THE CALL OF CTHULHU
One of the more unique films made from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, a silent movie based on one of the maestro’s most famous stories
THE WOMAN
Despite some pretty glaring missteps, this is one of the most stylish and atmospheric horror films of 2011, a gory yet compelling depiction of American psychosis
WIND CHILL
A solid exercise in minimalism with fine location work, some decent scares, and extremely good performances by its lead actors
WILD AT HEART
This remains one of David Lynch’s most controversial films. A dark and violent romance, it’s quite uneven but still fairly impacting

HARD
Yes, I, like you, am sick of low budget serial killer movies, but this controversial film stands out from the crowd in a number of ways, most notably its heavily gay subtext
MURDER ONE
A solid fact-based account of mass murder, thoughtful and naturalistic enough to satisfy true crime buffs while still bloody enough to sate most gore hounds
MURDER LOVES KILLERS TOO
The latest in an apparently neverending line of old school slashers, MURDER LOVES KILLERS TOO is a clever take on any number of splatter movie clichés
MONSTURD
Yes, this is a real movie and that’s its actual title: MONSTURD, the world’s first and thus far only monster turd movie
MONSTERS
An almost-good movie with a richly imagined metaphor about giant monsters loose in Mexico
