THE UNINVITED (2009)

The Hollywood remake of the Korean A TALE OF TWO SISTERS.  THE UNINVITED’S makers tried to create something beyond most Hollywood horrors, but what they came up with, in contrast to the complexity of the original film, is a hokey gothic melodrama

UNDO

There’s never been a love story quite like this 47 minute Japanese drama about insanity and obsessive knot-tying

UNDER THE SKIN

A visual stunner whose technical brilliance can’t mask the fact that the proceedings are rambling and fatally undernourished from a narrative standpoint

JACK BE NIMBLE

One of the best genre items of recent years, this 1994 New Zealand release is that rarity of rarities: A truly original horror film

JABBERWOCKY

This, the first solo directorial effort by Terry Gilliam, is very likely the most squalid and grotesque depiction of the middle ages ever put on screen

GRINDHOUSE

The film that started the retro-grindhouse movie craze, a raucous 3-hour double feature intended to replicate the grindhouse moviegoing experience of the 1970s and 80s

GREMLINS

You’re probably familiar with GREMLINS, one of the greatest Hollywood blockbusters of the eighties, as well as a signature film by the sometimes-great Joe Dante

GOTHIC

I’m one of the very few people who’ll admit to liking this movie, an ostensible historical rendering of the conception of FRANKENSTEIN, filtered through the mad vision of the one and only Ken Russell
