Blood Runs Cold
Director Sonny Laguna obviously has an eye for composition, but this is so derivative of the genre, it falls down straightaway.

Death Bell
Believes itself brutal, when in reality a small number of strong images are tied loosely together with a basic story.

Evil Rising
The script really is slow, with nothing remotely interesting happening until the final few minutes. But what an ending.

Red State
A disappointing film with a script that is too basic for any kind of social commentary Kevin Smith may have been aiming for.

Lake Mungo
A frightening film that respects the audience's imagination, creating a convincing portrait of a family coping with a tragedy.

The Silent House
Florencia Colucci is superb, easily shouldering the film. Also impressive is some genuine creepiness courtesy of clever lighting.
