Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Daniel Isn't Real' (2019)
On the surface of this movie is a pretty solid story about mental illness, having to live through being raised by someone with mental illness, and discovering you may have inherited that mental illness. I talked about this in my review of They Look Like People (2015). From the inside of the mind of mental illness, the world is already a horror story. There is already plenty of heartache having to watch someone go through that, only to discover you might have inherited it.

"The Odds"
The usual trope of “this torture is part of a game” is not a new concept in film. Rarely is the concept centered around voluntary participation, though. “The Odds” revives this concept in a sexy, creepy, unnerving way. Starring James Fuertes (“The Bachelorette” Season 12) as the enigmatic Game Master & Abbi Butler, known only in the movie as “Player”, the two begin a strange game with the ultimate goal being one million dollars.

6 Christmas horror films to scare you into the holiday spirit. Top Story - December 2020.
Every year Christmas comes and goes with the same holiday-themed films getting all the glory while so many less traditional yuletide motion pictures go under-appreciated. Tales like A Christmas Story and A Christmas Carol are all well and good, but sometimes people want to escape all of the cheer and seasonal spirit for some good old fashioned horror.

Don't Look Back (2020) Review
If you loved the "destiny eventually comes for us all" approach of the Final Destination franchise, then the chances are pretty good you'll like Don't Look Back, and with good reason. (Jeffrey Reddick, the illustrious writer of the now-iconic Destination films, also wrote and directed Don't Look Back.) The tagline "karma comes for us all" promises a similar ride, but does it deliver? And is this horror film covering ground that's perhaps too familiar to make it worth seeing in the first place?

Film Review: The Shed
If you like creature features with a twist, 2019’s The Shed may well be on your radar already. Directed by Frank Sabatella (The House That Cried Blood), it stars Jay Jay Warren, Cody Kostro, Frank Whaley (Cold Moon, Vacancy), and Timothy Bottoms (Vampire Bats), among others. It’s part vampire movie and part dysfunctional family story – an interesting combination to be sure. It also attempts to mix horror and gore with a touch of comedy.
