THE "REST" OF THE GORY How do you build a better slasher flick? You start with a better slasher like ChromeSkull.
THE FUTURE'S "SALVATION" There's just no stopping those pesky Terminators as they try to squash mankind.
THIS NEW "HOUSE" The remakers of "LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT" aimed to establish a solid foundation of tension and terror.
KEEPERS OF THE "MUTANT CHRONICLES" Tenacity and ambition pay off as the long-mooted sci-fi shocker finally blasts onto screens.
"BURROWERS" GIVE BACK DEATH The Wild West becomes a lot wilder when subterranean flesheating creatures surface.
PEELING THE "VINYAN" You'll find many layers when you take this trip into the depths of the jungle-and the psyche.
THE "100" CLUB It's led by filmmaker Eric Red and stars Famke Janssen and Michael Pare with their new "Feet"-ure.
FORGIVE IT ITS "TRESPASS" Or the alien Ghota will make ooze out of you in a homage to the B-features of the '50s.
FORGOTTEN HORRORS: "ALIEN ZONE" You won't find anything spacey in this Oklahoma-lensed entry in the anthology stakes.
NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND: JASON PAUL COLLUM It wasn't always happy and gay creating his alternative-lifestyle fear fare.
ELEGY Fango fans made good
MONSTER INVASION Small-screen slayings on "Harper's Island"; still holding a "Grudge"; wrap your mind around "Timecrimes"; the 2009 Chainsaw Awards ballot!
DR. CYCLOPS "Cremator" is hot stuff; not enough tricks in the "Walled"
DVD DUNGEON "Let the Right One" into your permanent collection; good and bad luck with "Friday the 13th" extras
HORRORCADE "Resistance" to the second in the series is futile; the pleasures of "Lux-Pain"
