The Skeleton Key

Don’t bother opening the cinema door to this pile of hoodoo hokum.

The Devil's Rejects

Shallow Ground

Eerie, apocalyptic, and very bloody, Wilson's horror debut is anything but shallow.

The Brood

Rage gets a shape in Cronenberg's compellingly grotesque psychothriller.

Dark Water

This psychological chiller drips with atmosphere, but compared to the Japanese original its ending is something of a damp squib.

Class of 1984

The Descent

This dark labyrinth of trauma, treachery and troglodytes sets terrifying traps for the mind.

eXistenZ

Walk on Water
