North by Northwest

A sizzling Hitchcock classic – not the man’s very best work, but it’s right up there.

The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting

If you ever see a copy of this DVD lying by the side of the road, DON’T pick it up – not because it’s dangerous, but because it’s rubbish.

The Order

Makes going to church seem like fun.

Abandon

It’s called ‘Abandon’ – and that’s exactly what you should do.

Fear X

A sombre, multi-layered mystery of bereavement and revenge, obscuring its solution in a blood-red mist.

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.

Where the Sidewalk Ends

A gripping noir thriller with Oedipal underpinnings and a bittersweet ending.

Control Factor

Mad as a hatter.

Chinatown

It’s slow, and it’ll test your patience, but it might just be worth it.

Gothika

Kassovitz must have been mad (or possessed) to assemble this lumbering, derivative collection of creepy moments, manipulated moods and cheesey shocks.
