»rank: 1317
: :Amateur butcher and enthusiastic hockey fan Jason Vorhees is back in business, and business is good. Can a plucky young boy stop the madness before Camp Crystal Lake's population report takes yet another machete-aided dip? The stalk-and-slash formula was pretty narcoleptic by this point, but this otherwise humdrum entry is distinguished by some unusual casting choices (Crispin Glover as a stud in training? Corey Feldman as a genius?) and the splattery return of makeup master Tom Savini. The fact that this ...

Hand That Rocks the Cradle
»rank: 9923
: :A potboiler featuring a demented caretaker and a seemingly hapless suburban family, this is The Nanny of the 1990s. However, it is much more predictable than that 1965 Bette Davis psychodrama, and more graphic. lt works only because Rebecca De Mornay makes us intensely uncomfortable as the disturbed au pair who wants to take care of much more than her employer's well-being. Annabella Sciorra plays the perfect mother of a flawless family. Her obstetrician, however, is less than wonderful, having enjoyed ...

»rank: 4160
:Description:For Josh and Amanda, having to move to the remote, desolate town of Dark Falls was bad enough. But as soon as they moved into Dead House, things began to happen, things their parents couldn't see -- a ghostly shape at the window, a shadow on the wall, the way their dog kept growling at strangers, the quiet, death-pale neighbor kids. Was it the chemical spill that made the people of Dark Falls so strange, or something far more sinister?
