Horror contemplates in great detail how young people handle inordinate situations and all of life’s unexpected challenges.

Halloween II has always stood in the long shadow of its practically perfect predecessor. In many ways, it is a meaner film than the original.

Anderson’s Mortal Kombat and Christophe Gans’ Silent Hill, it’s easy to understand why videogame adaptations were once regarded as the lowest form of cinema.
