"This movie is not for the squeamish, or the faint of heart." -- David Baldwin
LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE

LET ME IN

"I am impressed that this did not fall prey to becoming a cookie-cutter mainstream American thriller." --- David Baldwin

SPACE CHIMPS 2:
ZARTOG STRIKES BACK
(2010)
"If I’d known this outing was to be all about Comet, the hero-worshipping would-be astrochimp from the first movie, I’d have been less excited." -- Rachel Hyland
THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE

DRAG ME TO HELL
(2009)
"The film is simply a riot from start to finish. Anyone who ever liked The Evil Dead is in for a real treat with Drag Me to Hell." -- David Baldwin
JU-ON: THE GRUDGE
(2003)
"As a fan of horror, I don’t scare easily. I have laughed my way through everything from Texas Chain Saw Massacre on... But there was no laughing with Ju-on." -- Brad Crammond
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
(2007)
"Since there is a whole lot of nothing going on in this movie, one could easily say that it's pretty stupid and not scary at all. However..." -- K. Burtt
SNOW WHITE: A TALE OF TERROR
(1997)
"Ooh, this is scary. If there was a movie for which the word eerie was invented, this one is it." -- Rachel Hyland
THE HOUSE OF WAX
(1953)
"It is feasible that I should consider its age, its cult status, and the inherent creepiness of Vincent Price before pronouncing this movie unwatchable... but, no. I'm not gonna." -- Rachel Hyland
