SLITHER (15) With tongue wedged firmly in cheek, Slither resurrects the schlock horror monster movie with unabashed glee. The film embraces its lunacy with abandon, delighting in the gruesome demise of the cast and some sick and twisted leaps of imagination.
FREEDOMLAND (15) Adapted from the book, Freedomland lacks any sense of urgency or suspense. The build-up to this explosion of pent-up emotion is rather pedestrian, despite the casting of Samuel L Jackson and Julianne Moore's performance is mannered and forced.
SILENT HILL (15) Based on the successful video game of the same name, Silent Hill is a plodding ghost story set in parallel universes. Visually, the film is quite impressive but it is far too long and horribly disjointed. Stars Radha Mitchell and Jodelle Ferland.
