After a decade away from theaters and 15 years since his last good movie, horror master John Carpenter returns with a new tale, The Ward. The movie unfortunately reminds us that Carpenter’s best years are far behind him.

From the director of nothing and the writer of also-nothing comes a movie for everyone, where victims and killers are one and the same and the bad guys are actually the good guys and the good guys are also the bad guys and lots of people die gruesome deaths and each death is funnier than the last. Yes, it’s Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, one of the funniest and ingenious movies of 2011.

After spending weeks disappointing friends by informing them that the creepy looking horror movie Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark isn’t actually directed by Guillermo del Toro, I finally went to go see the movie so I could be disappointed myself. Karma’s a bitch. Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is one of the worst movies of the year.

The latest “lost footage” film to hit theaters is Apollo 18, a movie about a disturbing finding found on the moon. And no, what the astronauts find aren’t Transformers.
At one point, Apollo 18 had promise. That was until it got bounced around the release calendar and The Weinstein Company decided to not screen the movie for critics. That’s not one but two red flags.
Since we haven’t been able to see it ahead of time, we’re relying on you to tell us what you think!

Paul Bettany is at it again, trying to be a Goody Two-Shoes by saving humanity from eternal damnation in Priest, on DVD and Blu-Ray this week. If Priest looks a lot like 2009′s Legion, which starred Bettany as an angel trying to save humanity from eternal damnation, you’re not alone. And like Legion, Priest falls short of its intended goal, whatever it was, seemingly satisfied with being mediocre.

Harry Potter is gone, but Daniel Radcliffe is still around, and if this new trailer is any indication, he may be around for a while.
In The Woman in Black, Radcliffe stars as a Victorian-era man who moves into an extremely haunted house. That’s the plot, but the marketing team at CBS Films has assembled an absolutely stellar teaser trailer to make it stand out from the rest in the genre.

The Final Destination franchise has been around for over a decade, and its fifth edition – Final Destination 5 – debuts today. The original is a horror classic, a unique spin on the typical slasher flick with an invisible, unbeatable villain. The sequels just rehash the same story, albeit with worse actors and shoddier production values.

From the director of Twilight comes Red Riding Hood, another fantasy-based romantic thriller that unfortunately lacks magic, intrigue or anything of real value. So in that regard, it’s exactly like Twilight. Starring Amanda Seyfried, Red Riding Hood is an instantly forgettable movie.

The first trailer for the horror remake/prequel The Thing is now online. The first thing I noticed: it looks a hell of a lot like the John Carpenter version. The second thing I noticed: it doesn’t look as good as the John Carpenter version. That’s not at all surprising.

Just when you thought horror was contained, directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza return with [Rec] 2, which continues moments after the last one ended. [Rec] 2 is an entertaining and somewhat scary monster flick that suffers simply from the fact that it’s retreading material seen in the previous movie – and the American remake Quarantine.

Nicolas Cage’s latest project to embody the “anytime, anywhere” motto of his career, Season of the Witch comes to DVD and Blu-Ray on June 28, promising loads of medieval dumbery. No offense to Ron Perlman, but you know what’s in store when he’s the leading costar.

J.J. Abrams, one of the better directors working today, and Steven Spielberg, one of the best directors of all time, collaborate for the first time for the nostalgic sci-fi thriller Super 8. An amalgam of Spielberg’s and Abrams’ styles, Super 8 is an entertaining popcorn flick, but sadly one that never reaches its potential.

With the passing of The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood and other acclaimed series in recent years, HBO was surely pleased to see that audiences welcomed Alan Ball’s True Blood with open arms, tilted necks and gushing veins. The series was an instant audience and critical favorite, striking the right balance between seriousness and humor while still offering plenty of blood, guts, gore, sex, nudity and violence.
