"The Mysterious Package: A Twin's Reunion"
It was a typical Wednesday evening when I heard the familiar hum of a drone flying overhead. I stepped outside to see a small, sleek machine lowering a package onto my front porch before quickly flying off into the distance. I couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue and excitement as I walked over to inspect the package. It was wrapped in plain brown paper, with no return address or any indication of who it could be from.

The Haunting of the Old Dormitory
Introduction The old dormitory on the outskirts of the university campus had always been a source of fascination and fear among the students. Built in the early 1900s, the building had a dark and foreboding appearance, with boarded-up windows and a crumbling facade. Despite its dilapidated state, the dormitory had never been torn down, and rumors persisted that it was haunted by the spirits of former students who had met tragic ends within its walls.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Drag Me To Hell' (2009)
I think what makes this movie so brilliant is how brutally unfair it is. I've mentioned this before in early reviews, it's hard to take the horror seriously if you're rooting for the killer to win. In order to really drive horror home, you have to make the viewer empathize with the victims. That's what really makes something terrifying, being able to step into the shoes of the horror victim. And here's the thing, this movie is kinda silly. So, imagine a movie that's kinda silly but with characters so well developed and easy to sympathize with that it's still good horror. I mean, the plot is what really drives it home. Imagine if an absolute Karen was given the ability to send people straight to hell. Scarry, right? I mean, if we really go over it, Alison Lohman's character really didn't do anything wrong. Yeah, it's never fun to be the other person on the end of evicting someone out of their home, but as she said, her boss really has the final call. Sure, the guy tries to absolve himself by telling her she has the last say, but so did Paunchous Pilot when he "Washed his hands" of the execution of Jesus. Her boss knew he was dangling her whole life over her head and through that was clearly using coercion to get the answer he wanted. Seriously, only an absolute Karen would blame the employee and not the Boss. You imagine if someone that self-righteous was able to just pick who goes to hell? Frightening shit right there.
