Anyone whos scared of snakes should probably give this one a miss. Ditto anyone suffering from phobias of wooden acting and really bad special effects.
Horror
The Lost Boys
This silly-but-enjoyable cult classic is really something to get your teeth into.
Toolbox Murders
A haunted building with lots of half-finished stories and a few too many, er, flaws.
The Hillside Strangler
This double serving of true crime evokes all the sexual sleaze and broken dreams of the seventies.
Taking Lives
Think of it as a combination of Se7en without the shocks and Angelina Jolie without her clothes.
The Grudge
Japanese director gives his own horror film a surprisingly intelligent Hollywood makeover pointless self-replication perhaps, but that is the nature of curses.
