Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Antibirth' (2016)
Well that was fucking different... I was half considering making one of my nonsense "pretentious art snob" parody reviews about this but I think I want to actually talk about this movie. Which is funny, because unlike normal, I'm kinda at a loss for words.

Review: 'Halloween'
As far as can think of, this is my first horror sequel that I went to see on the big screen, and for good reason. Horror sequels, prequels, re-boots or re-makes do not fair well. There are very few successful ones or even cult favourites that fall into the horror genre.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Maggie' (2015)
You know what? I'm actually pretty impressed that Arnie didn't completely faff this movie up. He actually did an unexpectedly good job. Unfortunately, that's where my appreciation for this movie ends. Happily discovering that Arnold didn't ham up the acting isn't enough to make a decent flick, I'm sorry to say.

'Halloween' (2018) Is a Masterpiece (Spoilers)
***WARNING*** This article has MAJOR spoilers to the recent film Halloween. David Gordon Green and Danny McBride took a giant leap and decided to take over the Halloween franchise and they did not disappoint. Michael Myers is back on the big screen and he is as terrifying as ever. Halloween (2018) is a direct sequel from the first Halloween (1978), wiping out Halloween2-8 and the Rob Zombie installments. Green and McBride decided to erase them and bring Michael Myers back to his original routes. After seeing it two times within the last 24 hours, this is the movie true Halloween fans have been waiting for.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of '10 Cloverfield Lane' (2016)
Now this movie wasn't half bad. It actually starts out pretty damn good for that matter. It kinda loses stride quick, but it's a hard concept to sell and a fine line to walk. Let me s'plain... This is a concept I've spoken of many times in my reviews. Is the character out of his/her god damn gourd, or is this shit actually happening? No real spoilers here, our friend John Goodman springs it on you in the first few minutes of the movie. He didn't "kidnap" the female lead, he "rescued her" from the apocalypse... and who knows what's out there? Russians? Zombies? Aliens? Global viral outbreak? A big god damn creature from another dimension? I guess we'll never know! Not with John Goodman's character keeping the female lead locked in an underground bunker...

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Dreamcatcher' (2003)
GROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Ugh, I remember this movie being bad, but not this bad. I know books very rarely translate into good cinema, but Stephen King was always the exception to that rule. Fire Starter, Misery,Cujo,Maximum Overdrive,Salem's Lot, Pet Cemetery, Needful Things, the list goes fucking on for King movies, and not a damn one isn't a fucking classic in its own right... Then we come to this fucking movie. Jesus-fucking-Christ, even 1408 wasn't this bad! What the fuck happened?!?

Why I’m Really Excited for ‘Halloween’ (2018)
Ever since I can remember, I was introduced to the horror genre by John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978) when I was much younger. Since then, my love for horror grew and coming from someone who loves the Halloween franchise—watching it every year around October—or just in general, hearing there was going to be a brand spankin’ new Halloween film coming out October 19th, 2018, words couldn’t express how ecstatic I was to see Jamie Lee Curtis make the announcement on her Twitter back in 2017.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Baskin' (2015)
So I learned something new today. Turk-core is pretty fucking awesome...it might be the only thing good about this movie. Honestly, this movie was cheap torture porn. I mean, it was fun when it finally got going, but it took a long fucking time to get there and really, torture porn is kinda lame. After Hostel, it just got played out. Now Saw is what, 8 fucking movies deep and every other slasher movie turns into torture porn near the end?

11 Underrated Scary Movies
It's that time of the year where horror films are on TV everywhere, and we get to relive all the scares and frights we enjoyed as children. There are some films out that scare the crap out of people that aren't the most popular movies or necessarily "horror" movies. Nevertheless these films tend to be underrated or disregarded in some way. These movies, for me, fall under that category. Some of these have a huge cult following and might be on other lists. They may not be the most obscure or unknown but they are not the most known either. So let's go!
