

Falling Slowly

In Development

English

Chris Sparling

No official plot yet, but it's said to be about a couple whose apartment is haunted by a dark presence.

Frozen (2010)

Adam Green

Frozen is a surprisingly good example of a seemingly simple survival situation made into a harrowing 90-minute story of people going against the odds and attempt to make it out of a dire predicament alive. The film...

Hidden in the Woods

Awaiting Release

Spanish

Patricio Vallardes

Ana and Anny are two sisters whom have been raised in isolation, under the atrocity of drug dealing and the incestuous obsession of their grim father. Finally fed up with the abuse, the girls call the police and he's...

Let the Right One In (2008)

Tomas Alfredson

More of a romance-drama than a horror flick, this proved to be a good and semi-original take on the vampire sub-genre. Though, due to its slow-pace it will likely turn off viewers, but if you don't mind the lack of...

Loner (2008)

Jae-Shik Park

Can you say "A Tale Of Two Sisters"-wannabe? Loner wants to be more than it is and ends up being anything but good. It's a pathetic drama with a couple of horror scenes thrown in for good measure. I'm...

Love Object (2003)

Robert Parigi

A movie very similar to May, which you as a viewer will either love or hate. If you liked that movie, then you'll probably like this.

Martyrs

In Development

English

Daniel Stamm

No official plot yet, but the original revolved around a woman and her childhood friend, who seek revenge on those that victimized and abused them.

Memories of Murder (2003)

Joon-ho Bong

A very good South Korean crime/thriller that keeps you guessing from start to finish. Definitely worth a check if you're into Asian flicks or just starting up. Check this out!... NOW!

Nang-Nak (1999)

Nonzee Nimibutr

Good Thai horror film, with an excellent story. Don't bother looking for this unless you're really only seeing it for the story behind it and not the horror aspect, because then you'll end up disappointed.

Only Loves Left Alive

Pre-Production

English

Jim Jarmusch

No official plot yet, but it's being described as "an unusual love story between two vampires who have been in love for centuries."

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

Guillermo del Toro

Director Guillermo del Toro delivers us a masterpiece of dark fantasy and post-war drama that only he can do. This is definitely a film that you absolutely cannot miss.

Paperhouse (1981)

Bernard Rose

A good movie to check out if you're looking for an original fantasy horror film with an excellent story. Don't expect much horror though.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Pre-Production

English

N/A

Tells the timeless story of a woman’s quest for love and independence amid the outbreak of a deadly virus that turns the undead into vicious killers. The story will revolve around heroine Elizabeth Bennet, who is distracted...

Red Riding Hood (2011)

Catherine Hardwicke

Red Riding Hood could have been a strong, fun werewolf film had it not been forced into a role that it was never meant to be. The acting is there, the direction could have been there, but Warner Brothers was too concerned...

Red State (2011)

Kevin Smith

Red State is a decent effort and although it isn't necessary a horror movie, it does have some horrific elements. A couple outstanding performances and a series of unconventional actions make this flick stand out, but...

Run Stranger Run (1973)

Darren McGavin

"Run Stranger Run" ("Happy Mother's Day, Love George" in some markets) is written by veteran Robert Clouse, who went on to write one of my favorite films "The Pack" four years later (Joe...

Splice (2010)

Vincenzo Natali

A good film if you go in not expecting a straight-forward horror flick. Splice is more of a sci-fi drama that questions the ethical boundaries in the pursuit of modern science and depicts the evolution and relationship the...

Teeth (2007)

Mitchell Lichtenstein

This was an interesting film that might not appeal to everyone due to its different approach to an uncommon and seemingly ridiculous theme. I personally liked the movie and the lead character "Dawn" and how she...

The Awakening

Awaiting Release

English

Nick Murphy

A ghost-debunker comes to a boy's school to disprove the existence of ghosts, only to find her own beliefs challenged. Haunted by the death of the fiance, Florence spends her time debunking supernatural claims, using...

The Divide (2011)

Xavier Gens

Maybe it’s because I knew nothing about the movie, and it played out differently than I was expecting, but I just loved The Divide. It’s tense, violent, borderline sick, and all around entertaining. With great talent behind...

The Grey (2012)

Joe Carnahan

The Grey is a multi-layered survival pic that really puts you right in with the group and offers some tense scenes and incredibly menacing foes. The slow and moody atmosphere may deter some people who went in expecting a...

The Host (2006)

Joon-ho Bong

Finally a monster movie done right. Not focusing on scares or a completely ridiculous plot, the film is packed with drama, comedy, cool sequences and an awesome and original creature. Check this baby out.

The Melancholy Fantastic

Awaiting Release

English

A.D. Calvo

In Development

English

No official plot yet, but in the book Lestat, depressed and lonely after centuries as a vampire, decides to transfer souls for a day with a psychic. After the transfer, it's revealed that he has no intention of...

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

Chris Weitz

I tried to be as unbiased as possible, but when it comes down to it, New Moon is just not a good movie…I don’t care how old or what sex you are. With a story that lends itself to, if nothing else, great visuals, it’s a...

The Twilight Saga: Twilight (2008)

Catherine Hardwicke

While Twilight fails at creating an effective vampire thriller, it succeeds in crafting a well directed, strongly acted and even relatable high school love story that will more than appease the target audience. For the rest...

Thirst (2009)

Chan-wook Park

A good flick if you know what you're getting. This isn't your standard vampire tale, as writer/director Chan-wook Park gives us a film with many layers to it, and is more of a character driven drama than anything...

Vampire

Awaiting Release

English

Shunji Iwai

Simon seems like a fairly normal, average young man who's devoted to his teaching job and ailing mother. Underneath the surface, however, things are not what they seem. Simon hunts through online chat rooms and message...
