Reed Alexander's Horror Review of Alien: Covenant (2017)
So, in my review of Prometheus (2012), I mentioned that it was a terrible Alien (1979) origin story. It could have seriously been a good story all on its own, but it stepped into a franchise it had no business being a part of. Alien: Covenant (2017), was the origin story the franchise deserved. Sure, it had the same life-creating, spontaneously mutating, terraforming virus, but it honestly didn't even have to be directly linked to Prometheus. A scientific experiment, of alien origins, gone wrong, is already a great fucking plot. We didn't even need David from Prometheus to be a part of it, it could have been anything, including one of the "Navigator's" species biological research lab. You could have flat-out started from scratch and in no way linked it to Prometheus. Hell, they probably shouldn't have linked it to Prometheus, considering what a franchise letdown that turned out to be.

The Eyes
The narrator is rushing to get a job interview, but is startled by a knock on the door and finds no one on their stoop. They find a mismatched looking amulet with a large purple-green stone encased in gold and a torn-out notebook paper with a message: "Your gonne need this." They wrap the chain around their fingers and walk towards downtown, taking advantage of the cool autumn breeze.

The Real And Terrifying Injury Caused On The Set Of "The Exorcist"
The 1973 horror classic "The Exorcist," directed by William Friedkin, is renowned not only for its chilling storyline and groundbreaking special effects but also for the numerous eerie and harrowing incidents that occurred during its production. Among the most startling stories from the set is the injury sustained by Linda Blair, the young actress who played the possessed girl, Regan MacNeil. This injury, which occurred while filming one of the movie's most iconic scenes, left a lasting impact on Blair and contributed to the film's legacy of being plagued by misfortune.
