Makes going to church seem like fun.
Horror
Dawn of the Dead
Darkly funny, tense and devastatingly grim, it manages to bring a classic horror back to life without stinking of rot. Bust a gut to see it.
The Passion of the Christ
Despite graphically portraying lots of nails, this film never really pins Jesus down. Beautiful, violent – and also funny for all the wrong reasons, and boring.
Gothika
Kassovitz must have been mad (or possessed) to assemble this lumbering, derivative collection of creepy moments, manipulated moods and cheesey shocks.
The Witches of Eastwick
A cauldron-full of fun.
Shaun of the Dead
A viscerally funny British comedy about a relationship beset by rot.
