At first, going into “Babysitter Wanted,” you are led to believe this is another “When a Stranger Calls” rip off — albeit a good one, because Sarah Thompson, as the babysitter of the title, has plenty of charisma and the acting chops necessary to headline a film like this. Actually, all the acting and production values are pretty good.

An ingenious, awesome zombie movie, “Deadgirl” is about as far away from a popcorn horror movie as you can get.

A very leisurely paced cheese fest with a discofied soundtrack and unintentional laughs aplenty, “House of Death” is a forgotten horror movie worth watching if you have lots of time to kill and a taste for bad movies.

A brilliant, cheeseball horror thriller that takes some of the concepts of the flawed ’70s thriller “The Godsend” and amps up the tension by a thousand times.

Horror train films are few and far between, but one inevitably shows up every decade or so.

What I love about “The Devil’s Rejects” is that it’s a true grindhouse movie.
