Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Boarderlands' (2013). Content Warning.
Can I just start off by saying the Shakey Camera style of filming was completely un-fucking-necessary? Imagine the money they wasted on crappy webcams and headsets when they could have just had one or two cameras shooting the whole film. And there were basically no other FX outside of the cinematography so why did they need it? Are filters and lighting honestly so expensive that an indie film would rather burn money on a gimmick? In my review of Alien Abduction (2014), I explain when Shakey Camera is appropriate and in my review of The Taking of Debora Logan (2014) (TDL), I explain when it's not. It boils down to this. Was it necessary because you couldn't afford to make the practical FX look good, or was it necessary because you had no talent for creating atmosphere? In this case, how hard would it be to make such a beautiful set look good with filters and lighting? Again, there were really no practical FX to hide with the Shakey Camera so why go that rout?

THE HAGWITCH of COTTER'S FOREST
I suppose I am writing this as a confession, though it’s the same thing I told everyone back then. No one believed me thirty years ago, so I don’t expect anyone to believe me now, but I don’t care. There’s a sense of release and relief in telling this story one final time before I do what needs to be done.

The Unsettling Antiques
part1 : In the quiet town of Hollow Creek, where whispers of the supernatural lingered in the crisp night air, Emily found herself drawn to an old antique shop tucked away on the outskirts. The shop's creaking door and dimly lit interior hinted at mysteries waiting to unfold.

Whispers in the Shadows
Whispers in the Shadows In the small, forgotten town of Ravenswood, a dense fog clung to the streets, shrouding the buildings in an eerie silence. The townsfolk, long accustomed to a life in the shadows, went about their business with a sense of unease. However, a far more sinister force lurked in the darkness.

The Interstice
Four years ago, my brother was taken from me. Right in front of me. I still remember that very day. ~~~~o0o0o0o0~~~~ It was cold, just entering the end of autumn. We were both just walking together, sharing each other’s company while walking our dogs. We were silent. I don’t know what he was thinking about, but I was envisioning drinking green apple cider, eating cheese-flavored popcorn, and watching a horror movie.

The Unseen Santa
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. Little did the Thompson family know that this Christmas Eve would be unlike any other.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'It' (1990)
Let me start off by saying that there is a lot about this movie that might disappoint a modern viewer who had never seen it before. It's campy, the production quality is actually pretty low, the acting honestly isn't that great. Frankly, we have to be honest that those of us who love this movie, are really riding a lot of nostalgia. That's why we ended up with It (2017) and It Chapter 2 (2019).
