It's too brainless and uncomplicated to make us think twice about the plot.

A Nightmare On Elm Street

Review preview for A Nightmare On Elm Street

A Nightmare On Elm Street remains an atmospheric and genuinely unsettling film with a chilling, universally relatable central motif: sleep gets everyone in the end.

Night Of The Living Dead

Review preview for Night Of The Living Dead

Though shot on cheap black-and-white film stock, NOTLD was the film that would turn the whole horror genre blood red, with its innovative use of graphically realistic gore effects.

As befits a film set on a rapid commuter train, the pace rarely lets up.
