Rating: 4/10 Burnt Offerings

If, like most BGH readers, you live in 2010 and have seen more than two horror movies then “Burnt Offerings” is likely to be a smoldering pile of yawn.

Rating: 6/10 The Last Exorcism

"The Last Exorcism" is a lo-fi horror success story.

Rating: 5/10 Sea of Dust

No matter how much I want to love a movie that ends with an ecstatic Tom Savini nailed to a cross, after 90 minutes of boredom and confusion I just wanted it to be over and done with.

Rating: 7/10 Piranha 3D

Aja makes his case for a world after "gorno" with the sheer over-the-top-itude of "Piranha 3D"

Rating: 7/10 Meat Grinder

“Meat Grinder” might just be the most densely plotted, stylistically complex, melodramatic torture porn ever made.

Rating: 3/10 Vampires Suck

"I don't have any intentions to watch the "Twilight" films any time soon, either, so there is a chance that some of the humor here is completely lost on me."

Rating: 7/10 The Horseman

The bulk of this movie has a good bit of nastiness to it, delivered with well-motivated, animalistic energy...

Rating: 6/10 House (Hausu)

There’s a reason “Hausu” feels like it was made by a child on the combined influence of mescaline and Pixy Stix: it was.

Rating: 8/10 The Host (Gwoemul)

Rather than being a one-note film, Bong Joon-ho has crafted a horror experience that can be all things to all viewers.

Rating: 5/10 Under the Salt (Bajo la Sal)

It is real life horror and it is as profoundly annihilating as the world gets outside of an identified “war zone”.

Rating: 7/10 The Girl Who Knew Too Much

“The Girl Who Knew Too Much” is both enormously entertaining and historically significant.

Rating: 4/10 The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (2005)

The problem with this superfluous remake is that there is literally nothing new or original on display

Rating: 2/10 Razortooth

"B-films based around monsters tend to live or die based on the allure of their chosen abomination, and in that way, "Razortooth" deserves a powerful sigh of indifference."

Rating: 10/10 The Vanishing (Spoorloos)

From that simple synopsis you might never suspect that “The Vanishing” may be the most horrifying film of the 1980’

Rating: LOL Twilight: New Moon (Rifftrax version)

There are a couple of tricks to making Twilight movies not merely tolerable, but downright enjoyable.

Rating: 7/10 Love Object

It would pair up nicely as the gender-swapped back half of a double feature with Lucky Mckee’s “May”

Rating: 8/10 Werckmeister Harmonies

Philosophically I am sure a good deal of this film flew right over my head.

Rating: 7/10 Common Wealth (La Comunidad)

If you’re a fan of Hitchcock, pitch black comedy and nasty people doing nasty things to each other, “Common Wealth” will probably be right up your dark alley.

Rating: 7/10 Genesis

Henry Darger was a quiet recluse who wandered the streets collecting scraps of paper....

Rating: 5/10 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams

The film's funniest and most entertaining moments spring from the over-the-top kill scenes that are often too short for my tastes.

Rating: 2/10 Cornered!

That, dear readers, is how you irritate my inner Mahoney.

Rating: 7/10 Alone in the Dark (1982)

Packed with quotable lines, memorable scenes and great performances, “Alone in the Dark” is a VHS gem that deserves a higher profile.

Rating: 5/10 Aftermath

Unless you have a need to indulge your necro-agraphobia (fear of sexual abuse after death) you are better off spending 104 minutes watching Jorg’s “Nekromantik 2”
