Final Destination (2000)
[7] When a high school class boards a plane for a field trip to Paris, one of the students (Devon Sawa) has a premonition that the plane will explode. He freaks out and unboards, bringing a few others with him…
Tusk (2014)
[7] I think Kevin Smith (Chasing Amy, Red State) is a much more interesting filmmaker now that he's making horror films. Tusk is a controversial move for the director -- it's too silly for die-hard horror fans, but too off-putting…
Scanners (1981)
[6] A scientist sends a man with dangerous telepathic powers on a mission to destroy a renegade adversary with similar powers. David Cronenberg (Videodrome, The Dead Zone) wrote and directed Scanners, so you know it's sure to be a bit…
Jurassic World (2015)
[9] I enjoyed the hell out of Jurassic World and I don't care who knows it. I don't know who the director is (Colin Trevorrow, anyone?), but I thought this was easily the scariest and most entertaining Jurassic Park flick…
Altered States (1980)
[4] William Hurt makes his big-screen debut in this blend of psychedelia and cockamamy psychology based on a novel by Paddy Chayefsky (Network). Hurt plays a college professor of science who experiments with drugs inside isolation tanks to, oh, I…

Starry Eyes (2014)
[4] Alex Essoe stars as a young woman who'll do anything to become a successful actress. When a mysterious Hollywood secret society 'auditions' her and offers her everything she's ever wanted, she stops at nothing and sacrifices everything for eternal…
It Follows (2015)
[6] Writer/director David Robert Mitchell serves up a relatively fresh, original low-budget indie horror film that will tickle many horror fans' nostalgia bones. The film is basically about a killer STD... sorta. If you have sex with the wrong person,…
Willow Creek (2013)
[5] Bobcat Goldthwait takes us to Bigfoot country in this found-footage film about a Sasquatch enthusiast who drags his girlfriend into the woods to help him shoot a documentary at the site where the famed Roger Patterson footage of the…
The Final Destination (2009)
[5] If you saw the three that came before it, you know exactly what to expect from The Final Destination, and you'll get nothing more -- perhaps a bit less. It follows the same plot as the other movies --…
