‘Jeepers Creepers 2’ (2003) more, yet somehow less, of same
‘Red Water’ (2003) serves up sweaty shark fun on the bayou
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): At least the premise is somewhat fresh for this genre: Oil drillers and drug runners take on a river shark.
‘Orphan: First Kill’ silly where ‘Orphan’ (2009) is creepy
Movie reviews: The prequel to “Orphan” asks the audience to accept a major “Just Go With It” scenario, and I couldn’t go with it.
‘Meg’ (2018) combines Vernean adventure, Jason Statham
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): More of a special effects feast than serious science fiction, “The Meg” at least delivers on its promise of spectacle.
Mainstream ‘Last House on the Left’ (2009) still harrowing
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Although it lacks low-budget grit, the remake faithfully reproduces the original’s shocking human immorality.
‘Open Water’ (2004) might be too realistic for some
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): Chris Kentis’ film ranks as a classic of shark horror, but for entirely different reasons from “Jaws.”
‘The Hills Have Eyes’ (2006) a tasty cannibal remake
Frightening Friday (Movie review): The anti-nuke theme is old hat, but this bigger-budget remake certainly delivers bloody thrills.
Ryder’s ‘Gone in the Night’ will age well
Movie review: Winona Ryder and Dermot Mulroney display easy likability in this twisty horror film debut from director Eli Horowitz.
‘Triangle’ (2009) untethers us from safety blanket of time
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Melissa George carries us through a fun little mind-tripper that gets swept away in this century of mind-trippers.
‘Deep Blue Sea 3’ (2020) wises up to cap smart-shark trilogy
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): After the awful second film, “DBS3” is surprisingly good, with likable characters and an evocative abandoned village.
