Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Dagon' (2001)
The movie was awful and campy and tropey as fuck! AND IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT!!! My god, seriously, stop what you're doing and go watch this bizarre shit show. Make a fucking riff party out of it! Get a couple bottles of booze, some good friends, order pizza, SIT THE FUCK DOWN, and watch this movie.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Signal' (2007)
Yeah, it was pretty entertaining, being just on the horror side of horror/comedy. It's a lot like Yellowbrickroad in many ways as it's a slow descent into madness. I bring up, Yellowbrickroad a lot and for damn good reason. It's one of the best examples of cerebral horror movies. Check out the review below.YellowbrickroadANYWHO!... back to "The Signal." It just gets wackier and wackier. Yeah, it's really bloody violent, and people are marauding around killing each others, but it's not simple or unhinged like The Crazies, it's almost silly like everyone thinks they're in a fucking cartoon.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'White Noise' (2005)
You know, it's not a bad movie, but it's just so lukewarm compared to movies in its class. I'd compare this one to Stir of Echoes, and every time I do, I'm just going to end up saying, watch that instead. We can pretty much cut to the punch line here. Everything this movie does, Stir of Echoes does better, just with fewer shameless jump-scares.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Let the Right One In' (2008)
My God, this movie was both heart warming and terrifying at the same time. Look, if you lack the maturity or IQ to realize that Twilight is garbage, watch this movie and it might help you understand why. And by the way, liking Twilight does count as a mental deficiency in my book, fuck what you think...

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Perfection' (2018)
MY GOD this movie was agonizingly tense. From the first scene, they just gripped your nerves, and refuse to let go even during the moments of ease. There might be a break in the on-screen tension, but you are ever aware of its lingering presence.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Xtro 2: The Second Encounter' (1990)
This movie is so forgotten I practically had to do a deep web search to find a watchable copy. Seriously, just try to type it into the regular search and see if you can come up with a watchable copy. It won't come up. In fact even major horror fan pages don't mention this movie in their "complete list" of Alien themed movies. I have the distinct feeling this was a straight-to-video production. It took me forever just to find a bootleg copy that wasn't dubbed in some language I don't speak. When I finally did find one, the quality was so poor it was almost comical. Kinda like watching scrambled porn. The recording was clearly from an old VHS and the auto tracker kept popping on the screen in Spanish. If you know what either of those things are, you probably had some pretty kick ass horror movie memories like me.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Intruder Within' (1981)
Look at that retro 70s-80s VHS cover art! Look at that hammy rubber monster mark. That shit was straight outta Fangoria! And I thought Xtro II was hard to find. Again I had to use an alternative search function to pull up the IMDb archive page, and even deeper to find the full movie (which had subtitles in three different languages). I kept getting error messages trying to bring the page up on IMDb. It's probably so deeply archived there's some lone external hard drive somewhere that likely had to power up when their server tried to get the info.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Color Out of Space' (2010)
AKA 'The title soon to be added to horror movies ruined by Nicolas Cage' The Color Out Of Space (2019/2020). This story by H. P. Lovecraft has had dozens of cinematic adaptations, all of which did things right and things wrong. Colour From The Dark (2008) was the first movie I ever reviewed, and is the reason my blog went from politics to horror reviews. The review took up maybe six lines, but got triple the hits of any of my long winded political opinions, and the rest is history.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Lovely Molly' (2011)
Ehh, erm... uhhhh... yeah I can give it a pass. I have to admit, it took me a couple of attempts to get all the way through this movie. However, something kept pulling me back to give it another shot. And while it may have taken four overall sittings, I have to admit, it was at least interesting.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Blood Glacier' (2013)
Ehh, it was kinda cute. It might have actually been an okay movie if it wasn't for the down right abysmal English dubbing. Does anyone remember the original Resident Evil? not the movie, the video game for the Playstation. Remember the just AWFUL dialogue they dubbed into that video game? Yeah, that's pretty much the standard you should expect in this movie, at least the English dubbed version of the movie. But you know? It’s actually kind of cute. It pushes this movie from bad to good-bad.
