The Bigfoot Tapes (2012)

A Troll Hunter-like start is fine but as soon as the first occurrence begins The Bigfoot Tapes goes downhill fast becoming foreseeable and not especially enjoyable.

The Lords of Salem (2012)

Not exactly horror, The Lords of Salem appears to be an artistic statement without the punch; there is occasional fun but very little actual atmosphere.

Stolen (2012)

Stolen marks Nicolas Cage’s reunion with director Simon West, after their last film Con Air. Only intermittently entertaining and bogged down by too much over-familiarity in the writing and too little impact overall.

6 Plots (2012)

6 Plots is a decent enough concept hampered by a sub-par script and some soap opera level acting.

The Hounds (2011)

The Hounds is a low-budget horror with a clever twist that will make you jump, but it can’t escape from amateur film-making and poor scripting.
