Paquin’s ‘Darkness’ (2002) an artistic mood piece
Wan’s ‘Malignant’ delivers weird – and creepy – science
Movie review: “A new vision of horror” is slightly overstating it, but “Malignant” uses its bizarre premise and wild action to stand out from the horror pack.

I can’t be-‘Grudge’ (2004) this J-horror remake’s success
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Takashi Shimizu remakes his own “Ju-On,” adding the lonely Americans-in-Tokyo aspect. But the creepy mood again dominates.
‘Candyman’ saga spoils with ‘Day of the Dead’ (1999)
Summoning ‘Candyman’ (Movie review): Again, Candyman torments someone into joining him in the afterlife. It was better the previous two times.
‘Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh’ (1995) covers old ground

Summoning ‘Candyman’ (Movie review): Like “Hellraiser,” this Clive Barker-produced urban-horror project is driven by its artistry. Here, the score by Philip Glass stands out.
‘Cursed’ (2005) a mildly amusing werewolf yarn
Frightening Friday (Movie review): The only non-“Scream” collaboration between Williamson and Craven has a cast of stars, but also a messy werewolf mythology.
