Legally blind, her night is not what she had in mind. Trespassed by three thieves who want the owners safe, Sophie’s only defense is the See For Me app.

The Top Zombie Films You Need to See
"White Zombie" (1932) (Gene pick) This film is significant for two huge reasons. One, it's the first time the word "zombie" is used in a film. Two, it's the inspiration for the name of Rob Zombie's original band, White Zombie. There's a good reason it inspired him, it's a surprisingly good film. Set in Haiti, Bela Lugosi plays Legendre, a voodoo master loosely associated with the owner of a local sugar plantation. When the plantation owner falls in love with a beautiful guest engaged to another man, he turns to Legendre to make her do what he wants. Legendre has been the secret of the owner's success before, since most of the plantation workers are in fact zombies.

The Blair Witch Project (1999)
The Blair Witch Project, as I remember when it first came out, all those many, many years ago when I was a Sophomore at BSU, was an endlessly-hyped "event" film allegedly based around the "found footage" of three disappeared college film students, Heather Donohue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael C. Williams--all of whom are still alive and well, and all of whom essentially play themselves in the picture.

The Top Werewolf Films You Need to See
"The Wolf Man" (1941) (Gene pick) The film that launched a franchise, and made Lon Chaney, Jr. a star, this is the iconic film most people think of if they think of a werewolf movie. Chaney plays Larry Talbot, a man who survives a werewolf attack, only to find himself turning into a werewolf himself when the moon is full. Talbot is a great everyman who hates that he becomes a monster that could hurt or kill anyone, including those he loves. Bela Lugosi and Maria Ospenskaya have small but key roles as gypsies who tell Talbot about his curse, and legendary actor Claude ("Casablanca") Rains plays Talbot's father, who must cure or stop his son.

The Top Vampire Movies You Need to See
Nosferatu (1922): Max Schreck, Alexander Granach, Gustav von Wangenheim (Gene pick) This film is iconic. Even if you've never seen it, you've probably seen clips from it, as they frequently show up in other films, or in montages of vampire films. It's an unauthorized adaption of "Dracula," which shows vampires as they were originally thought to be - horrific undead creatures that used to be human, that sort of remember being human, but clearly they are human no longer.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Bone Tomahawk' (2015)
Why was this considered horror? It was in the horror section. It was recommended to me as a horror movie. I was told it was a lot like The Burrowers (2008) which I loved for how dark it was. And yeah, this was pretty fucking dark, but it wasn't horror. It was basically the same movie as The 13th Warrior (1999) just with cowboys. Sure The 13th Warrior had a bit of a horror edge to it, but it was firmly action adventure and so was this. Hell, this was basically just an ultra-violent western like any other western. They just replaced the native Americans with something less offensive. I'm not even sure it worked. Bottom brass, it was still basically Native Americans. I'll talk a little more about this in the spoilers.

Reviewing Barbarian
Barbarian is the scariest movie in years. After seeing Barbarian, this will be hard to argue. It is a simple scenario involving a woman staying at an Airbnb. She soon discovers that the house she rented is not what it seems. Writer and Director Zach Cregger's newest installment into the horror genre has audiences cringing, screaming, and at times, hiding their eyes.

The Raven (1963)
Peter Lorre has a problem. An evil wizard, played by Boris Karloff, has turned him into a sleek, blackbird. Oh, he's still Peter Lorre, but, darn it! Vincent Price, of whom he was counting on having the correct magical formula to change him back into a man, just can't seem to get it right. Oh, his daddy seems to have all the correct magical ingredients hidden in his ancient laboratory, but, something goes wrong, and he just doesn't mix up a big enough batch! Thus, poor Lorre, whose life is tough enough for being a put-upon little fat man, is left walking around with two big black wings, occasionally dropping off feathers and lamenting his sorry luck.
