After Dark Horrorfest 2007 is a compilation of 8 film horror films. The majority of reviews for the 2007 compilation are highly unfavorable.
Critique
- "This is quite simply not the best that independent horror has to offer. There are many, many superior titles screening at films festivals each year. No doubt some of these films are holding out for solo distribution deals, instead of being packaged with seven other low-profile films; even so, it should have been possible for After Dark to field a stronger set of “8 Films to Die For.”" (Steve Biodrowski)
Horrorfest 2007 Reviews Good
- Bloody-Disgusting.com: Borderland Review
- "I was not entirely sure what to expect as I crossed into BORDERLAND, but the film mixes the dramatic aspects of a true crime story with elements indicative of modern horror cinema to great triumph."
- Fangoria.com: Borderland Review
- "Berman's got evident genre-filmmaking chops, though, and they shine through often enough to make BORDERLAND worth the trip."
- Variety.com: Mulberry Street Review
- "What really sets it apart from the usual rat scarefest is the gritty feel for the kind of close-knit Manhattan tenement living that's been all but gnawed away."
Horrorfest 2007 Reviews Bad
- Variety.com: Nightmare Man Review
- "If there were a 99 Cents Store for movies, cheapo pic -- designed more for lonely male geeks in their teens and above than the date crowd -- would fit nicely on the shelves."
- The Los Angeles Times: Nightmare Man Review
- "By the end, "Nightmare Man" becomes lovable and charming schlock that simply outstays its welcome."
- Bloody-Disgusting.com: Crazy Eights Review
- " The film is yet another in a long line of slow-paced, exposition heavy horror films lacking blood and gore."
- Bloody-Disgusting.com: The Deaths of Ian Stone Review
- "There's zero scare, zero substance, zero creativity and zero value in this lackluster feat from Stan Winston's camp."
- Bloody-Disgusting.com: Unearthed Review
- "UNEARTHED is a disappointment on all levels from the look to the creature FX to the acting and the screenplay. Do I hear the Sci-Fi Channel calling?"
- Fangoria.com: Unearthed Review
- "The result is that it's near-impossible to get a bead on what's happening at numerous key moments, which serves only to distance viewers from the action instead of drawing them into it."
- Bloody-Disgusting.com: Mulberry Street Review
- "Mickel seems to have a lot to say, and I think he told the right saga to relate his opinion, but the films failing comes in that he focused on a few key points but neglected the overall plotline to point them out."
- Bloody-Disgusting.com: Tooth and Nail Review
- "As a matter of fact, the second half of this movie is so atrocious that I'll end my review on the same half-assed note."
- Bloody-Disgusting.com: Lake Dead Review
- "Where am I? Seriously... what has this world come to where a film like LAKE DEAD gets a theatrical release? LAKE DEAD is a sad attempt at returning the '80s filled with cheap FX and mind numbing acting."
- Fangoria.com: Lake Dead Review
- "Horror, of course, thrives on worst-case scenarios, and this aspect of LAKE DEAD wouldn't draw comment, except that it's returned to again and again as the explanation for everything that's going on; this is a case where a little more mythology might have gone a long way."
