Reed Alexander's Horror Review of "Midsommar" (2019)
Jesus fucking Christ. I haven't seen a movie go for broke on the whole "asshole boyfriend" trope since White Settlers (2014). At least that asshole showed some growth. This prick doubled down at every moment of the movie. He goes from gaslighting his girlfriend Dani (played by Florence Pugh), to stringing along their relationship rather than dumping her, to using Dani's sister's suicide as a weapon, to being completely unsupportive as a boyfriend, to stealing a thesis from someone who is supposed to be a friend, to eye-fucking ever woman in sight. The list goes on and fucking on. GOD! How hard do you have to drive home the guy being an asshole?

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Camp Dread' (2014)
I love the basic concept of this movie. It's like Don't Fuck In The Woods, with a myriad of strung together, fan favorite, tropes. It shows you the people making this movie were fans before they were writers and directors. Actually, a lot of the set up reminds me of Cabin in the Woods, except more of a spoof and as a reality TV show instead of an Illuminati conspiracy.

The nun, conjuring and Annabelle movie timeline
These movies are connected and have at least one other movie in the universe. The main thing connecting the movies together is the Warrens. Also some of the spirits make an appearance in multiple films in the universe of the conjuring. I will also point out things you may not have known or noticed.

Jen Reacts: Sinister I & II
I'll start off in media res. I watched Sinister last night and am about to pop on its sequel, Sinister II. And, I'll be quite honest, I don't have high expectations. I refrained from watching the first one when it came out because there was so much bloody hype around it.

The Girl on The 3rd Floor
When I first turned on The Girl on the 3rd Floor I was slightly confused. To be honest I scanned/half read the synopsis and just threw it on since I didn’t see anything else that caught my eye on Netflix at the time. The film as a whole has a very weird tone. It’s bland yet bright, a little dull yet still interesting. It’s a little difficult to explain if I’m being honest but I will definitely try my best. However, before I get into the details of the story and the plot, let me breakdown some cast, crew, and setting info of this weird yet bizarre horror film.

EDITORIAL: Why Lucio Fulci's Gates of Hell Trilogy Rocks
Often referred to as the "Italian godfather of gore" by fans, cult director Lucio Fulci is one of the most beloved horror filmmakers of all time. While he has dabbled in other genres, including westerns, comedies, and even a couple of kids' movies, it is his horror films that made him a legend. While I would consider 1979's Zombie to be his masterpiece, his Gates of Hell trilogy is very much worth examining. Despite not being quite as controversial as Don't Torture a Duckling or The New York Ripper, Fulci's reputation as a purveyor of nastiness is still quite evident in these films. All three of them involve, of course, some sort of property being constructed on one of the supposed gateways into Hell (a sort of spin on the “Indian burial ground” trope). Obviously, this leads to the residents of said area to be endangered. While none of the three films are connected by shared stories or characters, the thematic connection(s) has led them to be deemed a trilogy of sorts. All three were directed by Fulci and co-written by himself and Dardano Sacchetti (among some additional writers). All three films also happened to star actress Catriona MacColl, albeit as three entirely different characters.

The Invisible Man - Review
The fantastic horror movie Invisible Man is an amazing piece of work. The picture does not repeat the plot of the work of Herbert Wells, even though there is an invention in the film, thanks to which the body goes into an invisible state. Here, modern scientific development is used with a cynical purpose - to pursue and punish a victim who believes that she managed to escape from the offender.
