    The Wailing
    Not only is the film a compellingly told tale of suspense and terror, but it's crafted with such precision and sense of timing that one can cry "Masterpiece!" without being shamefaced or wondering if a hyperbole-induced crime against all good sense has just been committed.

    The Love Witch
    Biller is an eccentric talent - always a plus in the world of film - and The Love Witch is a triumph of form and style.

    Under the Shadow
    Under the Shadow is not only perfectly paced, the storytelling and plotting is emotionally gripping. The director also uses setting and location, composition and framing like a master of horror.

    31
    31 is a horror show delivered in hammer blows, or 'Whitechapel-style'. You either dig it or you don't.

    Cell
    Tod Williams, a journeyman best known for Paranormal Activity 2, has managed to transfer King's very popular brand of horror with a good deal of success.

    The Shallows
    Displaying an exemplary commitment to knuckle-biting tension, director Serra has made a riveting B-movie.

    Witness for the Prosecution
    While not amongst the greater, more celebrated titles in Billy Wilder’s acclaimed filmography, his big screen adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution boasts a fine, scenery-chewing performance by Charles Laughton, here playing a cantankerous barrister defending a murder suspect.

    Au Revoir les Enfants
    William Faulkner once made the sage point that “the past is never dead. It’s not even past.” Louis Malle’s Golden Lion winner Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987) is a Second World War-set film very much guided in spirit by the US novelist’s musing on the febrile relationship between memory, time and individual and collective histories.

    Cult of Chucky
    Cult of Chucky is by and large a gory hoot, with Jennifer Tilly stealing every scene she’s in.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 100 Martyn Conterio
    Jaws
    Jaws is still terrific and has lost none of its bite.

    Freaks
    Undoubtedly flawed, Freaks is also admirably bonkers and quite simply unforgettable.
