Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Jason X' (2002)
I honestly can't understand why fans of the franchise hate on Jason X so much. They act like the first seven movies are somehow amazing masterpieces in horror. A long ass time ago, I did a full review of the first one and most of the first seven. Friday The 13th (1980)

'Friday the 13th'—Beating a Dead Horse and Having Fun With It
Friday the 13th, the original film, is a very interesting topic. It created one of the most iconic series in pop culture history, but at the same time it’s nothing more than an average b-movie riding on the success of Halloween. Even Victor Miller, the writer of the movie, has stated that it was meant to be a rip-off of the classic slasher. Now hearing that, you may think that I don’t like this movie. Don’t get me wrong, I love this movie. I love the whole damn series. I own every movie and I watch them religiously, even the reboot (which isn’t as bad as most people say it is). It’s just interesting that this monster of a series had such a humble beginning. But enough about that. You’ve seen the title. You’re probably thinking, “are you gonna shit on the greatest horror franchise of all time?” And yes, yes I am. But in a great way. As you’ve figured out by now, I’m talking about how Friday the 13th is beating a dead horse and having fun with it.

'Hereditary' - A Movie Review
I am still trying to re-adjust my jaw from having it fall to the ground so many times. Trailers. You either love them or hate them. Some give away too much, while others hide twists so well that you swear you walked into the wrong theater.

"We're a Bunch of Dead Men"
I recall taking this picture back in 2017 I believe. I remember us hitching our bikes among our shoulders, and shyly creeping through a field of pesticide infested weeds. The gnats and mosquitoes were clinging onto our legs, as we stepped onto the damp dirt. We were eagerly trying to get into Dead Man's Tunnel. Peter was with us that day after he recently suffered a broken ankle that put him in the hospital for months. Sadly, I had a lot of guilt for that incident, the whole crew did. The three of us were rather excited to see Peter back in action again finally. I missed him talk about politics, as he’d go on this endless rant about this nation is great, and screw anyone who goes against it.

'Escape Room' and Low Expectations
There's something of a stigma that comes with PG-13 movies, and rightfully so. It's an extremely fruitful audience–attracting teenagers not yet seventeen, the heart of profit. PG-13 horror is practically a riskless market, and thus, houses some of the most passionless, terrible, cash-grab films of their respective years. And it works.Truth or Dare, a movie with a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes and an even more dismal average audience reaction, grossed almost a hundred million dollars worldwide. A hundred million. Ouija, sporting an even lower 6% on RT, made over a hundred million. You'll find similar examples littered through the past decade: Slender Man, Wish Upon (what is it with Joey King and these movies?), The Lazarus Effect—it happens incessantly. As much as I want to fault these filmmakers for their unending heartless production, I understand where they're coming from. It's a profitable market.
