More than simply a horror film, The Orphanage is haunting and subtle while offering a truly coherent and emotional ghost story.
Horror
The Orphanage
Funny Games
Slightly (and inexplicably) better than its American shot-for-shot remake, Michael Hanekes original expose of the viewing audiences appetite for destruction is still too condescending to allow the genuinely frightening movie underneath to shine through.
Day Watch
Still a stylish thriller like its predecessor, Day Watch is a fabulous looking film that tries to pack in too much until it starts to just feel empty and pretty.
Night Watch
It has a few problems, but overall, this first installment in the Watch trilogy will pull you in with its unique approach to fantasy and adventure.
Saw II
Not as good as the first but still good, Saw II takes us back into Jigsaws world and gives us even more fun and bloody stuff to look at.
