Creepshow III (review): HBO
This third installment in the George Romero/Stephen King-launched anthology series features five new tales of horror: "Professor Dayton," "Alice," "Rachel the Call Girl," "The Radio," and "The Haunted Dog."
A bastardization of the Creepshow legacy, part III arrives as a footnote in the franchise and a prime example of bankrupt filmmaking.

Rob Schmidt’s entry in the MOH anthology takes a burning social issue and manages to make an entertaining film—a feat some other MOH veterans failed miserably at.
Pan’s Labyrinth: New Line (TEX’S PICK OF THE WEEK)
In the fascist Spain of 1944, the bookish young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer escapes into an eerie but captivating fantasy world.
This week’s pick is a no-brainer. Guillermo Del Toro's masterpiece is likely the most important genre film since SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.

The Thirst (review): Starz/Anchor Bay
Welcome to an urban underworld of pleasure and pain where flesh-fueled slaughter is the ultimate high. Matt Keeslar of and Clare Kramer of star as a pair of recovering drug addicts recruited by a clan of sex & gore crazed vampires led by the charismatic madman Darius. But as each depraved ‘fix’ leads them deeper into hell, what will be the final price for the most horrific addiction of all?
An interesting if blatantly derivative vampire flick from the crew that brought you ALL SOULS DAY.
