Review of Scream 4 (2011)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 24 Apr 2011

Compared to director Wes Craven's previous horror outing, last year's unforgivably awful My Soul to Take, Scream 4 is one of the greatest horror…

Review of Piranha 3D (2010)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 28 Mar 2011

The best example of the level of art that Piranha 3D aspires to comes when a guy gets his dick chomped off and it gracefully floats down towards…

Review of Devil (2010)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 21 Sep 2010

The relatively unknown cast delivers solid performances all round, and director John Erick Dowdle keeps things interesting and well paced…

Review of Pet Sematary II (1992)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

Life's too short to spend an hour-and-a-half of it watching hollow cinematic dreck like Pet Sematary Two. There are some neat gory bits, though…

Review of Skinwalkers (2006)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

It's obvious at times that Skinwalkers tries to emulate Kathryn Bigelow's awesome vampire western Near Dark, but without kickass character…

Review of Misery (1990)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

Like Stand By Me, Misery can't help but broaden the audience for movies based on Stephen King's work…

Review of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

I've now seen all nine of the series' entries, so trust me when I say that Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday is very likely the worst of the bunch…

Review of Hostel: Part II (2007)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

There are some grisly deaths gore hounds would approve of, but the focus is more on the motives of the murderous pervs and the inner workings…

Review of Candyman (1992)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

Sadly enough, with all the things Candyman has going for it, it turns out to be not much more enthralling than the last Freddy Kreuger slash-o-rama…

Review of Innocent Blood (1992)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

Cameo appearances by terror icons Dario Argento, Sam Raimi, and Tom Savini help make Innocent Blood a hoot for horror fans, but you don't have…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

The success of 1408 rests squarely on [John Cusack's] Hawaiian shirt-clad shoulders, and he pulls it off. The role, that is…

Review of Skinwalkers (2002)

Review of Saw IV (2007)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

There's the obligatory twist at the end, which hardly makes up for the excruciating boredom viewers are forced to endure…

Review of Drag Me to Hell (2009)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2010

Raimi mastered the art of the screeching, zombie hag in The Evil Dead, and 28 years and three Spider-Mans later, he's still got it…

Review of Child's Play 2 (1990)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 05 Jul 2010

Review of Severance (2015)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 05 Jul 2010

Review of Universal Soldier (1972)

By Steve Newton (322) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 05 Jul 2010
