I do not agree with that because there were many horror films that other critics denounced that Ebert defended including Halloween (1978) and The Last House on the Left. I actually really enjoyed reading his reviews on many films (including horror). Not that I always agreed. He did launch a crusade against slashers though.

Yes, I know that's is true, having read (and seen) hundreds of his reviews (we received the daily Sun-times at home, and watched 'At the Movies' & 'Siskel & Ebert as a family). He was a complex mix, like all real people. I think it was just trying to conveyed that Horror movies were obviously not his favorite types of films. He certainly knew how to appreciate films whether he liked them or not.

Anyone else who has seen XTRO? Or it will end up with Insufficient Data.

Scare-O-Meter scores (out of 5)

Fire In The Sky (based on 5 ratings) - 3.5
Communion (based on 3 ratings) - 2.7
XTRO - Insufficient Data

More people need to see these alien encounters. 3 forgotten and underrated gems, IMO.

Added to the opening post.

Wolf Creek- 3

Surprisingly, I have not seen the other two. Even stranger, I actually own all three movies.
