Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Us' (2019)
Jordan Peele is hands down the new Master of Horror and I can't wait to see his take on The Twilight Zone when it airs. I should mention, I'm easily bored by home invasion movies. Regardless of the sociopolitical undertones of movie like The Purge, or the feminist undertones of Hush, I simply couldn't get into the stories. Home invasion always smacks of silly upper-class privileged fear mongering, regardless of how it was spun. So, regardless of the fact, there's clearly some kind of supernatural overtone to this movie, I was still worried it was gonna be just another home invasion movie. There has also been a huge hype machine behind Jordan Peele since Get Out and I was worried this couldn't live up to the expectations.

'Us': Movie Review
With his breakout success in 2017, Get Out director rolls out yet another ambitious film. Quickly joining the ranks of select filmmakers that can sell out theatres based on their name, there is a connotation and expectation now that comes with the tagline “A Jordan Peele film.”

'Get Out' (2017): A Fanboy Reflects
SPOILERS for those that haven't seen the film. I’m not a horror fan. As a student of film, I am of course aware of the tropes and have watched a few horror films in the past. But, to be honest, I’m too much of a coward to watch most. I assumed Get Out would be a similar situation. That proved, however, to not be the case.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Dark Waters' (1994)
The opening of this movie sets the bar so low, you don't expect much of this movie. That makes it pleasantly surprising that the rest of the movie is pretty good. Of course, the rest of this movie is still begging to be riffed, but it's still a pretty good movie. The ending is a bit predictable, the practical FX are absolute garbage, and the rubber monster is downright silly, but everything else is okay.
