A bold and unqualified triumph, nifty trick and treat for Halloween that is, arguably, Hancock's best film ever, surpassing even his potent heart-tugger, the 1973 baseball drama "Bang the Drum Slowly."

An uneasy mix of B-movie scares.

A sturdy, well-made piece that never quite overcomes its structural flaws.

The opening and closing scenes are scary and should please fans of the genre, especially at Halloween time.

A psychological drama cum genteel shocker that's long on ambition and short on delivery.

Alternately tense and cheesy.
