'The Strangers: Prey at Night'
I just finished watching The Strangers, starring Liv Tyler, on Netflix. My first and only time watching it was ten years ago. Back then, I had given it kind of low marks and hadn't seen it since. When I re-watched it, I still got the same feeling that it was too much of a classy, adult version of The Charles Manson Family taking over at Camp Crystal Lake on Friday the 13th. I've always been a huge Jason fan and in my opinion, Jason Voorhees and his mom would have run through them and taken the Camp back, of course! The Strangers leaves me with too many unanswered questions, at the end especially. I feel other horror films at least TRY to give clues away! I never got that "AHA" moment, there was no carrot dangling, and no "There's going to be a sequel" when it ended, so finding there was a sequel was a pleasant surprise for me.

Most Disturbing Movies on Netflix You Can Watch Right Now
Horror movies were the first ever love/hate relationship I was ever a part of. I'm sure there are many people out there that are like me. People who wait for the latest horror movie to arrive, only to stay up the whole night after watching, wondering why you would do this to yourself. Again.

Review of 'Demon House'
Demon House is the name of the 2018 documentary starring, written by, and directed by Zak Bagans (of Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures fame). It follows Bagans and his paranormal investigation crew as they examine a house, known for its haunted history, in Gary, Indiana. The home, purchased sight-unseen by Bagans, has been the flashpoint of many stories involving demonic possession since first being publicized in 2014.

Why 1990s 'Night of the Living Dead' Is One of the Better Horror Remakes
There are as many good remakes as there are many good films. Very few. A remake is the opportunity to take a story, a character or an idea that was expressed in one film and express it differently in another. Remakes such as De Palma's Scarface, The Cohen Brothers' True Grit, and John Carpenter's The Thing are good examples.
