Wicked Little Things (2006)
Apr 19, 2009Zombie Children
Despite being pitched as a zombie film, this is more of a ghost story featuring undead children who were killed in a mine disaster. Director J.S. Cardone does well with the horror elements
Scout Taylor-Compton
Halloween (2007)
Feb 13, 2009Slasher Film
Another inferior entry in the mid-00s fad remake of 70s/80s horror films. Whereas John Carpenter gave us Michael Myers as evil incarnate, Rob Zombie gives us Michael Myers as a misunderstood and unloved kid
April Fool’s Day (2008)
Aug 13, 2009Slasher Film
One of the worst among the 00s fad for remakes of 80s horror films. The original is abandoned all bar the name and becomes an I Know What You Did Last Summer-type slasher peopled by unlikeable teens
Halloween II (2009)
Jan 3, 2010Slasher Film
Rob Zombie's follow-up to his 2007 Halloween remake is a better film and comes closer to what the previous film should have been. That said, his approach is still based on callous brutality than John Carpenter's eerie suspense
247°F (2011)
Jul 9, 2020Characters Trapped Inside a Sauna
In the vein of films like Phone Booth and Buried, a Conceptual Containment Thriller with a group of people trapped in a sauna with the heat being turned up. From the director who later made Landmine Goes Click in this same vein
7500 (2014)
Mar 9, 2015Haunted Happenings on an Airplane
Takashi Shimizu has done commendable work on the Ju-on/The Grudge films and so I anticipated his taking on the airplane-board horror genre. Only he delivers a surprisingly middle-of-the-road handling before reaching a cliched twist ending that truly deserves to be put out to pasture
Feral (2017)
Jul 22, 2019Monsters in the Woods
This makes a generic plot - friends trapped at a cabin in the woods by creatures outside - work by stripping things to the basics and generating a reasonable rollercoaster of suspense
Ghost House (2017)
May 18, 2020Thai Ghost Houses/Possession
Modest effort in which Scout Taylor-Compton becomes possessed by an evil spirit while in Thailand. Nothing groundbreaking but this creates reasonable atmosphere
The Lurker (2019)
Jan 31, 2021High School Play Slasher Film
Scout Taylor-Compton stars in a slasher about a killer stalking the cast of a high school play
Chariot (2022)
Sep 28, 2023Surrealism/Strange Hotel
A very strange surrealist film about the strange characters that populate a rundown hotel. Includes reincarnation, alien bug people and John Malkovich as a psychiatrist with red hair in a bow
The Long Night (2022)
Jan 8, 2024Sinister Cultists/Folk Horror
A Folk Horror film where Scout Taylor-Compton visits the South only for cultists in black robes and animal masks to surround the house
A Creature Was Stirring (2023)
Dec 22, 2025Mother Keeps Her Daughter Confined to Prevent Her Becoming a Monster
An interestingly strange and undeniably different film where two teens break into a house at Christmas time to find a mother who keeps her daughter confined lest the creature inside her get free
