Alien: Romulus (2024)

Alien: Romulus (2024)

[2] The seventh film in the Alien franchise is by far the worst of the litter, featuring a juvenile cast lacking any charisma who lead us through a tediously dull pastiche of the series' greatest hits. Alien: Romulus reeks of…
The Thing (1982)

The Thing (1982)

[10] This movie does two things extraordinarily well. It transports me and it terrifies me. Before anything scary even happens, director John Carpenter (Assault on Precinct 13, Starman) succeeds in creating an atmosphere of mystery and suspense that locks me…

The Old Dark House (1963)

The Old Dark House (1963)

The Kiss of the Vampire (1963)

The Kiss of the Vampire (1963)

[7] Even though it's unrelated to Hammer's popular series of Dracula-centric films, The Kiss of the Vampire is an intriguing entry in the studio's gothic output. Gerald (Edward de Souza) and Marianne (Jennifer Daniel) are a honeymooning couple whose car…
The Valley of Gwangi (1969)

The Descent (2005)

The Descent (2005)

[8] Neil Marshall follows up his auspicious feature directorial debut, Dog Soldiers, with this all-female plunge into the claustrophobic depths of Appalachian caves. The Descent reminds me of From Dusk Til Dawn in that it's really two completely different movies…
