AICN Review #1 of Wake Wood
This film is another from the new found HAMMER Horror. For me, it’s their best original work of this new age.
wake wood, david keating
AICN Review #2 of Wake Wood
Though it doesn’t have Christopher Lee hissing at a leaping Peter Cushing or damsels sporting fancy dress and loads of cleavage, WAKE WOOD is a straight up and unapologetic horror film through and through.
wake wood, review
Bloody Disgusting Review of Wake Wood
MICAH SAYS: It’s the British “Pet Sematary” except that way more animals are harmed. Hammer Films latest release is another good one, in fact, it’s one of my favorites of the year so far. A mish mash of a ton of films all boiled into one slow burning, yet entertaining ride. And the ending…jeesh.

The Boston Globe Reviews "Enter the Void"
So here’s something else to supply your flat screen with mesmerizing viewing for a while: ‘Enter the Void’ (2010), French filmmaker Gaspar Noé’s sprawling, psychedelic meditation on hellish living, violent death, and the mysteries of reincarnation.
enter the void, boston globe review
Wall Street Journal reviews "Enter the Void"
But it’s a movie that absolutely has to be seen, and the new DVD/ Blu-ray’s 161-minute director’s cut offers even more of one of the “most” movies you’ll probably ever see.
