Scanners (1981)

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 slow-paced and…
Jurassic World (2015)

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 since the…
Altered States (1980)

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 don't know…
Exists (2014)

Exists (2014)

[7] Exists is easily the best Bigfoot movie ever made. There's still room for improvement, but I have to applaud writer Jamie Nash and director Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project) for making my favorite boogeyman as scary as he ought to…

It Follows (2015)

The Final Destination (2009)

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 -- a kid…
The Witch (2015)

The Witch (2015)

[10] I'll come right out with it: The Witch is my favorite horror film of the last ten years. Newcomer writer/director Robert Eggers serves up a masterfully creepy tale that's equal parts psychological and atmospheric, elegant and restrained, but not without some…
The Babadook (2014)

The Babadook (2014)

[7] Essie Davis (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries) gives a powerhouse performance as the widowed mother of a troubled child who believes a storybook monster is terrorizing their household. At first, Mom doesn't believe the monster is real, but Mr. Babadook quickly makes…
