"Watcher" Review
He’s a 10 but he doesn’t believe you when you tell him you’re being stalked. This is the protagonist Julia’s predicament in psychological thriller Watcher. Writer/Director Chloe Okuno delivers a masterclass in tension as she builds up your fear and makes you question everything you see. With incredible acting, an eerie narrative, and an overall impressive quality, this film has me closing all of my curtains at night.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Crimes of the Future' (2022)
This was not a horror movie. This was a fucking Nine Inch Nails' music video. This was also everything Panos Cosmatos wishes he could create. Now, if we're doing Cronenberg, we know damn good and well shit is about to get weird. But like all artistic masturbation, are we really connecting, are we hitting the mark, or are we just jerking ourselves off? You know, this movie even made a point to ask that ironically, which I think is the brilliance of Cronenberg. Sure he has something to say, but he's also just as willing to admit he's jerking himself off.

Ana Philaxis & The Chokers #1
The stench of cigarettes always reminded her of the best nights she'd been out and about. That and the smell of charcoal grills. You knew it was going to be a good time when you smell that. Smells like a night of debauchery and promise.

The Arrival of the Welder Gheist
Today started out pretty weird and only got weirder. We'd been out of the woods for about a week, my legs finally feeling less wobbly, and I was set to putting everything back to rights. Having been gone about three days, the dust had taken over again, and the house needed to be aired out. Grandpa had helped with the cleaning as much as he could, and now the house is back to its usual presentable state.

Use the Back Door
When I was a kid, it was standard practice to always use the back door. The front door was for visitors. The only time a child used the front door was if an adult accompanied them. Well, I’m an adult, so why are my instructions telling me to enter through the back door?

A Birthday Omen
About 14 percent of people die on their birthday. That's a pretty staggering statistic for an occasion that is meant to be celebratory. The phenomenon has got a name, it's called the 'birthday effect'. But, what accounts for such a significant uptick in deaths? A quick search will reveal that for both men and women, the cause is different. For women, it's heart attack and stroke. But for men, it's suicide and accidents.

Fever Dream
I looked at the ad, unsure if my fever-addled brain was reading it right. "Wanted: Someone to infect me with the Covid 19 virus. Must be verified as sick, have paperwork verifying illness no older than two days from today's date, and be willing to allow me to spend time near you. Will pay five hundred dollars for eight hours in your company, contraction of virus notwithstanding. Please email me at," and their email address followed.
