(B) Enjoyably brash, over the top version, though it is indeed a subpar play on Shakespeare's part.

(C-) Weakest entry in the series. Plenty gruesome, but the kills are never truly inspired, and the other elements are rote even by the standards of the series.

(B) Suburban hell pic eschews the adolescent morality and worldview typical of the genre, and contains fine performances. It wanders a bit, though, and the ending is a mistake.

(B-) Another fun, stylish Kitamura pic, but the teen protagonists are a bit irritating, and he can't quite control the sometimes too silly tone.

(D+) Czech pic takes place after a nuclear war where all narrative was utterly destroyed. Chicks wander around the forest, go to hotel, leave, the end. Dull.

(A-) Classic Wilde adaptation is well-acted and has terrific cinematography. Perhaps the best horror film of the decade.

(B-) Mock documentary is a great idea, but it loses steam and direction as it comes closer to the present. Would've worked better if it stuck to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cheapness hurts at times.

(C) Yet another "Turn of the Screw" version, but with more lesbian action than the average James adaptation. Competent most of the time, but flat.

(C) Justly forgotten neo-noir. Looks okay and has a good cast, but the story falls flat.

(B+) Legitimately nasty and unsettling, provided you can buy into the improbable zombie sex-slavery plot. Aptly described by one critic as the worst date movie ever.

(B+) Zero budget Argentine rural massacre pic is so cheap as to almost be a minimalist experiment. Nothing new, but the execution is remarkably tense and sharp, and it's a bit more thought out than most pics of the sort.

(C+) Another fine looking expressionist silent film that never connects as narrative. You'd think the anthology format would help, but the pacing is still slow and jerky.

(B) Minimalist croc attack film is a nasty slow burn that plays as seriously and realistically as could be hoped. Quite good.

(D+) Silly sea monster movie moves to slowly and doesn't really deliver at the end either. Bleh.

(B-) Takes too damn long to get started, but the meat of the film is good fun.

(C) One of the least intriguing Brit horror anthologies from the time in spite of the solid cast and generally decent source material. It's too cold and dour for the sort of film it is.

(B) Famed Powell production doesn't quite rate as the British Citizen Kane, but it's a detailed, quality film that deserved to be restored.

(B-) Brisk 30s horror is simplistic but looks nice and has solid performances.

(B-) Spanish take on "Cube" or "Saw," but with math. Shallow, but never dull.
