Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Doom' (2005)
You know what? I'll fucking say it. Doom wasn't that bad. It was kind of silly at times, definitely had fuck all to do with the video game, and certainly was trying to rip off Aliens, but it was fun. Isn't that all that matters? That the movie is fun?

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Apartment 143' (2011)
*Sigh* You know what's wrong with shaky camera movies? They're lazy. They're trying to make up for a lack of real atmosphere with shitty video and cheap action shots by waving the camera around. It didn't work with The Taking of Deborah Logan, it didn't work with Paranormal Activity, it didn't even work here. It's just bad filming, not a real use of the medium.

How Not to Kill a Woman
Part 1: Working Myself to Death (and Other Puns) Do you hate your job? Do you hate Mondays? Do you want to escape and find a job that you actually enjoy? Go. Do it. I envy you. There is no escape for me. Every day, I come into the office, see my co-workers, try to ignore them because they are all idiots and get to my desk. I am given a list of clients, and then I, well, go do my job. What is that job, I hear you ask. The official title: Mortality Exterminator. I kill people. Don’t think for a second I enjoy it, not like my colleagues. See, each colleague has their own department, and by "department," I mean the method of killing. Mine is suicide. Everyone calls me Su. Welcome to Death Incorporated, UK branch.

Jonny Depp Is Michael Jackson?
I was in my mid to late teens when Michael Jackson died. I knew he was famous. But I didn’t know why or who he was. It was just a normal day for me—aside from my co-workers, many of whom were very sad to hear the news. At the time I was on a Johnny Depp kick. Appreciating his works such as The Secret Window, and Benny and Joon—a strange mix of movie genres.

Anti's Maze
Prologue: Title Screen As he kept walking through the darkness, Sean could hear music start to play. He followed it, the electronic beeps and buzzes leading him to something hanging in the air; a small red button with a note with messy handwriting: "Press to Start." Curiosity kicked in as his finger hovered over it. He heard a small voice in the back of his head, urging him, tempting him. He couldn't resist any longer. Once pressed, the button dissolved into pixels. From under it, a fountain of coloured squares spilt out, colouring the floor grey. The fountain burst upwards and a screen began to form.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Viral' (2016)
Why the fuck is this movie called Viral? I mean, they tell you right off the bat that it's about parasites. They explain it right in the description. There's a whole damn exposé about parasites in the beginning of the damn movie. So why the fuck is it called Viral? Do they not know the difference between a parasite and a virus? I mean, even a single-celled parasite is different than a virus, let alone the multi-celled organisms in this movie. You could have called it "Infection" and you would have been closer than Viral.

Review of 'Bird Box'
I'm not usually a fan of post-apocalyptic horror -- I even gave up on The Walking Dead last year - but Bird Box on Netflix is something else. That is, it's post-apocalyptic horror alright, but done with such sensitivity and style as to be in a class by itself. It also doesn't hurt to see top talent like Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich on the screen, along with newer talent like Trevante Rhodes who does a fine job, too.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' (2016)
I'm just gonna flat out say it. This is now on my list of :Must Watch." I don't care what's in your queue before this movie, watch this instead. Not only is this now on my must watch list with things like Yellowbrickroad and Digging Up the Marrow, it's also on my top five favorite list. In order: Alien, The Thing (1982), The Thing (2011), Autopsy of Jane Doe, Dawn of the Dead (2004)—I haven't see Hereditary or Suspiria (2018), but I'm told they might fight for the top five spot.

Orphan
If you don't want any movie spoilers, do NOT read this. WOW! I was TERRIFIED to watch this movie. The cover photo makes it look like it's going to be an eerie bloodbath or some kind of horror movie. The dark lighting on her face and her expression really summarize the fear you should feel from this little girl Esther. I am not a fan of horror movies, but this movie was not one! Thankfully. I wanted to watch more of Vera Farmiga's work after watching Bates Motel. I am OBSESSED with her. So after finally building up the courage to watch it, I was mind blown by this story. I was so intrigued and had so many more questions because the character of Esther as a villain is so unique.

Nightmare
It was a beautiful fall day. Cool temps with a slight breeze that played with your hair, lots and lots of sun, A perfect day. A day Amber King would normally be singing some sappy song, while doing her errands.
