A Christmas Carol (1984) 98% EDIT “What separates this “Carol” from all others is its wonderful cast. Legendary actor George C. Scott is an ideal curmudgeon as Scrooge, so cold and stone-faced that one almost bristles at his heartless manner.” – Film Threat Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures (2001) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Like the man himself, the fascination with Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures lies in the details.” – Film Threat Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Rififi (1955) 92% 4/5 EDIT “A fine example of American film noir via Paris, France.” – Film Threat Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Dragonslayer (1981) 84% 3/5 EDIT “In today's glut of so-called "effects films" featuring all CGI and no story, Dragonslayer is a reminder that a balance between the two is indeed possible.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review The Devil's Backbone (2001) 93% 3/5 EDIT “The most polished work that Del Toro has created in some time.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Nosferatu (1922) 97% 5/5 EDIT “A silent landmark that forged a genre through basic, often crude techniques of light, shadow, and special effects.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Shadow of the Vampire (2000) 82% 4.5/5 EDIT “Impresses on most every conceivable level: as a pure film, as wild, speculative storytelling, and, like Murnau's own Nosferatu, a benchmark ranking among the most ingenious vampire movies ever crafted.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Reefer Madness (1936) 39% 3/5 EDIT “The film is more interesting as a video time capsule reflecting what some saw as a threat to America's moral fiber.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Holiday Inn (1942) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Call it old-fashioned or old Hollywood fluff, Holiday Inn is a sweet, pleasant slice of another time in pop entertainment.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Final (2001) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Best known as a gritty wiseass, Denis Leary creates a fine dramatic performance as Bill, as does his co-star Hope Davis whose screen presence is glacial and entirely believable.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Lift (2001) 50% 5/5 EDIT “A wonderfully acted, finely-crafted project that deserves our attention.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review
