Dark Shadows
FULL REVIEW
Dawn of the Dead
Brilliantly paced zombie thriller that's been imitated since, still the pinnacle of the zombie genre
Plot: 5 Fear: 4 Gore: 5
R5
Deadtime
This won't win oscars but for what it's worth, it's a sure fire slasher hit that's perfectly paced and entertaining
Plot: 2 Fear: 3 Gore: 3
R3
Dead Hooker in a Trunk
Cult thriller that grabs you by the balls and tugs til they fall off. Crass, Gory, Funny
Plot: 4 Fear: 2 Gore: 5
R4
Death By Engagement
…or death by awful script writing, an uninspiring slasher that sees a man kill people who get engaged after a curse is placed on the ring
Plot: 2 Fear: 2 Gore: 2
R2
Death Trap
Tobe Hooper at his B-Movie best, what does every derelict Motel owner need? A Crocodile, a crass trash gem
Plot: 4 Fear: 3 Gore: 4
R4
Death Tube
Takeshi's Castle meets Saw in this over long Japanese thriller. Some gory deaths in a mock of the youtube generation
Plot: 3 Fear: 3 Gore: 4
R3
Deep Red
Giallo hunt for a murderer that has little horror in place for story and characterization, slow but worthwhile
Plot: 4 Fear: 2 Gore: 3
R3
Demoni
Cheap, nasty and damn good entertainment, this is giallo gold from the god of the genre, Argento. Blood, guts and cheese
Plot: 3 Fear: 3 Gore: 5
R4
Demons 2
A remake to 'Demoni' with the same set-up only this time in a tower block with less characterization and more gore
Plot: 2 Fear: 3 Gore: 5
R3
Detention
Tried so hard to be cool it forgot to make sense, visually stunning, poorly executed. Should have been better. Scott Pilgrim meets Donnie Darko, Disappointing
Plot: 2 Fear: 2 Gore: 3
R2.5
Devil
Shyamalan is back on form with this twist of a film keeping you guessing from start to finish, claustrophobic and tense
Plot: 5 Fear: 4 Gore: 3

The Devil's Carnival
FULL REVIEW
The Devil Inside
Generic exorcism film bundled with formulaic found footage leave TDI a jumpy but seen it all before cliche
Plot: 1 Fear: 3 Gore: 2
R2
The Devils Rejects
Same Firefly family, completely different film. The sequel to Ho1000C has a Hollywood feel to it losing some of the charm of the original. From the opening scene when the cops break in all guns blazing the film then turns the Hunters to the Hunted and to, dare we say it, a rather sad closure. Containing the humour, although toned down, and the twisted sickness of Otis and Baby of the original and bringing it full circle.
Plot: 4 Fear: 4 Gore: 5
R4.5
The Devil Rides Out
A tale of the dark arts that embellishes everything that makes Hammer a staple in horror, a truly chilling tale
Plot: 5 Fear: 5 Gore: 3
R5
The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer
Prequel to 'Rose Red' has a ghost story to tell but loses all sense of fear and tension, weak effort
Plot: 2 Fear: 2 Gore: 1
R2
The Divide
Brilliantly cast post apocalyptic thriller that's harrowing to watch, an old old story done to superb effect
Plot: 4 Fear: 5 Gore: 4
R5
Dogtooth
Strangely compelling but uncomfortable to watch this new wave of horror blurs the line between fiction and reality when a father brings his children up to his own experimental standards
Plot: 2 Fear: 4 Gore: 2
R2.5
The Doll Master
Korean tale of dolls and spirits that makes for an entertaining jumpy film with a deep story and creepy moments
Plot: 4 Fear: 3 Gore: 3
R3
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
When a family a house of tiny demons, a great cast is marred by bad CGI in this creepy fairytale
Plot: 4 Fear: 4 Gore: 2
R3
Don't Look Up
...this bad ghost film. Anything the Japanese can do, the Americans can't. Unsure as to who's the worst director in this film within a film.
Plot: 3 Fear: 2 Gore: 2
R2
Dorothy
This throwback to the best of hammer horror is both familiar and unoriginal but is no less entertaining
Plot: 3 Fear: 3 Gore: 3
R3
Dredd
Plotless & violent action film that has plenty of gore but not enough depth to make this a classic, entertaining at least
Plot: 2 Fear: 1 Gore: 4
R3
Driller Killer
An artist slowly goes insane to gory depths in this arthouse horror that is slow and not as nasty as you'd expect
Plot: 4 Fear: 3 Gore: 3
R3
