movie review

Movie reviews for horror fans; from gruesome bone-chillers to dark horror thrillers, a showcase for frightful films that seek to entertain and to terrify.

Cyber Scares
Since the turn of the decade, there has been an influx of social media-themed horror films—some decent, some outright awful—that were designed to take an internet-dependent audience and use that dependency against them in the pursuit of spooks.

Movie Review 'Devil's Path' Is a Throwback Drive in Thriller
Devil’s Path is the kind of old school, grind house, chase in the woods thriller Hollywood doesn’t know how to make anymore. A throwback to the bloody, drive in thrillers of the 1970s, Devil’s Path is a visceral and often disturbing thriller with exceptional characters and a killer pace. Actor turned first time director Matthew Montgomery directs Devil’s Path and delivers a stunner of a debut feature.

'Velvet Buzzsaw' Was a Buzzkill, and Here's Why
I was able to watch the Netflix Original movie, Velvet Buzzsaw, the other day. I’m going to say it up front: The trailer was appealing to me, enough to even watch it, but the whole movie was a disappointment. I give it one star out of 10, and here is why:

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Lords of Salem' (2012)
Jesus Christ, Rob. Was that real crack featured in this movie? I need to understand what the fuck you were on. Here's the thing. A lot of people complained about this movie being absolute trash. It did have its problems, but it wasn't half bad. Most of my complaints are in singular scenes that were poorly executed, but not the over all story or cinematography.

'Charismata' (2017)
Even if you never had to learn police work like the rest of us plebs,anybody with a TV knows that it takes three bodies to make a serial killer.You know what I’m saying, you’re just being pedantic.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Flatliners' (1990)
I just found out there was a remake of this amazing classic, and I've never reviewed the original, so I decided to rewatch it... again.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf' (2015)
Where do I begin on this silly mess of absolute nonsense? It comes down to the important question. Was this, intentional pile of dog shit, an entertaining pile of dog shit? Does a little kid hit the dog shit and slide across the lawn? Or does the pile of dog shit just sit there, till it get's hard, and turns white? Well, it was hit and miss. It was more like the little kid running around the yard, nearly missing the dog shit, keeping up the spectacle, because you know he's gonna step on it at some point, but when he did, it was kinda just a head nod.

'Happy Death Day 2U' Is a Well-Written Sci-Fi Slasher That Solves Many Mysteries from the First
Last night, in preparation for this movie, I watched the original Happy Death Day and I loved it. It got me pretty pumped to see the sequel, which I watched today.

Weird and Pissed Off Reviews: Two Duds and a Nostalgic Gem
Thanks to a persistent illness that refused to grant me comfort this week, it was a pretty light week for being in the right frame of mind to care about movies. I did sneak in a few, however, so don't get too worried!

'Incident in a Ghostland' (2018)
Jesus Christ.It’s Rob Zombie’s house. They came up with the following slogans for Hereditary, “The scariest film ever” and “A highlight in horror in the last 50 years." Well, I wonder what they would say about Incident in a Ghostland? I won’t say this is the most masterful horror of all time. And no, it’s not as frightening as The Exorcist. That one scared me to death in those days. Incident in a Ghostland uses the same concept as “The Seasoning House and I Spit on Your Grave. From the sexual abuse of innocent girls and the psychological damage these desperate victims suffer from—it’s not trembling and shaking all the time, but the whole movie you’ll have that uncomfortable feeling.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday' (1993)
Again, not sure why this installment of the Friday the 13th (F13) franchise was so universally hated on. In my review of Jason X (aka Jason in Space!) I mentioned fans of the franchise placed the original run on WAY too fucking high a pedestal. Five, in my opinion, is really the worst and it's more about what it wasn't than what it was.
