The Best Haunted House Movies of All Time
If there's one branch of the horror genre that will never get old, it's haunted house movies. I mean, really, is there anything more terrifying than the thought of being tormented by invisible forces in your own home?

'Within': Review and Aftermath
This article will contain spoilers; turn back now before continuing. I have seen my fair share of horror movies. It's the only genre I'm ever in the mood to watch. My personal favorite is paranormal; slashers are unpredictable and terrifying, but nothing freaks me out more than something that we are not capable of seeing.

A Short Review of 'Slenderman' (2018, Sylvain White)
7 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, 3/10 on IMDB, 29 percent on Metacritic, what the hell did I get myself into!? As well as bad reviews, this film has received controversy and even a petition to stop its production, because of the characters association with a number of crimes that were committed in the U.S. following its popularity, with accusations that the project was trying to cash in off real life.

It's a Ghost Thing, You Wouldn't Understand – Review of 'The Screen at Kamchanod'
Without giving away huge spoilers, the plot of The Screen at Kamchanod is like this: In 1987, four movie screeners were hired to show in a movie in the Kamchanod forest in Thailand. No one showed up to watch the strange film until near the end, when people came out of the forest and oddly walked up the screen. It's said that they disappeared.

A Short Review of 'Secret of the Marrowbone' (2018, Sergio G. Sanchez)
Secret of the Marrowbone really fell short for me. Actually no, not short, not short at all. More like fell into a massive hole that lay before me in the middle of the Grand Canyon. Yes dear readers, that much of a disappointment. The film admittedly still has some merit and is a capable psychological thriller/drama but unfortunately something did seriously just slightly spoil it for me. There are two twists. I'll try not to mention specifics in case any of you wish to see it, although why you'd wish to see it after reading this review would be slightly baffling. One of these twists, the main one that occurs at the end, was well executed and brings everything together nicely and fully complimented the plot, even though it did get slightly predictable towards the end. The other for me was too far fetched and knocked the story off balance. Completely off balance.

Best Slasher Movies of All Time
Maybe there's something a little weird about really liking to watch people get hacked to bits on a big screen, but there's no denying the appeal of slasher movies. The success of the genre speaks for itself. The excitement, the fear, the pure evil of the thing... there's just nothing quite like sitting down with a bowl of popcorn and watching a bloodbath unfold (although if you're like me, that bowl of popcorn might end up hiding under a blanket with you).

'The Strangers: Prey at Night'
I just finished watching The Strangers, starring Liv Tyler, on Netflix. My first and only time watching it was ten years ago. Back then, I had given it kind of low marks and hadn't seen it since. When I re-watched it, I still got the same feeling that it was too much of a classy, adult version of The Charles Manson Family taking over at Camp Crystal Lake on Friday the 13th. I've always been a huge Jason fan and in my opinion, Jason Voorhees and his mom would have run through them and taken the Camp back, of course! The Strangers leaves me with too many unanswered questions, at the end especially. I feel other horror films at least TRY to give clues away! I never got that "AHA" moment, there was no carrot dangling, and no "There's going to be a sequel" when it ended, so finding there was a sequel was a pleasant surprise for me.
