- DirectorMarc EvansStarsSean Cw JohnsonKris LemcheStephen O'ReillyFive people are offered one million dollars to spend six months together in an isolated mansion, with cameras watching their every move.Underrated little horror gem that captures the inherent creepiness of reality TV perfectly. 8.5/10
- DirectorMaurice DevereauxStarsIlona ElkinNicolas WrightNeil NapierKaren boards a late-night train and fights with several other passengers to survive a murderous night after becoming trapped in a tunnel.A creepy and atmospheric self financed action horror, with a cracking pace. Watch this film closely. There's more going on with it than would appear, just a cryptic heads up. 8.5/10, possibly one of the best horrors of the last decade, certainly one of the most overlooked.
- DirectorWillard HuyckGloria KatzStarsMichael GreerMarianna HillJoy BangA young woman goes searching for her missing artist father. Her journey takes her to a strange Californian seaside town governed by a mysterious undead cult.This film doesn't make a whole lotta sense but it's definitely effective, with a haunting, dream like atmosphere. 7.5/10
- DirectorAlfred SoleStarsLinda MillerMildred ClintonPaula E. SheppardIn 1961, a divorced Catholic couple's life is turned upside-down when one of their two adolescent daughters is suspected of her younger sister's brutal murder during her First Holy Communion and a series of subsequent stabbings.More creepiness in this absorbing American horror, with Giallo overtones and some nasty, left field violence. 8.5/10
- DirectorGary ShermanStarsJames FarentinoMelody AndersonJack AlbertsonSheriff Dan Gillis investigates eerie deaths in a sleepy coastal town.Gary Sherman's unusual and original take on the zombie sub genre. 7.5/10
- DirectorRobert LiebermanStarsD.B. SweeneyRobert PatrickCraig ShefferAn Arizona logger mysteriously disappears for five days in an alleged encounter with a flying saucer in 1975. His co-workers endure ridicule and contempt as they are wrongly accused of murder.A well made account of the alleged alien abduction of logger Travis Walton in the 1970s, the actual abduction sequences remains chilling to this day. 8/10
- DirectorKôji ShiraishiStarsJin MurakiRio KannoTomono KugaA documentary filmmaker explores seemingly unrelated paranormal incidents connected by the legend of an ancient demon called the "kagutaba."This Japanese offering is quite frankly one of the scariest films of the decade and is far more effective than Paranormal Activity. Have patience with a slow build up as its shocking conclusion is well worth the wait. 9/10 an absolute gem.
- DirectorMariano PeraltaStarsAndrea AlfonsoJulián AlfonzoRodrigo BiancoA young reporter fascinated by the urban legend of snuff movies gets more than she bargained for when her deep research begins.Dark, vicious and horrifying film from Argentina regarding a reporter's investigation into the urban legend of Snuff films, it easily transcends its micro budget with a punch to the face. Not for everyone, horror fans or otherwise, but fans of extreme horror could do a helluva lot worse. 7.5/10, a fetid little doozie that grimly delivers in spades.
- DirectorFred VogelStarsKyle DealmanCasey EganeyDan FriedmanTwo serial killers go on a murdering rampage as one films the outcome from behind a video camera.Keeping things extreme, Fred Vogel's micro budgeted grime fest gets unjust hate, but if one buys into its found footage premise, it's a starkly realistic portrayal of two aimless impulse killing sociopaths. 8/10, a deceptively good film.
- DirectorEric StanzeStarsEmily HaackTommy BiondoTodd TevlinA young woman is abducted by a serial killer and kept as his prisoner. She learns to manipulate her captor using his beloved scrapbook, which he forces his victims to write in.Another micro budgeted slice of extreme horror cinema, Eric Stanze's experimental and dirty little account of a woman held captive by a serial killer, boasts an absolutely fearless performance by Emily Haack and is another film which transcends its shoestring budget via its sheer unrelenting grimness. 6.5/10, another unjustly scathed film.
- DirectorDavid J. FrancisMike MastersStarsMike MastersDavid J. FrancisStephen PapadimitriouIndependent Zombie Film makers, Producer Mike Masters and Director David J. Francis, the team behind the commercially unsuccessful Zombie Night 1 and 2, have found the climate for Zombie movies has changed significantly after the "real" zombie invasion begins. Hedging on the fact that the Zombie mayhem that has taken a grip on the nation is only a temporary problem, the film makers realize that once normalcy has returned, demand for Zombie product (now outlawed) will be at an all time high. The filmmakers seize an opportunity to do something they were never able to before on their meager budgets, make a memorable zombie film. This time, however, through using real zombies, the film will have an authenticity and production value previously unattainable. They set about "bringing the gang back together" and assemble several key cast and crew members from their past productions (the ones that aren't already dead). With a full crew and a documentarian following them all the way, Masters and Francis embark on the production of their masterpiece. Film production at the best of time is wrought with peril, and for these intrepid film makers, it is no different this time around. From the challenges of safely shooting with and wrangling the hoards of untrained zombies to creative differences over what the film is ultimately to be about - the filmmakers face new challenges and production gets more precarious at every step. The entire process is documented, complete with interviews, behind the scenes footage of production meetings and shooting challenges, as the filmmakers struggle with cast and crew being eaten by their hungry zombie extras. A lack of resources to finish the film, and an increasingly high level of zombie activity cause them to reconsider their previous notion that "things will soon be back to normal." Despite it all, the filmmakers' resolve to finish the film at all costs leads them down some dangerous paths, and forcing them to make some difficult creative choices to keep the cameras rolling at all times. It's all the challenges of shooting a low budget zombie film, mixed with the perils of surviving in a Zombie infested world. Will they finish the film and get their long deserved accolades as pioneers in the Zombie film industry, or will the making of documentary be all that's left of their attempts to bring something innovative, fresh and devastatingly real to the screen?One of the most original zombie films I've ever seen, it's an absolute hoot, and proof positive that having next to zero for a budget is no excuse to make a bad film. 8/10, Well worth checking out for any zombie fan.
Distributors: PICK THIS FILM UP AND GIVE IT A DVD RELEASE!! - DirectorOzgur UyanikStarsJames PowellTom ShawLorna BeckettAn ambitious young filmmaker discovers an abandoned and incomplete horror movie from the 1980s and decides to finish it - big mistake.A slipped under the radar mockumentary horror gem about one director's descent into obsession, it's very well made, has great performances and is a little horror treat. 8/10, decent UK film.
- DirectorGerard JohnsonStarsPeter FerdinandoGreg KamRicky GroverA thriller centered on a serial killer in a rundown London suburb.Blackly hilarious fly on the wall look at the aimless existence of long term unemployed loner Tony, who happens to kill people when he isn't making conversation with them in public. 7.5/10, an overlooked and very funny horror gem.
- DirectorSteven SheilStarsPerry BensonDido MilesOlga FedoriLena, a young Polish immigrant working as a cleaner at an airport, is invited to the family home of a co-worker, which turns sinister quickly as the family intend to 'adopt' her.A luckless Polish cleaner ends up captive with a decidedly strange family in this lean, stark, and at times blackly comic horror. UK comedy actor Perry Benson is surprisingly good as a Fred West-style nutjob and for a film shot on a mere £100k, it's quite impressive indeed. 8/10, try and imagine Mike Leigh directing a horror film. :-)
- DirectorJeff BurrStarsVincent PriceClu GulagerTerry KiserIn a small Tennessee town, a historian relates four horror stories to a reporter.I'm a sucker for anthologies. Usually they have a nicely tongue in cheek tone. Not so here, as when Jeff Burr does an anthology, he ain't in it for the humour.
7/10, solid and mean spirited fare. - DirectorJack SholderStarsKyle MacLachlanMichael NouriClaudia ChristianA cop and an FBI agent race for answers after law abiding people suddenly become violent criminals.Model citizens are suddenly becoming Ferrari stealing kill crazy psychos, and a baffled investigating cop gets more than he bargained for with a new strange FBI partner. The result is lots of car chases, things exploding, and refreshingly CGI free old school style FX.
8/10, a cracking little action horror. - DirectorÁlex de la IglesiaStarsÁlex AnguloArmando De RazzaSantiago SeguraBent on committing as many sins as possible to avert the birth of the beast, a Catholic priest teams up with a Black Metal aficionado and an Italian connoisseur of the occult. Now, he must become an unrelenting sinner. Is there still hope?The time of the Antichrist is at hand and the only guys that can save us all is a slightly addled priest and his no less addled cohort, who rope in a luckless TV show host in their quest to save humanity, in this loony Spanish gem. 8/10, great film.
- DirectorThom EberhardtStarsSonja RunarRonald DunasArron ShiverDiana arrives in a town to start a new job. She's threatened into working as an exotic dancer. She's later kidnapped and let loose naked in the wilderness as prey for the psycho hunter, like many women before her. Will she survive?Thom Eberhardt's survivalist shocker belies its rather crappy title, in this surprisingly effective film. 7/10
- DirectorThom EberhardtStarsAnita SkinnerCaren L. LarkeyPeggy McClureA lone survivor of a plane crash is haunted by a feeling unworthy of survival. Dead people start coming after her to collect her.Eberhardt again, with a creepy little film that just had to have influenced the Final Destination series. 7.5/10 another refreshingly original take on the zombie sub genre.
- DirectorMarian DoraStarsCarsten FrankVictor BrandlTobias SickertAn internet advertisement placed by a man with a cannibalistic obsession brings yields a willing victim to serve up his own flesh in this dramatic account of the crime that shocked the world.Marian Dora's disturbing account of real life cannibal Armin Mewes who found a willing victim on the internet, won't be to everyone's tastes, but it's one of the most starkly effective extreme horrors out there, with weird, slightly off kilter shots only adding to the nightmarish tone. 8/10, nasty but decent offering.
- DirectorJoon-Hwan JangStarsShin Ha-kyunBaek Yun-shikHwang Jung-minByeong-gu believes that the world is on the verge of an alien invasion, and sets out to save the world.I'm gonna include this as horror as it's genre friendly enough, and it's one of the most original films I've seen in years, concerning a nutty loner who kidnaps his boss, as he's convinced he's an alien. 9/10, loopy, off the wall class from South Korea and another sadly underseen film at that.
- DirectorDick RichardsStarsPaul Le MatCatherine HicksStephen McHattieA divorced mother, her young son and her new boyfriend set out on a road trip through Death Valley and run afoul of a local serial killer.Haunting, atmospheric and rather creepy little slasher, about a kid who moves to Death Valley, only to be menaced by a psycho. 7/10, this film needs a dvd release, as in now, right now!!
- DirectorStuart GordonStarsMena SuvariStephen ReaRussell HornsbyA young woman commits a hit-and-run, then finds her fate tied to her victim.Gripping Stuart Gordon horror, loosely based on a real life case, with Stephen Rea in great form as the luckless protagonist who gets quite literally stuck in the windshield of a car, when he's hit by a rather altered Mena Suvari. 8/10, a cracker from Gordon
- DirectorBrian YuznaStarsBilly WarlockConcetta D'AgneseBen SlackAn ordinary teenage boy discovers his family is part of a gruesome orgy cult for the social elite.Brian Yuzna's masterpiece, a highly original, disturbing, yet blackly comic gem . 8/10, one of the more original horrors of the '80s.
- DirectorGeorge SluizerStarsBernard-Pierre DonnadieuGene BervoetsJohanna ter SteegeRex and Saskia, a young couple in love, are on vacation. They stop at a busy service station and Saskia is abducted. After three years and no sign of Saskia, Rex begins receiving letters from the abductor.A genuinely creepy little Dutch horror, later remade in a mediocre manner with Kiefer Sutherland.
8/10, a film that stays with you long after the credits roll. - DirectorChris GorakStarsMary McCormackRory CochraneTony PerezA dirty bomb goes off in Los Angeles, jamming freeways and spreading a toxic cloud.A man must seal off his home during a dirty bomb attack in this tense and very effective low budget indie offering. 7.5/10, well worth a look.
- DirectorLarry CohenStarsTony Lo BiancoDeborah RaffinSandy DennisA New York detective investigates a series of murders committed by random New Yorkers who claim that "God told them to."Law abiding citizens are suddenly committing multiple murders, justifying their crimes with a jubilant "God told me to!"
No spoilers, but to say this film is original is a mild understatement.
7.5/10, check it out. - DirectorChristopher DenhamStarsLucian MaiselCady McClainAdrian PasdarIn the remote woods of Upstate New York, David and Clare Poe are attempting to live an idyllic life. However, their twin children's bizarre behavior might just tear the family apart.A creepy and effective low budget US indie horror, and one of the few horrors where ambiguity works for it. 8/10, decent little film.
- DirectorRobert HughesStarsSam BottomsKim DelaneyClu GulagerFive "city boys" travel to the country to relax by doing some hunting, drinking Bud, and generally having good time. However, the local inbred backwoods psychos turn the hunters into the hunted, and they need all the ammo and wits they have to get out of the woods alive.Although essentially a b flick, it's still a solid and decent backwoods survivalist horror, in which city slickers are menaced by murderous hillbillies. 7/10
- DirectorJulian RichardsStarsKevin HowarthMark StevensonAntonia BeamishA serial killer uses a horror video rental to lure his next victim. What begins as a teen slasher transforms into a disturbing journey through the mind of Max Parry, a mild mannered wedding photographer with a taste for human flesh.Meet Max, a smarmy photographer who candidly films his other occupation as a serial killer in shockingly realistic detail.
7/10. Nasty. - DirectorMick JacksonStarsKaren MeagherReece DinsdaleDavid BrierlyThe effects of a nuclear holocaust on the working class city of Sheffield, England and the eventual long-term effects of nuclear war on civilization.One of the scariest and bleakest films ever made, and a film which I personally consider horror. 9/10 Absolutely terrified me as a kid.
- DirectorLewis JacksonStarsBrandon MaggartJeffrey DeMunnDianne HullA toy factory worker, mentally scarred as a child upon learning Santa Claus is not real, suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled at work, and embarks on a Yuletide killing spree.A highly original and rather poignant Christmas horror. 8/10 a really decent little film.

His wife hires him a full-time carer, a mysterious young man who is driven slowly mad by the old man's disturbing past.Creepy, disturbing and atmospheric shocker from Spain. 8/10
- DirectorBill PaxtonStarsBill PaxtonMatthew McConaugheyPowers BootheA mysterious man arrives at the offices of an FBI agent and recounts his childhood: how his religious fanatic father received visions telling him to destroy people who were in fact "demons."Bill Paxton's highly original debut as a director, it's a creepy and absorbing religious horror and a cracker to boot. 8.5/10
- DirectorKeith WrightStarsStan RoweSarah SpencerAndy PandiniHarold is suffering from a frightening new disease that is turning him into a zombie. After an experimental new treatment fails, Harold's condition deteriorates and he ends up on the run from a group of violent vigilantes who are out for blood.This micro budgeted masterpiece tops even the aforementioned Reel Zombies for sheer originality, and is the most original zombie film you'll ever see. 9/10, an absolute crime if this doesn't get picked up for distribution. Brilliant UK film.
- DirectorBill PalmerStarsAdam CongerMatt IsemanJustin McCaffreyIt's not uncommon for people to seem a little 'on-edge' come the holiday season, but for mild-mannered Howard Phillips, it just so happens that everyone else is suddenly running right over that edge with bloodshot eyes, foaming mouths, and unstoppable urges to kill...and they're running towards him. It could have something to do with the lack of shopping days left on the calendar, but Howard is betting that his recent visit to a medical testing facility is more likely to blame. Before he can find out what he took and how to stop it, he'll need to go toe-to-toe, or fist-to-teeth, with every bloodlusting living thing between him and quiet spot to put a plan together.One of the funniest short horror films I've ever seen, it has highly inventive editing, great dialogue, decent gore and belly laugh comedy, concerning a luckless and penniless everyman who sends people into a murderous rage whenever he comes into contact with them.
10/10, a perfect short horror and festival organisors should pick it up, because it's a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

Seeking retribution for a crime, the man forces Lance to reveal his inner most secrets by systematically removing his limbs.Trent Haaga's darkly comic take on torture themed horror, concerning a luckless man who incurs the wrath of an annoyed psychopathic stranger, it's a total gem, with some smart, flowing dialogue, great gore and laugh-out-loud comedy.
9/10 a treat for any horror fan. - DirectorAlexander AdolphStarsChristian BerkelJule RonstedtBibiana BeglauLaywer David Bottcher, (Christian Berkel) after a year long absence has been hired by a new firm, to act as its liquidator, as the company is deemed unprofitable. After being out of work a year himself, this is not something he takes lightly, and doesn't particularly relish it.Haunting, spooky and surprisingly nasty German horror, that while mainly psychological, is also punctuated with some dead straight and wince inducing ultra violence, courtesy of Olaf Ittenbach, whose work is much more impressive, when given a decent budget. 8.5/0, an excellent and very effective horror film.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsSam NeillJürgen ProchnowJulie CarmenAn insurance investigator begins discovering that the impact a horror writer's books have on his fans is more than inspirational.Probably John Caprenter's last truly good film, it's a nicely lurid, stylish and unpredictable tale in which insurance investigator Sam Neill gets a helluva lot more than he bargained for when investigating the disappearance of best selling horror author Sutter Cane., whose works have been known to have an effect on people...
8.5/10, possibly Carpenter's most underrated horror. - DirectorYun-hyeon JangStarsHan Suk-kyuShim Eun-haJang Hang-seonLieutenant Cho, a cop on the edge, is mourning his mother's recent death while under investigation for graft; on top of that he is suddenly put in charge of a seemingly-impenetrable mystery.This dark little murder tale is actually a South Korean Giallo, or if it isn't, it has a certain Mr Argento's bloody fingerprints all over it... A dark and absorbing mystery horror thriller, it's well worth seeing. 8/10
- DirectorAnthony WallerStarsMarina ZudinaFay RipleyEvan RichardsA mute make-up artist working on a slasher movie being shot in Moscow, is locked in the studio after hours. While there, she witnesses a brutal murder, and must escape capture.A solid horror regarding an unfortunate deaf mute member of a film crew in Russia, who must survive the night after being trapped in a studio with a gang of snuff filmmakers.

8/10 an under seen treat. - DirectorTom ShanklandStarsEva BirthistleStephen Campbell MooreJeremy SheffieldA relaxing Christmas vacation turns into a terrifying fight for survival as the children begin to turn on their parents.Atmospheric and effective slow burner, with the scariest kids this side of Damien Thorn. 8/10
- DirectorBen RockStarsCarlos BernardMathew St. PatrickRockmond DunbarA group enters a supermarket at closing time, shoots around and takes hostages. They believe aliens have arrived there then. Cops arrive outside.Never judge a book by its cover, or a film by its crappy title, as this is a tense little action horror that's well worth a look. 8/10
- DirectorEduardo SánchezStarsAdam KaufmanCatherine ManganBrad William HenkeFifteen years ago, a group of men's lives were forever changed by a strange occurrence. Now, the same group of men will spend a night together ... in terror.Another slipped under the radar and solid little alien themed horror from the team behind Blair Witch. 7/10

- DirectorPeter BogdanovichStarsTim O'KellyBoris KarloffNancy HsuehAn aging horror star questions his place in modern Hollywood, while a disturbed young man goes on a killing spree.Peter Bogdanovich's offbeat ahead of its time horror thriller with a great performance from Boris Karloff as an aging horror star who will have an encounter with some very real horror in the form of Bobby Thompson, a gee-whiz boy next door-style sociopath.
8/10, well recommended film. - DirectorMarcel SarmientoGadi HarelStarsShiloh FernandezNoah SeganCandice KingTwo high school boys discover an imprisoned woman in an abandoned mental asylum who cannot die.Another underrated and original take on the zombie genre that's surprisingly seedy and nasty in tone. 7.5/10
- DirectorGerald KarglStarsErwin LederRobert Hunger-BühlerSilvia RyderA troubled man gets released from prison and starts taking out his sadistic fantasies on an unsuspecting family living in a secluded house.An underseen masterpiece from Austria, rgarding the tale of a released nameless killer whose murderous fantasies consume him.

Great pay, but they don't know where they're going or what they are supposed to build. They are brought to a place with 12 months of summer.Concerning a group of engineers, paid very good money to work on a top secret project, this is a true lost gem of a film, deceptively creepy with one of the most disquieting conclusions you'll ever see. 8.5/10, sadly probably banished to obscurity but a really great film.
- DirectorJohn D. HancockStarsZohra LampertBarton HeymanKevin O'ConnorA recently institutionalized woman has bizarre experiences after moving into a supposedly haunted country farmhouse and fears she may be losing her sanity once again.Oddball, surreal flick about a troubled girl that manages to get under your skin for reasons you can't precisely put your finger on. 7.5/10 effective little film.
