Twilight (2008)
Jan 1, 2009Vampire Romance
Before the teen idol phenomenon took over, the original in the massively popular Young Adult series works as an earnest romance where all involved are clearly making an effort to play with a conviction

S. Darko (2009)
Apr 3, 2010Donnie Darko Sequel
A wholly unnecessary sequel to Donnie Darko featuring the same bafflingly inexplicable time-blurring things happening to his sister
Dread (2009)
Aug 31, 2014Clive Barker Adaptation/Experiment in Fear
Clive Barker adaptation about a disturbed university researcher who pushes an experiment into people's fears to extremes. This takes some time to start going anywhere but does eventually deliver the horrific goods

Breaking Dawn Part Two (2012)
Nov 16, 2012Twilight Sequel/Vampire Romance
