Scream
Really Great 5 Points 1996

Simultaneously embracing and lampooning the conventions of the slasher genre while re-inventing the genre wheel in it’s infectious tone, “Scream” is one of horror maestro Wes Craven’s greatest films, comfortably ranking alongside the likes of his brilliant “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” Cookie-cutt…

Halloween
Really Great 32 Points 1978

A classic that remains as powerful and amazing as it was nearly 30 years ago. This low budget masterpiece is what horror was originally all about, and spawned generations of imitations, a remake and 7 sequels that never lived up to the same level. This film has developed a cult following and to …

Friday The 13th
Very Good 19 Points 1980

Friday the 13th is one of those way overrated 80s horror flicks that is just plain boring. The whole movie consists of a bunch of characters at a camp, and pretty much all they do is look for the killer in between death scenes, and trust me, those death scenes were pretty cool. But it’s just nega…

My Bloody Valen...
Very Good 16 Points 2009

Oh my god! A crappy remake of a crappy movie gets a 4? Could I be seeing things How can this be possible? Well you’re seeing right, and yes, it is possible. My Bloody Valentine 3-D has the best part right in the title: 3-D. I don’t care what any reviewer says- the 3-D was incredible. There’s …

Scream 2
Good 5 Points 1997

Louder, flashier, funnier than the predecessor, loaded with more ambitious set-pieces and a more self-parodying tone than even the first “Scream.” What “Scream 2” lacks, however, is the same scare factor, and what it adds to the formula is a far-out final twist in the revelation of a villain who …

Child's Play 2
Good 5 Points 1990

In “Child’s Play 2,” the antics of possessed Good Guy doll Chucky (Brad Dourif) are reduced to admittedly competent slasher mechanics, complete with threadbare characters, awkward wardrobes and a teency bit of blood. Lacking in subtlety but nevertheless successful at working a spell on the viewer…

Friday the 13th
OK 13 Points 2009

Just another run of the mill, middle of the road, not good, not bad, mediocre slasher film. Its got a few moments that’ll appeal to slasher fans but overall it’s just an average slasher, worth a DVD rental but nothing else.

Oh, and last minute of the film, with the ‘surprise ending’, was super…

Scream 3
OK 5 Points 2000

Whereas the original “Scream” was a genre-revitalizing shot to the arm, the more flawed “Scream 2” was no great shakes, and with “Scream 3” the franchise – soon to be updated – runs out of steam. Whereas the other films allowed viewers to laugh along with the conventional slasher scares director …

Child's Play 3
OK 5 Points 1991

Though you’d probably be hard pressed to find another movie where murder occurs by rubbish truck, “Child’s Play 3” is notable for general insignificance, following up the delightfully mad “Child’s Play 2” with a bland sequel feigning action not just with guns, but paintball guns. Chucky’s (Brad D…
