The Gray Man (2007)
In 1928, ten-year-old Grace Budd vanished from her neighborhood. Police linked the disappearance to Albert Fish (Patrick Bauchau), a seemingly kind, grandfather-like figure who, it turned out, regularly kidnapped, murdered, cooked and ate children...and taunted police by sending the press his "recipes." Based on a true story; best viewed on an empty stomach.
Psycho (1960)
The concept of the film-going public unable to bathe for an extended period is one we'd rather not contemplate, but Alfred Hitchcock's masterwork so traumatized audiences that many opted to avoid the tub so they wouldn't have to relive the infamous murder scene. If you have no idea what we're talking about, we'll clue you in with today's forecast: showers predicted.
The Vampire Diary (2007)
While making a documentary, filmmaker Holly meets the highly enigmatic and beautiful Vicki who claims she is a real-life vampire. Fascinated and attracted to her, Holly thinks that Vicki could be her soul mate and soon the two embark on a passionate affair. However Vicki's lust for blood is growing and when Holly discovers that Vicki is pregnant with a 'vampire' baby, she is drawn into a spiral of death, deceit and betrayal from which she will never emerge.
Clive Barker's The Plague (2006)
An ex-con (James Van Der Beek) returns to his home town and attempts to reconcile with his physician ex-wife (Ivana Milicevic); meanwhile, comatose children across the globe suddenly awaken en masse and launch a zombie-like attack on mankind. Effective Children of the Damned riff produced by horror novelist Clive Barker; if you're in the mood to be thoroughly creeped out, you can't go wrong with any film from the Killer Kids subgenre. With Dee Wallace. Directed by Hal Masonberg.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Strangest entry of any horror movie franchise breaks tradition by having almost no connection to a storyline that came before or after. But so what if there's no Jamie Lee or Michael Myers running around—this bizarrely plotted, occasionally ingenious guilty pleasure has a James Bond-like villain plotting to kill off trick-or-treaters nationwide by activating small pieces of Stonehenge embedded in their Halloween masks. Talk about No Child Left Behind. Anyhow, Tom Atkins and Stacey Nelkin are the surprisingly amorous couple out to stop him. Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace.
The Vanguard (2008)
Ambitious, brainy take on the post-apocalyptic zombie genre. Max (Ray Bullock Jr.) survives a corporation’s attempt to rid the world of undesirables through the development of a deadly drug. The scheme backfires, creating armies of killer zombies that threaten to wipe out mankind—forcing hatchet-wielding Max to fight for his survival.
Gone (2007)
British backpacker Alex (Shaun Evans) and his girlfriend Sophie (Amelia Warner) hitch a ride with creepy American Taylor (Scott Mechlowicz) in the Aussie outback. Complications ensue when it turns out that Taylor 1) has his eye on Sophie and 2) possesses a photograph of Alex in a compromising position. Dead Calm-like psychological thriller, with a pinch of "Wolf Creek" tossed in for good measure, sticks to the beaten path plot-wise but packs a punch when it matters most. With Yvonne Strahovski. Directed by Ringan Ledwidge.
Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001)
Eleven years after the horrific events of the first film, sleepy Perfection, Nevada has become a tourist attraction, with townsfolk staging recreations of the attacks and selling tchotchkes of the "graboids" that sprang from the ground and gobbled-up their victims. The community gets a rude awakening when the icky invertebrates return for a second helping, only this time, they sprout wings and swoop down upon their prey. Enter survivalist Burt Gummer (Michael Gross), whose itchy trigger-finger is versed in everything from antiaircraft turret to potato gun. Yee-haw! More goofy redneck horror from the co-creator of the original Tremors; fans will get a kick out of seeing the return of supporting players from the first film, including the girl on the pogo stick. With Shawn Christian, Susan Chuang and Barry Livingston. Directed by Brent Maddock.
