The Children
"Director Tom Shankland has a keen eye for disturbing yet non-graphic imagery, and this plays a large part in establishing the impressive foreboding atmosphere throughout the first part of the film." [BRJ]
> Interview: Hannah Tointon
Drag Me To Hell
"Sam Raimi's long-awaited return to the horror genre doesn't disappoint, with Drag Me To Hell a wildly enjoyable romp that both shivers the spine and tickles the ribs with effortless ease. This is horror at its most bonkers and brilliant." [BRJ]
> Interview: Sam Raimi, Alison Lohman
The Last House On The Left
"Remodelled from the charred remains of Wes Craven's 1972 version, its biggest shock is that there's much to praise, with a couple of stellar performances complementing the mounting tension and intriguingly twisting narrative." [BRJ]
> Interview: Wes Craven
Let The Right One In
"At times it's horrific and gory, but to lumber it with a 'horror movie' tag is to do it a disservice. It's a dreamlike blend of drama, coming-of-age romance and revenge fantasy thriller rolled into an unforgettable whole." [SR]

My Bloody Valentine 3D
"A back-to-basics horror... the movie, with blood and entrails flying from the screen, is ideal Saturday night popcorn fodder, with its spiritual roots in early shockers from Vincent 'King of 3D' Price and classic '80s gorefests." [SR]
> Review
Saw V
"Perhaps it's just best to blame society for the fact that Saw V offers such clinical and engrossing escapist thrills. Although, it's only fair to point out the solid acting, slick direction and suitably filthy cinematography too." [BRJ]
> Review
The Strangers
"The Strangers is a refreshing antidote to the raft of gore-filled, formulaic attempts at horror that have deluged cinemas in recent times... A distinct lack of dialogue allows director Bertino to creature visceral, primal fear without bowing down to genre conventions." [BRJ]
> Review
The Uninvited
"Where The Uninvited works is in creating tension and The Guards prove capable advocates of psychological suspense and bump-in-the-night shocks... It's always entertaining and kept afloat by three game leading ladies and competent hands behind the camera." [SR]
