THE NUN (2018)

You could fill an ocean with the classic Universal and Hammer monster movie atmosphere pouring from “The Nun” like a waterfall.

HURT (2018)

If “Hurt” has a specific style in mind, message it wishes to impart, or artistic objective it aims to achieve, I can’t tell what any of those might be.

THE HAUNTED (2018)

If you want to watch a nondescript woman unhurriedly explore an unremarkable house for the better part of an hour, “The Haunted” has you covered.

YOU DIE (2018 - Italian)

I can’t imagine how Apple ever allowed You Die onto iTunes, much less what kind of paranormal programming would be required to produce such an app in the first place.

GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN (2018)

“Goosebumps 2” mixes typical teen drama with a Spielberg-style childhood adventure to achieve its vibrant vibe of harmless horror and fright-spiked fun.

VENOM (2018)

For one hell of a messily mediocre movie, “Venom” can still land more than a few raw punches of enjoyable nuttiness.

DISCARNATE (2018)

“Discarnate” comes across as the kind of dreamily discombobulated indie horror movie you might imagine could only come from the vision of an Italian fashion photographer.

DRAUG (2018 - Swedish)

“Draug” retains a sharp edge of distinctness as supernatural suspense stories go, with the period setting providing ample panache.

THE FINAL WISH (2018)

“The Final Wish” becomes bothersome because genre vets are at the wheel, yet everyone drives under the speed limit on a well-traveled road.

LEPRECHAUN RETURNS (2018)

“Leprechaun Returns” turns a blind eye to opportunities for irreverent inventiveness to deliver something that colors within expected lines for a standard Syfy B-movie.

SECRET SANTA (2018)

Relentlessly manic from start to finish, “Secret Santa” rockets through dark humor and darker horror with devilish delight.

SLAY BELLES (2018)

Definitely spike your eggnog before dipping into its weirdo waters. If you have a taste for some gleeful trashiness too, so much the better.

YOU MIGHT BE THE KILLER (2018)

“You Might Be the Killer” has enough charm to be casually captivating, even when its humor has a hard time hitting.

CHRISTMAS BLOOD (2017 - Norwegian)

It won’t be displacing “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” or any of its sequels for that matter, as a go-to Santa slasher any time soon.

THE GOLEM (2018)

Of the titles released thus far, “The Golem” easily leads the pack as the best looking and most satisfying movie wearing the “Dread Central Presents” banner.

I STILL SEE YOU (2018)

Shut the blinds on the story’s shortcomings, brace yourself for low voltage energy, and get on board with acceptably average entertainment.

THE WITCH IN THE WINDOW (2018)

Its effectiveness at engineering an unsettling tone enriches the experience as emotionally intriguing entertainment.

THE INVOKING 5: PHANTOMS (2018)

As a patchwork anthology, “The Invoking: Phantoms” is decidedly average. But examine each piece individually and sincere effort is easier to appreciate.

ELVES (2018)

All I want for Christmas is to forget “Elves” as fast and as fully as I forgot “The Elf.”

THE FARM (2018)

Take your pick of any adjective starting with “un” for an accurate description of the movie’s thoroughly hollow thrill factor.

Too bad its oddness can’t overcome overwhelming dullness, making for a “found footage” fizzle likely to be lost and never looked for again.

Without any interesting arcs, side plots, or even a main plot to go along with the gore, “Ice Cream Man” devolves into a lot of meaningless mayhem.

Three out of four stars is a solid score for the high mark “Evil Dead Burn” hits on the gruesomeness strength-o-meter hammered with all the movie’s might.

This supposedly preplanned trilogy became a tangled, bloated, inconsistent blob of inconsequential characters, dead ends, and ludicrously lame lore.
