I prefer critics who can convince me to take certain genre films seriously (Action, Horror, Erotica, etc). These days I have little interest in seeing what is considered a contemporary Art-House film: talky character-driven Indies that focus so intently on being realistic that they forget to be Cinematic. So with that said, I trust the amateur film critics of
DVD Maniac (for their opinions on Horror),
Mike Kitchell (for his opinions on arthouse/erotica/horror/), as well as some of the posters on his
Blogroll.
