Angela (Nathalie Boltt) was arrested after she’d set fire to a nursing home, a fire that killed 21 people. She would kill 26 people in all before being captured by Police. Carly has been haunted by her mother’s crimes for years, even after cutting off contact from her mother and changing her name.

Movie Review: Ugly and Insipid 'Don't Breathe 2' Didn't Need to Exist
Don’t Breathe 2 begins from the flawed premise that the serial murderer and rapist at the center of the first film can somehow be rehabbed into an anti-hero. Stephen Lang’s ‘The Blind Man’ murdered teenagers who simply wandered into the wrong house looking to steal something, yes, and then they stumbled into his rape room. To say as a filmmaker that you want to further explore this character but from the perspective of a hero is strange to say the least and misguided at best.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Phantasm IV' (1998)
Most of this movie takes place in flashbacks from the first one, or in cars on a dirt road. The rest takes place in the desert. Talk about filming on a budget. I feel like they didn't get a permit to shoot most of this. I chuckled to myself watching it, imagining the director shooting incognito on long desert roads in the middle of the night to avoid fines.

‘Don’t Breathe 2' Review—A Lifeless Failure
Hollywood has a consistent trend with horror movies. If a horror film ever achieves moderate commercial success, they will demand that it become a franchise of unnecessary sequels, spin-offs, and remakes. This is one of those sequels.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Stairs' (2021)
A pretty solid piece of weird horror. Now, I tend to grade of a bit of a curve when it comes to independent horror movies, but I really didn't have to here. This little slice of weird stands well on its own. The acting was good for horror. We're not talking Academy Award winning performances, but still pretty solid. There was a little bit of ham, a few moments that registered as awkward, but hey, it's horror. Even the child acter did okay. The cast did a fine job and that's all that matters.

The Conjuring
James From "Saw" to "Tricky," independent ghastliness movie producer James Wan's movies have consistently been fierce in their sincere showing off.
