THE DEAD NEXT DOOR
This no-budget eighties zombie epic isn’t much from a technical standpoint but has a real low-rent charm, and enough creative bloodletting to fill a dozen mainstream gorefests
THE DARK
A disappointment. This 2004 film is plenty weird, yes, and fairly well made, but also clumsy and misconceived
IT’S ALIVE
The first entry of the IT’S ALIVE trilogy, and the most popular film by writer-producer-director Larry Cohen
