Scream (1996, 100 min., R)

Scream 2 (1997, 120 min., R)

Has it only been one year since director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson reintroduced the joys of the slasher film to the American moviegoing public with Scream?

Scream 4 (2011, 103 min., R)

This reboot of the franchise is too self-referential for its own good.

Scream 3 (2000, 116 min., R)

Third time's the charm in the concluding (maybe) chapter of Wes Craven's self-referential (and self-reverential) teen slasher series. As per the rules of the game, anything goes this time out, meaning that embattled teen Sidney ...

The Seagull's Laughter (2001, 105 min., NR)

Set in 1950s Iceland, this film is equal parts noirish mystery and coming-of-age tale.

The Search for One-Eye Jimmy (1996, 82 min., R)

A curious little independent film straight out of Brooklyn that would have worked better as a 20-minute short than an 80-minute feature, One-Eye Jimmy haphazardly follows a day in the life of several Noo Yawk small-timers ...

In this unique family film that's also an ode to heroic movies gone by, a boy is sent for the summer to live with his two eccentric uncles in Texas.

"The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb" (1993, 60 min., NR)

Like a cross between the Brothers Quay, Jan Svankmajer, and David Lynch, Tom Thumb is a dark, eerie retelling of the familiar tale of the tiny boy and his magical adventures in a world of giants. ...

Secret Things (2002, 115 min., NR)

Violent French erotica about female empowerment is a turbocharged gender bender that's equal parts soft-core porn and overwrought symbolism.

Over-the-top gore is the rule when Chucky and Tiffany are resurrected by their anatomically incorrect offspring.

The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007, 94 min., PG)

This fantasy film, adapted from Susan Cooper's series of novels, is utterly devoid of anything but bombastically simplistic notions.

Senseless (1998, 88 min., R)

I suppose it's good to know that as long as Penelope Spheeris is around, David Spade will probably have a steady stream of pay-the-bills roles offered to him. Her comedies are always in need of someone ...

Separation, La (2004, 89 min., NR)

Nobody exports heartbreak like the French. This subdued, icy-cool tale of emotional meltdown and bitter acrimony among otherwise sane adults should hit home with anyone who's ever been put through the meat grinder o' luv. Those ...

Servants of Twilight (1991)

While not as awful as the last film adaptation of a Dean Koontz novel (the evil Corey Haim vehicle Watchers), Servants is a far cry from what it could have been. It's hard to imagine an ...
