Sympathy
“Please understand that this is my punishment, not just yours,” Satan said. Chris just stared at him, metaphorically. Everything he was or did appeared to be metaphor since he died, as he had no actual substance. Just a damned soul, existing in some sort of otherness without form. But still, this interaction was somehow happening. He was hearing Satan and he was responding with a blank stare, even if he had no ears to hear or eyes to glaze over. But he was sure whatever he had, they were glazed over.

The 10 Best Slasher Video Games You Can Get in 2018
When it comes to slasher games, there are two basic schools of thought: they're the best video games in the history of video games, or, for lack of a better term, they absolutely stink on ice (sorry for the first grade vernacular). In reality, there is not much of an in-between, mostly because of the, uhh, gruesome nature of the content. You either like them or you don't.

'Bird Box:' Possibly One of the Best Post-Apocalyptic Thrillers Since 'A Quiet Place'
Bird Box is a Netflix original movie that premiered on December 21, 2018 and is a sci-fi apocalyptic thriller that will invite you into a chaotic world from the offset. Masterfully lead by hailed Danish director Susanne Bier (The Night Manager) and penned by famed script writer Eric Heisserer (Arrival). Firstly, we're met with Mallory Hayes, the main protagonist/survivor played by Sandra Bullock, who stares at the camera almost daring you to look away as she delivers a stark warning about obeying her authority absolutely without question, to two adorable little five-year-olds who travel with her. They are both named 'boy' and 'girl' to give you a hint that society has long since broken down, even to the point where names are obsolete, and a luxury for a world that was before.

666 (Ch. 1). Top Story - December 2018.
The first story from my horror collection. I wrote this book four years ago. I tried to treat each short story as a novel in its own right; to make sure that the characters were believable, and not just two dimensional caricatures.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Black Mountain Side' (2014)
This was a damn good movie. It's definitely not for everyone. I'm not sure what kind of crowd this would appeal to but it hit all my buttons. It was just such an intelligent movie. The characters, step by step, logically addressed the illogical. It's based on Lovecraft's "The Mountains of Madness." It doesn't follow the actual story of H. P. Lovecraft, but rather supposes what happened before "The Mountains of Madness" kicks off.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Apostle' (2018)
I was initially hoping this was going to be a little more like The Wicker Man, as a sort of period piece. It wasn't but I was not disappointed. If you're a fan of my horror reviews, you may remember my scathing review of VVitch.The good things I have to say about VVitch I can parrot here. Stunning visuals, hopelessly dark, anachronistically spectacular. I'm a fan of period pieces and really appreciate any effort. They did trip up a couple times. for instance, while wick lighters existed, Zippo style clasp lighters didn't exist for another 25 years. You could also tell that the shells they used in the guns were plastic, while they would have either been brass or paper shells. So VVitch gets the award for superior anachronisms, but as a movie still sucked.Apostle was actually quite good. There where of course a few things that bothered the shit out of me. Such as the over arching plot essentially being just another tired ass "damsel in distress" movie. They did "spoon feed the villains" a bit. The ending didn't make a ton of sense, or, it simply not how I would chose to end it. But the acting was fantastic. It was good for Hollywood, which is of course rare. The atmosphere was dark, drab, and depressing, in the sense that it was both morbidly dark and shot with very little light. In my review of VVitch I explained how this made the sens of hopelessness consuming, but also forced you to watch it in the dark which just drove the atmosphere home. Finally, regardless of its faults, the plot was at least well written and held interesting new mythos to explore.
