The X-Files: I Want To Believe (2008)
In what could only be described as a summer of superheroes, the arrival of an X-Files movie was somewhat understated and passed by without much fanfare. The DVD release of The X-Files: I Want To Believe may go similarly unnoticed, which is quite a pity: in the great scheme of things, it’s actually a rather good film.
Mutant Chronicles (2008)
To say Mutant Chronicles has slipped under the radar would be an understatement: for a sci-fi/horror film with liberal amounts of violence, blood, guts and gore, the film has received little advertising or press coverage.
Which is surprising, because it’s a hell of a lot of fun!
Mirrors (2008)
There comes a time in every actor’s life when they happen across that role they were just born to play, a character whose life becomes so intertwined with your own that it’s difficult to see where the two join.
Bear that in mind before you go to see Mirrors, the latest Hollywood take on Asian horror.
Teeth (2007)
There’s only a handful of polite ways to describe what Teeth is about, so we’ll cover the basics here and let you add them up yourself: it’s a horror film involving a girl with teeth and said teeth are not in her mouth (well, she does have teeth there, they’re just not the important ones). If you haven’t quite gotten there yet, one scene involves a hysterically screaming gynaecologist clutching a bleeding stump…got it yet?
Taking that as your starting poing, Teeth could be either incredibly crass or wonderfully intelligent, and thankfully it fits into the latter category, and it’s all due to little touches.
Shutter (2008)
Shutter should be a simple enough story: newlyweds Ben and Jane Shaw (Joshua Jackson and Rachel Taylor) are in Tokyo, where photographer Ben is working on a fashion shoot. En route, the couple’s car hits a girl who vanishes from the scene moments later, but strange figures in Ben’s photographs lead the couple to believe they’re being haunted by the girl’s ghost. So where does it go wrong?
