Blood & Chocolate (2007)

Horror Rated PG-13

There’s something refreshingly low-tech about this werewolf romance which compensates for the shagginess that otherwise defines the production. Set in contemporary Bucharest, the movie follows a young werewolf (Agnes Bruckner, exuding carnality) who feels compassion, not hatred, for full-fledged humans. That compassion turns to love when she falls for a visiting American artist (Hugh Dancy).

Wolfman, The (2010)

Horror Rated R

“I never would have guessed that I would say this, but The Wolfman could have benefited from less Del Toro and more CGI.

Blade II (2002)

Horror Rated R

Thanks to the surprise success of the 1998 original, based on the Marvel comic book series about a half-human/half-vampire superhero (Wesley Snipes), this sequel boasts bigger sets, snazzier special effects and a “name” director in Mexico’s Guillermo del Toro (Mimic, The Devil’s Backbone). Unfortunately, it shares its predecessor’s relentless fascination with blood and guts. Unless

Blade: Trinity (2004)

Horror Rated R

Wesley Snipes’ baritone growl hits new depths in this third entry in the vampire-hunting series. Forget sunlight – at this point Blade could almost smooth-talk his enemies into an eternal slumber, like a cross between Abraham Van Helsing and Barry White. By far the lightest entry in the series, Blade: Trinity tries to adopt a

Turistas (2006)

Horror Rated R

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Horror Rated R

The impulse to laugh comes naturally during a lot of horror movies, so this British zombie comedy decides to go with the bloody flow. Simon Pegg plays an affable if unmotivated 20-something trudging through life like, you guessed it, a member of the undead. Dumped by his girlfriend just before a zombie outbreak, Shaun finds

Atom Age Vampire (1960)

Horror Rated NR

A 1960 import from Italy, this quintessential B movie presents with utter seriousness a mad scientist, nuclear-age paranoia and a lovely lady fainting into the arms of a hideous creature. Bad movies rarely come so good. The madness begins when statuesque stripper Jeannette Moreneau (Susanne Loret) is disfigured in a car accident. She’s taken in
