(R, 85 mins) Alex has brought her friend Marie to her parents' isolated farmhouse to escape the hectic pace of Paris for the weekend. A mad intruder is about to turn their innocent dreams into a relentless and bloody nightmare.
Released in Europe two years ago, High Tension struggled to find an American distributor until its violence was scaled back to an R rating. Film is dubbed, not subtitled. Fortunately, there's minimal dialogue. The film has a twist ending which reportedly goes way beyond the usual virgin-as-heroine/slut-as-victim dichotomy of the slasher genre.

(PG-13, 102 mins) Koji Suzuki's short story "Floating Water" was the inspiration for the original Dark Water (2002), directed by Hideo Nakata (Ringu and Ringu 2). Dahlia (Jennifer Connelly) and her five-year-old daughter move into a run-down apartment on New York's Roosevelt Island. There's no light and a weirdly evolving damp patch on the bedroom ceiling. Dahlia suffers from migraines, a lingering symptom of her own troubled childhood, and needs to prove she can make a home. Director Walter Salles weaves a delicate web of dread around mother and child that cleverly underscores the insecurities of single parenthood. As is often the case with East-to-West remakes, explicitness trumps subtlety.
UNDEAD
(R, 100 mins) After losing her childhood farm to the bank, local beauty Rene plans to leave town and head for the big city. Suddenly, an avalanche of meteorites bombards the town, bringing an otherworldly infection. The living dead awake, trapping Rene in a nightmare of zombies hungry for human flesh. She manages to find salvation in a small isolated farmhouse owned by the town loony, Marion. There she meets four other desperate survivors. Together, they battle their way through a plague of walking dead and discover that there is more transpiring than just an infection.

George A. Romero's LAND OF THE DEAD
(R, 93 mins) It's been 20 years since George Romero last portrayed a clash between the living and the undead. Day of the Dead (1985) was worthy, but not nearly as adrenalizing as Dawn of the Dead (1978).
The zombies in Land of the Dead now have the lay of the land. Most of the survivors are sequestered in a high rise called Fiddler's Green, an all-in-one environment run by Dennis Hopper and populated by elitists. The proletariat in the streets below are protected by electrified fences. Mercenaries led by Riley (Simon Baker) and Cholo (John Leguizamo) venture beyond the gates to capture supplies for Kaufman's tenants.

KONTROLL
(R) Nihilistic fable is a doom-laden yet surprisingly affecting tale of a subway inspector whose life below-ground is an escape from reality. To realize his dystopic vision, Hungarian director Nimrod Antal spent nine months seeking permission to film in Budapest's ancient and labyrinthine subway system.
Antal's camera creates a kind of gothic art from the subway's dank beauty, from the arched grandeur of the platforms and the glowing nimbus of light that signals an approaching train. Cinematographer Gyula Pados -- who trained with the great Vilmos Zsigmond -- washes everything in slime green and sooty black, so that even the passengers look smudged and exhausted. Hurtling forward to the rattling of the trains -- and Neo's electronic score -- the movie sucks you in; like a story set on another planet, Kontroll is sufficient unto itself. Having descended into its depths, we no longer have any desire to see the light.

(R, 101 mins) In Rob Zombie's sequel to "House of 1,000 Corpses" the Firefly family is on the run and the local sheriff raids their compound, uncovering the usual: human skulls used as household ornamentation, body parts in the fridge, and a mass grave of about 75 bodies under the house. The steely-eyed sheriff vows to do what all steely-eyed sheriffs in horror movies vow to do, namely "the Lord's work."
