House (1985) 49% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film is such a damn good time, and the creature FX work is a clear highlight, it can be easy to overlook the fact that many of the story elements never quite gel.” – Dread Central Jan 30, 2026 Full Review House II: The Second Story (1987) 17% 2.5/5 EDIT “House II: The Second Story is a film that is trying maybe a bit too hard to match or top the first entry, failing spectacularly in its admirable quest.” – Dread Central Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “Firmly anchored by an Academy Award-winning performance from Kathy Bates, Misery is a lengthy exercise in tension that builds and builds until arriving at an explosive climax that gives viewers the catharsis they have waited 100 minutes to receive. ” – Dread Central Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Piranha II: The Spawning (1981) 4% EDIT “None of the ingenuity and style for which Cameron is known can be seen in Piranha II, and the final product more closely resembles the aquatic horror of Tentacles (1977), another Assonitis film. ” – Dread Central Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Jeffrey Combs delivers a career-defining performance as West, one of horror’s most ambivalent and captivating characters.” – Dread Central Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% 4/5 EDIT “The entire picture is a special effects extravaganza but Raimi always ensures the work is in service of the story and not a substitute for lack of one.” – Dread Central Aug 24, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% 5/5 EDIT “The Return of the Living Dead is unquestionably one of the greats. ” – Dread Central Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% 3.8/5 EDIT “Starman is well-written, with a script that jettisons anything deemed non-essential to the story’s heart. ” – Dread Central May 12, 2025 Full Review C.H.U.D. (1984) 43% 3/5 EDIT “C.H.U.D. is not a good movie. It is, however, a film that is a lot of fun despite the fact I can’t exactly pinpoint the source of that enjoyment. ” – Dread Central May 9, 2025 Full Review Army of Darkness (1992) 68% EDIT “The comedy does get a little tiresome at times, but Raimi does strike a pretty perfect balance between horror, humor, fantasy and heroics. ” – Dread Central Mar 30, 2023 Full Review Nightmare (1963) 71% 2.5/5 EDIT “Despite a strong first half Nightmare almost totally lost me in the second, where the focus is on an unsympathetic character and anyone halfway versed in cinema can tell exactly where things are headed. ” – Dread Central Jul 23, 2022 Full Review RoboCop (1987) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Packed with content and featuring the sharpest home video transfer yet, Arrow has produced the ultimate RoboCop package for fans. ” – Dread Central Jul 9, 2022 Full Review The Vampire Lovers (1970) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Scream Factory is asking fans to double dip on this new remastered version, and with such stunning video quality and a ridiculous wealth of extras it seems easily worth it.” – Dread Central Jul 9, 2022 Full Review Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) 42% 3.5/5 EDIT “The movie may be uneven, but Arrow's release is gorgeous.” – Dread Central Jul 9, 2022 Full Review Maniac Cop 2 (1991) 62% 3.8/5 EDIT “Maniac Cop 2 embodies all of the excess that made ‘80s horror sequels so great (well, a lot of them anyway). ” – Dread Central May 16, 2022 Full Review Deadly Friend (1986) 20% 2/5 EDIT “Craven’s original vision was totally compromised and while I don’t think it would’ve worked at least it would have been the film Wes wanted to make. What WB wound up releasing is mediocre at best though, usually, it’s just plain bad. ” – Dread Central May 16, 2022 Full Review Mill of the Stone Women (1960) 4.3/5 EDIT “Arrow has given Italy’s first trip into the world of color a fully-loaded edition worthy of its place in horror film history. ” – Dread Central May 16, 2022 Full Review Alligator (1980) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “Alligator is more than just a B-grade riff on Jaws and this jam-packed special edition has been long overdue.” – Dread Central May 16, 2022 Full Review An American Werewolf in London (1981) 89% 4.8/5 EDIT “If you’ve never owned this film on home video before, then this is the edition to buy. If you want the best possible video quality, this is the edition to buy.” – Dread Central May 16, 2022 Full Review Midnight (1982) 2.8/5 EDIT “Charming despite its many flaws Russo’s marginal cult hit is best recommended to fans of D.I.Y. regional horrors. Severin’s disc is a winner still, with excellent a/v quality and a handful of worthwhile interviews.” – Dread Central May 16, 2022 Full Review The Brotherhood of Satan (1971) 13% 2.8/5 EDIT “...this film does spend too much time spinning its wheels but the clandestine coven meetings and life-sized toy kills are both worth the price of admission...” – Dread Central Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Day of the Animals (1977) 40% 3.3/5 EDIT “While I tend to enjoy Girdler's work, this is one of his lesser efforts, with the only true entertainment coming from Leslie Nielsen's unhinged character. The animal attack scenes aren't very convincing and with not much of a story...” – Dread Central Aug 16, 2021 Full Review House of Wax (2005) 27% 3/5 EDIT “While House of Wax certainly delivers what it promises the film only half works for me because I'm more invested in the aesthetics than the actors. Still, for a big budget studio effort it's certainly watchable...” – Dread Central Jul 26, 2021 Full Review Santa Sangre (1989) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Undoubtedly the definitive word on Jodorowsky's celebrated surreal serial killer picture. A big recommendation.” – Dread Central Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Event Horizon (1997) 36% 4.8/5 EDIT “Still one of the best space horror films ever made...” – Dread Central Apr 3, 2021 Full Review
