Review of Candyman (1992)

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

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)

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 Saw IV (2007)

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)

Review of My Sister's Keeper (2009)

By Patty Jones (13) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 05 Jul 2010

Yes, unabashed weeper My Sister's Keeper has that Hollywood sheen -- but it's the unexpectedly piercing realness of this family's anguish that's…

Review of The Mangler (1995)
