Battle Royale (2000)

Kinji Fukasaku

This is one of the best films I've ever seen and ranks high in my favorite films of all time. It's very innovative, controversial, and highly entertaining. You have got to see this.

Black Forest: Hansel and Gretel & the 420 Witch

In Production

English

Duane Journey

A brother and sister battle a witch who lures teenagers into her suburban home with her special blend of marijuana where she then proceeds to kill and eat them to maintain her youth and beauty.

Boy Scouts vs. Zombies

In Development

English

Andy Fickman

Revolves around a boy scout troop that must save the local girl scout troop from a zombie outbreak on an overnight camping trip.

Cellar Dweller (1988)

John Carl Buechler

A decent 80's creature flick. Although the plot could have easily been thought up by a 12-year-old, the film somehow maintains a small entertainment factor that's shown throughout the 77-minute running time. Worth...

Childish Games

Awaiting Release

Spanish

Antonio Chavarrías

Daniel receives an unexpected, and unwanted, visit from a friend who he hasn’t seen since his childhood. His friend is obsessed with his daughter and insists that Daniel has to meet her. Daniel does his best to get rid of...

Children of the Corn (2009)

Donald P. Borchers

A pointless remake that rapes the original films image and spits right in its face. No atmosphere, no conflict, no direction; this Children of the Corn is up there as being one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life.

Clownhouse (1988)

Victor Salva

A surprisingly entertaining movie. If you have a fear of clowns I recommend you check this film, so you care scare the crap outta yourself.

Cry Baby Lane (2000)

Peter Lauer

Ultimately, Cry Baby Lane is nothing more than a simple, but amusing children's ghost tale. It doesn't try to break any new ground for the genre, but at the same time offers an interesting story that you somehow...

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010)

Troy Nixey

Even though the narrative is culled from different horror clichés, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark somehow works. It’s not a movie for everyone, and might even strongly piss some people off, but it won me over with it’s well-...

Fear of the Dark (2002)

K.C. Bascombe

The movie proved to be an effective genre effort, despite merely relying on two characters and sticking to only one location the entire time. Had it not been for some of the seemingly rushed sequences towards the end and if...

Ghoul

Awaiting Release

English

Gregory Wilson

Centers on a group of young friends who risk their lives to stop who — or what — is behind a handful of disappearances in their town.

Goosebumps

In Development

English

N/A

No official plot yet.

Killer Pizza

In Development

English

N/A

Focuses on a 14-year old boy who lands a summer job at a pizza joint that is actually a front for a monster hunting enterprise.

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...

Making Contact (1985)

Roland Emmerich

Making Contact could've been a highly enjoyable watch had it not been so reliant on the success of other similarly-themed flicks. Instead of attempting to deliver any sort of originality, they opt to just borrow bits...

Mama

Pre-Production

English

Andres Muschietti

Tells the story of a couple who take in their long-lost young nieces and nephews. The kids were found after living in the forest for five years but now murderous events begin to unfold and it becomes clear that a...

Neon Maniacs (1985)

Joseph Mangine

A very underated 80s monster flick. If you liked Clive Barker's Nightbreed I suggest you check this film out.

Orphan (2009)

Jaume Collet-Serra

This is one of those rare occasions where a known sub-genre is taken to new heights by a clever script and talented director. Orphan doesn't skimp on the blood and even offers some fairly shocking violence (coming from...

ParaNorman

In Production

English

Sam Fell, Chris Butler

A small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he'll have to take on ghosts...

Return to Sleepaway Camp (2008)

Robert Hiltzik

The movie takes itself too seriously and unsuccessfully attempts to be as crafty as its predecessor. The kills are creative and it's one of the better 80's interpretations I've seen in a while, but that's...

Rosewood Lane

Awaiting Release

English

Victor Salva

Radio talk show therapist, Sonny Blake, moves back to her childhood home after her alcoholic father dies. Upon her return to the old neighborhood, Sonny discovers her neighbors are terrified of the local paperboy. She...

Sleepaway Camp (1983)

Robert Hiltzik

You might think of it as a F13 wannabe with a title like Sleepaway Camp and a cover with a bloody knife stuck through a shoe, but it's no where near F13. I definitely recommend this film for any horror fan. I warn you...

The Bone Yard (1990)

James Cummins

Underrated zombie film. Good effects, interesting zombies, and a lot of cheesy-ness. Check this movie out with an open mind.

The Children (2008)

Tom Shankland

A surprisingly good evil-kids flick. The film opts to go for a more dark and atmospheric approach rather than kids just slicing-and-dicing the adults, which I found very refreshing. Worth a check, especially if you're a...

The Devil's Backbone (2001)

Guillermo del Toro

A good original story. Expected more scares and a better ending, but still enjoyable and interesting. Check this.

The Gate

Pre-Production

English

Alex Winter

When best friends Miles and Terry discover a mysterious crystalline rock in Miles's back yard, they quickly dig up the lawn in search of more. Instead, they unearth the Gate—the opening to an underground chamber...

English

After moving into a new town, brothers Dane and Lucas and their neighbor Julie discover a bottomless hole in their basement that brings their nightmares to life. With shadows lurking around every corner, they must face their...

The Hole (2009)

Joe Dante

The Hole is unfortunately neither a good nor a bad film, but simply a mediocre one. The movie doesn't really boast much creativity behind it, and loses any sort of potential fairly early on. However, it is a fun "...

The Monster Squad

In Development

English

N/A

No official plot yet, but the original film told the story of a group of young horror fans who find themselves facing against icons like Dracula and the Wolfman in real life.

The Monster Squad (1987)

Fred Dekker

There's a reason why this film has a huge cult following behind it, and that's because it proves to this day that it remains as one of the most fun and creative films to come out of the genre, and even now, still...

The Shortcut (2009)

Nicholaus Goossen

The reason for the 8 rating is the movie just isn't that scary or horrific. Sandler proves to be a great writer and emphasizes realistic teen dialogue, an against-the-grain approach that showcases a more positive...

The Substitute

In Development

English

Scott Derrickson

Revolves around a terrified sixth-grade class as the students race to reveal to their parents that their new substitute teacher is an evil alien being.

The Willies (1990)

Brian Peck

A fun little youth-oriented horror anthology that proved entertaining for the most part, but loses points with its final story due to pacing issues. Worth a check if you're looking for a harmless little cheesy movie,...

The Witches

In Development

English

Guillermo del Toro

The original followed a young boy who discovers a gathering of witches in a seaside resort.

Under the Bed
