'Happy Death Day 2U'
As this film began, I felt an overwhelming sense of relatability to the main characters; this is because, just as they were experiencing the same day over and over again, I felt as if I was watching a film that I had seen 100 times before. This isn't an offhand remark about this film being too similar to its predecessor as I haven't ever seen the first film and after seeing its sequel, I don't plan to.

'Hereditary' (2018)
If you could have just said, “I’m sorry,” or faced up to what happened.Maybe then we could do something with this.But you can’t take responsibility for anything!So now I can’t accept… And I can’t forgive because…Because nobody admits anything they’ve done!

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Ghost Team' (2016)
I'll be blunt. This movie was wholly predictable. But, in this case that's okay. You shouldn't be expecting any twists in this lovable little horror comedy. The movie was disappointingly not as violent as I was expecting. It wore the badge "Unrated" on Netflix, but there are two types of unrated films. Films so shocking, the producers knew they couldn't get them past the ratings people. And films were they ran out of money and could pay for the ratings people. Unfortunately, this was the latter. The "Unrated" badge here is just a clever way to make the movie more enticing. I'd put it at about PG-13 with a little too much swearing to keep that rating.

My Review of 'Velvet Buzzsaw'
Velvet Buzzsaw is a Netflix exclusive that stars a whole slew of Hollywood stars. It's an interesting take on the horror genre that's original, but I'm worried that it may be catering to specific tastes. It might not appeal to the general public.

Old Horrors
Horror movies have long relied on the ordinary-gone-bad scenario to scare you. Childhood playthings create havoc in movies like Demonic Toys and the Chucky series. Household pets like Cujo go on rampages. Even houses themselves turn on people, crushing them in two with their gates and boiling them in showers like the one in This House Possessed. Movie makers know that audiences can identify with the story, and thus be more frightened if they own the object in question. "Hey, I have a doll like that," you might think. And your next thought is, "Uh oh."

'Boar' (2017)
Either I’m pissed off my chest mate,or that’s the biggest fucking boar I’ve ever seen. In 1955 we had a giant octopus in “It came from beneath the Sea” and last year we had the giant shark in The Meg. And in between, we were treated to a manifold collection of giant animals. There were also enormous ants (Empire of the Ants from 1977), a big ass spider (Big Ass Spider from 2013), a giant snake (Anaconda from 1997), a monkey (King Kong from 1976), a crocodile (Rogue from 2008), cockroaches (Bug from 1975) and wasps (Stung from 2015). And after doing some research you’ll notice there are more films about huge animals. Perhaps the makers of this film thought they had something original when they came up with a whopper from a wild boar. And to be honest, I thought so too. Turns out there are other movies with a frenzy boar, such as Razorback, Pig Hunt, and Chaw.

‘Pet Sematary’ Trailer #2 Review: Sometimes Dead Is Better
Welcome, Horror fans! The second trailer of Pet Sematary has just dropped and I’m really excited. I love horror movies. Obviously, Pet Sematary is one of the scariest movies of all-time. Personally, I can’t watch this movie alone and it just creeps me out (laughs).
