It's always a satisfying surprise when a horror film transcends what sounds like a thoroughly conventional story -- and it's even better when that film ends up as great as Chan-wook Park's Stoker.

I think it's safe to say that the Hatchet series has run its course, at least for the time being, but at least chapter three treats the fans well and doesn't skimp on the nasty bits.

Set in 1970, Berberian Sound Studio is about a reputable British sound designer who arrives in Italy to begin post-production work on a new film. Unfortunately for the uncomfortable Gilderoy (Toby Jones), the project he's working on is a horror film of a decidedly grotesque nature.

I wouldn't go so far as to call Lifeforce an "overlooked classic," but it certainly seems like a genre film that seems ripe for rediscovery and perhaps some long-overdue appreciation.

Not only does Sightseers satisfy in a sly and very quick fashion, but it also stands as a testament to what you can pull off with no money, a few good ideas, a handful of talented people, and some really pretty locations.

I don't recall if Max Brooks' World War Z was a smash hit when it hit bookstore shelves in the fall of 2006, but it's safe to say that it has quickly become one of the most beloved tomes in all of zombie fandom.
