Movies in the Horror genre

Army of the Dead isn’t director Zack Snyder’s first dance with the undead. His feature debut, 2004’s Dawn of the Dead, had him remaking the George A. Romero horror classic. 17 years later, after spending a significant portion of his film...

Ash doesn’t claim to be a re-imagining of John Carpenter’s version of The Thing, but one would have at least expected some sort of credit to be given to the 1982 movie. The earlier film’s DNA is so deeply infused into this production that it...

Calling Backrooms "horror" is probably a misnomer. Although there are horror elements to be found in Kane Parsons' feature debut, this is more of an existential mind-fuck than anything else. The film exists not so much to unspool a story as to gen...

The marketing goal with Baghead is to turn it into another The Blair Witch Project: a horror film where the terror is more psychological than physical and where the characters spend a lot more time chatting and arguing than running for their lives...

For roughly two-thirds of its 100-minute running length, Barbarian is a top-notch excursion into the dark, twisty tunnels and catacombs of a mystery-cum-monster movie. The film’s overreliance on horror movie clichés during the final half-hour w...

Barbarians starts out as a tense psychological thriller unfolding against the tableau of a not-so-friendly dinner before morphing into something decidedly physical and creepy. Yet the home invasion that flips the movie at the halfway point doesn�...

Timeliness can be important in a film’s release, but it’s rarely all-important. Consider The Beach House, for example. Here’s a movie about people trapped in a shelter-in-place situation by an unknown contagion that has infiltrated the a...

Horror/comedies were all the rage in the 1980s, with many of the so-called “serious” genre entries displaying a toothy sense of humor (although one can debate to what extent this was intentional). Excepting perhaps 1984’s Ghostbusters, none ...

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a worthy follow-up to its 1988 predecessor, Beetlejuice. For this much-delayed sequel, director Tim Burton has hewed close to the strengths of the original, repeating them when appropriate and acknowledging them when not...

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon may be the best horror spoof no one has ever seen. Or at least, that was the case when Starz/Anchor Bay dumped the film into a small number of theaters during mid-March 2007 with little publicity and no ad...
