'Peelers' - A Review (Netflix)
Ladies and gentleman, we have a contender. I have watched a lot of terrible films on Netflix, mostly—I tell myself—to review them. There is, of course, a perverse joy in watching terrible films, but there are some films that test even yours truly’s capacity for awful.

'Primal Rage: The Legend of Konga' (2018)
So you’re telling me right here,right now to my face,that you actually believe there’s an Oh-Mah out there? Admittedly, Primal Rage certainly won’t win the prize for the most original film. And there are some pain points to be found in this B-film. But to my surprise, I liked this movie anyway. The well-known theme about an unknown creature hiding in the woods, and racking up random victims. Take Animal, and add some Predator elements to it, and you can already imagine what you get presented. It’s hardly surprising that you’ll think of these films, because Patrick Magee, director of this low-budget horror film, was also involved in the SEs of Alien vs. Predator. He wisely applied the experience he gained there.

'The Haunting of Sharon Tate' - A Review (Netflix)
The B-roll of Los Angeles at night is quite good, and the title cards are accurate. These are the only positives I can find in the absolute abomination that is passing itself off as a film, The Haunting of Sharon Tate. Everything about the man behind the camera and story and script, Daniel Farrands’– I refuse to call him a filmmaker, director, or writer on the strength of this–project, is bad.

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.

Weird "Coincidences"
I started watching these really weird videos on YouTube. It started with me watching another beauty MUA video from a YouTuber I used to watch all the time. I had quit watching her, because she had been messing with the "other" side, and did not have a clue what she was doing. She would be calling and challenging things that she did not understand, and I had eventually started having nightmares about the things she happened to be "playing" with.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Mothman Prophecies' (2002)
I did like this movie, though it’s not without its problems. It was a worthy attempt at being cerebral horror, and while I did find it lacking, this movie walked the very thin line between paranormal and madness. I wasn’t sure if I could recommend this movie at first, but over time it grew on me. I really grew to appreciate its presentation.

Beware the Man on Cherry Street
At the end of the block, in a crumbling brick house, lives the man with no face. If the sun is out, he is not. He only goes outside when he can hide within the dark blankets of the night. Every night I see his shadow in his backyard. Always pacing—back and forth. Back and forth. It's like clockwork. Many nights I have fallen asleep watching his rhythmic pacing from my bedroom window. It's almost hypnotizing. It has become an obsession. I don't know how to stop.

'Wildling' (2018)
Do you want to hear a story?Do you want me to tell you about the Wildling? Wildling is a peculiar film. It’s hard to put a specific label on it. One moment it feels like a teenage movie about a freshly emerging love. On the other hand, you can’t call it a teenage film per se. It’s a kind of coming of age film with an alternative twist. You could also call it a horror film with influences from werewolf films. But a “Wildling” actually belongs to a different kind of family of mythological creatures. And then there’s the moment Anna (Bel Powley) enters our civilization after years of isolation. She suddenly faces our way of behaving and living. Immediately I thought of films such as Mama and Pete’s Dragon where something similar happened. Add to this the hunting scenes in a wooded area and you can immediately conclude that this film cannot be classified directly under one specific genre. In that respect, it can already be called unique.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Phantoms' (1998)
I remember this being a pretty bad movie when I was a teenager growing up. I watched it again to determine if it was a good-bad movie or just another Ben Affleck bomb. I mean, Ben Affleck has a lot of bunker busters under his name, so it was kind of hard to set aside my memory of him and my memory of this movie.

Closet Doors
That Morning I woke up this morning and the closet doors were open. Gaping. Two white doors and a dark abyss, arms wide open, although it didn’t seem all that welcoming. It was almost unnatural how far back those closet doors stretched, hinges weren’t engineered to fold nearly 180 degrees. I have large, shutterless windows that face east, allowing the sun to illuminate my entire room every morning. The light seemed to reach everywhere, except within the closet. I never noticed how much depth it had, like the pupil of an eye, or a cool, dark lake on a night with a cloudy moon.
