 | | 4. Twilight (2-Disc Special Edition) | | | Starring: Kristen Stewart Robert Pattinson Director: Catherine Hardwicke | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/20/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Twilight - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/13/2009 5:38 PM | |
Damn you Anne Rice! Even since you introduced that lovelorn supermodel turned bloodsucker Lestat, the vampire has been romanticized all out of proportion. Cold yet compassionate, sexy but spurned, the supposed supernatural monster has gone from corpse to Casanova in the twinkle of a dateless spinster's eye. Now comes Twilight, the latest entry in the continued compromising of the classic Stoker archetype. Aimed directly at the ADD-addled attention span of the average Facebooker, aside from being no fun at all, it stands as one of 2008's most crass commercial statements. read the full review | |

 | | 11. Re-Animator | | | Starring: Barbara Crampton Bruce Abbott Director: Stuart Gordon | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/20/2007 | | Re-Animator (Limited Edition) - DVD By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 3/23/2007 8:18 PM | | This is one of the greatest films ever made. Period. There's no need to be guilty when expressing the great pleasure this film inspires. It's breathless, outrageous, erotic, gory, jaw-dropping, genre-busting,
groundbreaking, ridiculous, shocking, and altogether exhilarating filmmaking. If you somehow missed it or only caught the R rated version produced for Blockbuster, drop that Lord of The Rings DVD you're
going to watch for the 700th time and give this disc a spin. It'll leave you laughing and screaming like a punch-drunk hyena. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Drag Me To Hell | | | Starring: Alison Lohman Director: Sam Raimi | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/13/2009 | | Drag Me to Hell - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/9/2009 11:09 PM | |
With the Spider-Man films sitting out there like tarted-up, tawdry trophy wives, it's easy to forget how good a filmmaker Sam Raimi really is. If it weren't for the commercial strictures of the comic book movie, mandates which tend to stifle outright creativity, he might still be churning out the quality spine-tinglers. Instead, he's been lost in a sea of sparkle and spectacle, forgetting us fright fans who propped him up and suggested he might sell to a strict Tinseltown demo. Now, he's back crafting the kind of spook shows that made us all fall in love with him in the first place -- and Drag Me to Hell is quite an act of crazed contrition. read the full review | |

 | | 24. Orphan (Widescreen) new! | | | Starring: Peter Sarsgaard Vera Farmiga Director: Jaume Collet-Sera | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/27/2009 | | Orphan - DVD Review By: Jason McKiernan - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/16/2009 5:10 PM | |
As an actor, you have to consider the possibility that your career has jumped the shark once you agree to star in an "Evil Child" movie -- you know, that inexplicably long-lived subgenre where the exceedingly creepy kid wreaks lethal havoc on his/her family and surroundings. That thought must have been swirling around in the heads of Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard, two truly great actors inexplicably found at the center of Orphan, another assembly-line rehash of every other Evil Child film from the last two decades. Their acting alone is enough to raise the bar here slightly, but one still must wonder how they got roped into this at all. Maybe they truly thought this would be the exception to the rule. Or maybe it was the paycheck. read the full review | |

 | | 38. Saw 5 (Unrated Widescreen) | | | Starring: Costas Mandylor Tobin Bell Director: David Hackl | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/8/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Saw V - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/9/2009 4:44 PM | |
At this point in the Saw series, reviews really don't matter. Frankly, this is one of the few fright franchises where audiences don't care about character development, directorial flair, or narrative invention. Instead, they want more Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, more illogical puzzle kills, and a reverse referencing that makes unimportant characters major players in later installments. To that extent, Saw V is definitely no different. Unfortunately, whatever made the first four films tolerable has been whisked away by unimaginative writing and even more pedestrian direction. read the full review | |

 | | 39. Stepfather | | | Starring: Terry O'Quinn Director: Joseph Ruben | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/13/2009 | | The Stepfather (1987) - DVD Review By: The Masked Movie Snobs - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 10/4/2009 12:55 PM | | The Stepfather is a thriller loosely based on the real case of John List. I was a 14-year-old when it was released and remember it being pretty creepy. I haven’t seen it in many years and was curious if it would still be as spine-chilling as I remembered. It opens with a blood-covered man who has apparently just murdered his family. He cleans himself up, takes his bloody clothes, and leaves town. One year later, he appears as Jerry Blake (Terry O’Quinn) and is recently married to widow Susan Main (Shelley Hack). Susan’s 16-year-old daughter Stephanie (Jill Schoelen) dislikes Jerry and blames him for creating distance in the relationship with her mom. read the full review | |
