14 Days of Horror on Top 10 Films

31 Days of Horror on Top 10 Films:
Day 1: Paranormal Activity 2 (Review) - After the success of Paranormal Activity there was always going to be a sequel. As we go back into the haunted house with another found-footage film, how does the latest hold up?
Day 2: Jennifer's Body (Review) - Megan’s…I mean Jennifer’s Body is Juno scribe Diablo Cody’s follow-up to her witty, intelligent comedy-drama about teen pregnancy.
Day 3: Dread (Review) - Three students decide to study fear as part of their university thesis in this horror film based on a Clive Barker short story. Anthony DiBlasi is the first-time director.
Day 4: Mimic (Review) - Guillermo Del Toro's first full-English language film is released on blu-ray with an all-new director's cut. But does it improve on the entertaining original?
Day 5: Burke and Hare (Review) - After twelve years on holiday John Landis returns to film-making with the darkly comic Burke and Hare.
Day 6: Deep Rising (Review) - Deep Rising has its flaws - it isn't original and quite happily rips-off other films - but it is undeniably a lot of fun with its sense of self-mocking humour.
Day 7: Legion (Review) - Scott Stewart's odd post-apocalypse film features Paul Bettany as a heavenly angel who thinks he's the Terminator. | The eternal horror of the Maze (Article) Claire Packer joins Top 10 Films' 31 Days of Horror with a look at the use of mazes in horror and fantasy cinema.
Day 8: - The Broken (Review) - This riff on Invasion of the Body Snatchers isn't half as fun.
Day 9: Julia's Eyes (review) - Pan’s Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro producers Guillem Morales stylish thriller about a woman trying to find her sister’s murderer before her degenerative eye disease renders her blind.
Day 10: - Cherry Tree Lane (Review) - A tense home invasion thriller from the director of London To Brighton.
Day 11: - The Ring (2002) (Review) - The American remake of the scariest Japanese film ever made - how does it hold up in comparison? | Top 10 scariest films ever made
Day 12: - Let The Right One In (Review) - Tomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In breathes new life into the vampire genre with a tale of survival and coming of age. If Twilight was the fast food of vampire films, then this is fine dining.
Day 13: - The Thing (1982) (Review) - One of the greatest remakes ever made, John Carpenter’s 1982 science-fiction horror is a tale of terror that sees Kurt Russell battle a shape-shifting alien.
Day 14: - The Wolfman (2010) (Review) - The Wolfman looks great thanks to some wonderful photography but Rick Baker’s great make-up effects fail to gloss over the film’s distinct lack of thrills.
