    In terms of real horror, nevermind sexual-politics provocation, "Grave" can neither re-create its predecessor's impact nor compete with stranger new beasts like Lars von Trier's "Antichrist."
    • Metascore: 34
    • John DeFore 30
    A rote captivity drama with aspirations of sociopolitical relevance, As Good as Dead has nothing to say about torture or racism and little excitement to offer as compensation.
    • Metascore: 30
    • John DeFore 30
    Speed-Dating seems designed to exploit the black indie theatrical circuit but hardly merits even a DVD release.
    • Metascore: 18
    • John DeFore 30
    Lincoln's script has no knack for the pacing of cinematic exorcisms, and the truncated climax he does offer is short on action and scares.
    • Metascore: 33
    • John DeFore 30
    A grindhouse slasher picture that swings from dull to ridiculous without finding any pulpy pleasure in between.
    • Metascore: 33
    • John DeFore 30
    A barrage of unbelievable stereotypes try to kill each other in Barry Battles's dispiriting exploitation flick.
    • Metascore: 21

    When a slasher pic can't exploit a woodchipper for more sadistic thrills than we get here, it shouldn't expect moviegoers to salivate for a sequel.
