1/6
 
" An American remake of the Spanish horror movie ‘[Rec]’ that adopts the same basic recipe, but removes any hint of flavour or texture, reducing cutting-edge Catalan cuisine to bland, bite-sized McNuggets." -- Time Out

Quarantine (2008)60%

2/6
 
" John Moore directs the hell out of the action, while Jonathan Sela’s glistening photography captures the snow and rain that fall on these bloody New York streets. But you’d have to be on crack not to guess the ‘surprise’ finale." -- Time Out

1/5
 
" To make a 3-D ‘torture porn’ movie is at best opportunist; to make one with flat, boring torture scenes is unforgivable." -- Time Out

" The film hurtles towards the final ‘revelation moment’ like runaway train. If only it had stopped to take on board some of Barker’s heavy mythical dread." -- Time Out

" Even the most die-hard of Saw fans won’t credit how tedious, lame and pointless this fourth sequel manages to be." -- Time Out

Saw V (2008)14%

1/6
 
" This is without question the dumbest horror movie of recent years. There is simply no way to piece together its fractured shards." -- Time Out

4/6
 
" This seriously entertaining film celebrates the idea that, despite their elders’ complacency, the young will find the strength to imagine a better future for themselves." -- Time Out

City of Ember (2008)49%
/
3/6
 
" Director Pierre Morel’s directing style is ruthlessly efficient, but leaves no time to ponder the plot holes or the borderline racist portrayal of vicious Albanian gangsters and sleazy Arab businessmen." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
Taken (2009)50%
/
3/6
 
" It’s brainless fun, but while Anderson’s brilliant staging of the flesh-ripping stunts surpasses Bartel’s cheap thrills, this update lacks the sardonic wit and satirical bite of the Corman-produced version." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 25, 2008
 
Death Race (2008)42%
/
4/6
 
" The film’s one major fault is that Reilly’s character repeatedly acts in ways that serve the plot, but which run contrary to rational human behaviour. By contrast, the shattering downbeat ending is well earned and genuinely shocking." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
Eden Lake (2008)82%

4/6
 
" A thinking person's 'creature feature,' Hellboy II is also a heartfelt plea for bio- and cultural diversity." -- Time Out Sydney
Posted Aug 31, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)88%
/
2/6
 
" This suspense film by first-time writer-director Bryan Bertino initially squeezes some surprisingly effective scares out of familiar elements. Sadly, the scenario quickly becomes attenuated and unbelievable." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
The Strangers (2008)44%
/
2/6
 
" Unfortunately, a ‘Matrix’-style shoot-out offers a glib, violent solution to what is otherwise an intriguing emotional conflict." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Babylon A.D. (2008)7%
/
4/6
 
" Guillermo del Toro’s Fabergé egg of a fairytale is not so much a sequel as a fusion of the fabulist imagination of ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ with the witty, irreverent comic-book action of his own ‘Hellboy’." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)88%
/
2/6
 
" Lazy plotting, so-so performances and squandered ideas lead to only one diagnosis: there is no compelling reason to keep this moribund formula on a life-support machine." -- Time Out

The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)32%
/
1/6
 
" By far the worst ‘slasher movie’ remake to date, replaying all the clichés, but delivering none of the guilty pleasures." -- Time Out

" Stupid, slipshod stuff." -- Time Out

Botched (2007)14%
/
4/6
 
" A brilliantly staged early scare signals that the safety rails are off and, despite an unexpected, last-minute swerve into the supernatural realm, the edge-of-the-seat tension is sustained to the very last second." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
[Rec] (2007)94%
/
3/6
 
" An adaptation of novelist Rupert Thomson’s erotic mystery/thriller that fails to find a visual or narrative equivalent for the book’s elegant prose and lubricious mysteries." -- Time Out

" Andy Serkis shouts a lot, as if raising the decibel level will compensate for the dire dialogue, while Jennifer Ellison displays more cleavage than acting ability." -- Time Out

" The performances are intense and Morton Søborg’s gritty, atmospheric cinematography recalls ’70s crime movies such as ‘The French Connection’. Sadly, the tonally uneven ‘WAZ’ cannot quite match their piercing intelligence." -- Time Out

The Killing Gene (2008)71%
/
1/6
 
" Scriptwriter Shane Salerno’s dialogue is unspeakable, the visceral horror all too familiar, and the ideas distinctly second-hand." -- Time Out

Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)14%

" CGI-assisted ping pong and lame gags about dead pandas, simpering homos and ‘Antiques Roadshow’." -- Time Out

" Every element of Paddy Breathnach’s Irish slasher movie is so familiar that it feels like a dog-eared horror anthology found down the back of the sofa." -- Time Out

" The need to incorporate familiar characters and icons from the earlier films, together with flashbacks that flesh out Jigsaw’s pre-'puppet master' past, simply leads to an irritating series of creative dead ends. Truly, a hack-Saw." -- Time Out

Saw IV (2007)18%

2/6
 
" The scariest visage is that of Alice, whose flawless, airbrushed complexion is either a throwback to Mulcahy’s New Romantic pop promos or something dictated by Jovovich’s L’Oréal contract." -- Time Out

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)22%
/
4/6
 
" The performances may be uneven, but the flawed characters are believable, the sheep surprisingly scary and the animal antics often laugh-out-loud funny." -- Time Out

Black Sheep (2007)71%
/
2/6
 
" Green’s efforts to strike a balance between knowing humour and no-holds-barred horror are stymied by an erratic tone: a slow, talky build-up gives way to a soggy middle section and a messy, all-stops-out finale." -- Time Out

" Another failed attempt to bring Dick's deliriously paranoid mind-set to the screen." -- Time Out
