My Review of "Get Out"
I had thought I had written a review for Get Out a while back but then I realized that I didn't start writing reviews until 2018. This movie came out in 2017. When I first saw this movie I was dumbfounded by the brilliance of how Jordan Peele had married race relations and horror. Not only did he do this but he did it in the most unexpected manner.

'Gretel and Hansel' Review—Dreadfully Pretentious
After having to suffer through nightmarishly bad January movies such as The Turning and Dolittle, I thought it was over. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and I believed my days of torture would soon be over; but before my release, I had to endure one more horror movie.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Suspiria' (2018)
My fucking god... where do I even begin? What an absolutely stunning movie. Everything from the dance choreography to the setting, to the story. There was only a solitary moment that was out of place and I'm really pulling hairs to be critical of even that!

'The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson' Movie Review
Inspired by the infamous true crime, The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson depicts the last several days in the life of Nicole Brown (Mena Suvari), ex-wife of O.J. Simpson (Gene Freeman). We get to see her interactions with friends Kris Jenner (Agnes Bruckner), Faye Resnick (Taryn Manning), and, of course, Ron Goldman (Drew Roy). Nicole also befriends a man named Glen (Nick Stahl), but he may not be exactly the man she thinks he is.

‘Color Out of Space’ Movie Review
Director Richard Stanley’s Color Out of Space, based on H.P. Lovecraft’s short story of the same name, is the story of the Gardner family: Nathan (Nicolas Cage), his wife, Theresa (Joely Richardson), daughter Lavinia (Madeleine Arthur), older son Benny (Brendan Meyer), and younger son Jack (Julian Hilliard). Nathan moves his family out to the backwoods of Massachusetts, where they grow vegetables and raise alpacas. One night, a strange meteorite lands in their yard, exuding a strange neon aura. Over time, the energy from the meteorite begins to “infect” everything; the crops taste bitter, the alpacas get sick, strange blotches start appearing on their skin, time becomes indeterminable, and things only get worse from there.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Suspiria' (1977)
It's like a right of god damn passage for a horror critic to review this movie, and since the remake, I knew at some point I'd have to bite the bullet and get it over with. I'd seen it a long damn time ago and remembered it fondly. Though, I never did understand how Suspiria became a critics choice for seriously every fucking critic in the horror industry. Don't get me wrong, its good. Damn good. And for 1977, WAY the fuck ahead of it's time.

'The Turning' Review—Utterly Terrible
Life has many mysteries; to this day, many of us don't know the answers to questions such as who killed JFK? What's in Area 51? And most of all, who was the ninth president of the United States? Because I know for a fact that you have no idea who it was.

Deadcon - review (Netflix)
It is twenty-twenty and a new decade. My reviewing output has slowed of late due to a few factors; working a lot more. Christmas. Not visiting the cinema that much and, considering I generally review Netflix output, a paucity of anything that I found remotely interesting over the festive period on the streaming service.

The Grudge (2020) Review
The Grudge (2020) is a far cry from the 2002 movie, and an even farther cry from the Japanese legend that started the whole franchise. The pacing is messy, the characters are forgettable, the suspension is purchased with cheap jump scares and stereotypical "scary movie music". When it comes to good examples of scary movies, this movie is positively amazing. It's an amazing example of how to not make a good horror movie. It has all the classic stereotypes of bad horror movies: characters that have no intelligence, that are naïve, characters that are deemed crazy and yet not helped but rather abandoned, jump scares, messy story telling, and horrible cinematography. I could ramble on and on about how bad this movie was in general, but it would be better to speak in specifics.

Movie Review: 'Get Gone'
Get Gone features modern horror icon Lin Shaye as the matriarch of a family of murderers. Mama, as Shaye's character is called, once found herself visiting the woods and deciding to stay after meeting a Fish and Game Ranger named Don Maxwell (Robert Miano). It's vaguely implied that Mama was kidnapped but the movie doesn't linger on this point.
