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 | |

 | | 21. Underworld (2-Disc Extended Cut, Unrated) | | | Starring: Kate Beckinsale Director: Len Wiseman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | | Underworld - DVD Review By: Annette Cardwell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/3/2009 5:39 AM | |
Underworld’s trailer makes it looks wonderfully slick and dark in the tradition of The Matrix and Blade; but after seeing it, you’ll realize that everything that seemed dazzling was simply stolen and then abused – from its Dark Shadows-meets-Matrix costumes to its Blade weaponry to its Nine Inch Nails video backdrops. Nothing about Underworld is original; it’s a hackneyed, patched-together goth-kid fantasy that I’m convinced was written a 15-year-old boy who wears black eyeliner (think the Saturday Night Live skit “Goth Talk”). read the full review | |

 | | 28. Unborn | | | Starring: Gary Oldman Odette Yustman Director: David S. Goyer | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/3/2010 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Unborn (Unrated) - DVD Review By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 7/15/2009 1:44 AM | | Odette Yustman from Cloverfield stars as Casey, a young underwear model tormented by strange visions of a mean little boy in pale white makeup who keeps saying something about "Gumby" needing to be born. Turns out this is the spirit of her unborn and dead twin brother, strangled to death by her umbilical cord while still in the womb. Or so says Casey's father played by '80s heavy James Remar ( 48 Hours) which is enough to make you suspect he's lying and behind some elaborate plot to drive his daughter insane for her inheritance. But he turns out to be a good guy, oddly, leaving no reason for casting Remar in the first place. read the full review | |

 | | 35. Curious Case Of Benjamin Button | | | Starring: Brad Pitt Cate Blanchett Director: David Fincher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/24/2009 5:36 PM | | Every great filmmaker is allowed one bad film. For David Fincher, his first was his worst. An intelligent director, Fincher cut his teeth on television commercials and music videos before making his feature debut in 1992 with a forgettable and regrettable installment in the Alien franchise. It was all uphill from there. Fincher's next five films arguably are modern classics, each impressively different from its immediate predecessor. Gen X fanboys idolize him for the basement-dwelling aggressions of Fight Club. The director brought flash -- and a needed backbone -- to pulp thrillers like The Game and Panic Room. And cineastes found plenty to appreciate in the meticulous musings of Fincher's cold-case police procedural, Zodiac. read the full review | |

 | | 44. Event Horizon (Blu Ray) | | | Starring: Laurence Fishburne Sam Neill Director: Paul Anderson | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 12/30/2008 | | Event Horizon - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Michael Prince - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 2/23/2009 10:29 PM | | Event Horizon was released in 1997 and was touted as one of the scariest movies you will ever see. While it does not live up to that bold claim, it does have some thrills and a great atmosphere that translates well onto Blu-ray. The futuristic story in Event Horizon centers on a search and rescue ship, the Lewis and Clark, which is sent to recover the recently discovered vessel, the Event Horizon. The Event Horizon is a revolutionary ship that is equipped with an experimental faster than light (FTL) drive. It disappeared on its maiden voyage when the drive was activated and remained missing for seven years. read the full review | |
