  1. Drag Me to Hell (2009):Sam Raimi returns to his horror roots; at turns funny, gory, exciting, filled with great tension and physicality.
  2. The Wrestler (2008): Powerful and convincing performance from Rourke the centre of this realistic look at wrestling; moving and fascinating.
  3. My Bloody Valentine (2009): Grim little slasher remake with decent gore but weak storyline; no real improvement over the original.
  4. Angel of Death (2009): Good fight scenes and interesting style let down by generally poor acting, weak narrative and confused score.
  5. Blood: The Last Vampire (2009): Action horror film is all over the place with poor CGI and ropey accents; good sequences lost in the chaos.
  6. Harry Potter/Half-Blood Prince (2009): An exciting and nuanced film filled with great performances and tense action; series keeps improving.
  7. Valkyrie (2008): Gripping war thriller with good tension throughout and strong performances. A return to form for director Singer.
  8. Friday the 13th (2009): Pointless and tedious remake of a slasher classic brings nothing new and totally deforms a horror icon.
  9. Logan's Run (1976): Once-classic sci-fi film hasn't aged well, filled with ropey effects and strange characters but interesting concepts.
  10. The Bunker (2001): Tense, dark WWII horror thriller never seems to reach full intensity but entertaining nonetheless.
  11. Let the Right One In (2008): Cold, haunting exploration of love, death and isolation. Full review: http://tinyurl.com/dfabxu
  12. The Children (2008): Grim and terrifying English horror film stays intense throughout thanks to excellent use of sound and editing.
  13. My Name is Bruce (2007): Unfunny and self-indulgent meta-comedy that even avid Bruce Campbell fans will struggle through. Disappointing.
  14. Taken (2008): Unashamedly xenophobic revenge B-movie, overlong (at 93 mins.) and overwrought. Almost so bad it's good but not quite.
  15. Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008): Light comedy filled with likeable characters and some very funny moments but nothing terribly memorable.
  16. Doomsday (2008): Entertaining if slightly muddled apocalyptic action, heavy on style and homage but light on substance.
  17. Punisher: War Zone (2008): Bloody reboot of the franchise stays closer to Ennis' comics; weakened by some overacting but still enjoyable.
  18. Watchmen (2009) full review: http://tinyurl.com/aht4ou
  19. Transporter 3 (2008): Tepid follow-up to the insanity that was T2; fewer action sequences mixed with weak female lead makes for tedium.
  20. Burn After Reading (2008): Inverse Cold War noir from the Coen Brothers, occasionally very funny and filled with interesting performances.
