Movie Review: 'The Ritual'
The moment Netflix released The Ritual, a 2017 film directed by David Bruckner, back in February of this year, it quickly became acknowledged as one of the first good horror movies in 2018. Holding a 69 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, it's fair to say the movie has received mixed-to-pleasant reviews. I went into this movie not really knowing what it was about, but feeling that it was going to be tiredly similar to The Blair Witch Project. There is definitely no shortage of horror movies that follow a team of people trekking it through the woods, slowly being picked off one by one, and The Ritual is no exception. With deftly acted characters and an all too familiar narrative, what this movie relies on to make it unique and engrossing is stunning visuals, a gut-wrenching tale of guilt and redemption, and one of the most terrifying movie monsters we've seen in a while.

Why You Need to See 'Veronica'
Before I start, I wanted to warn whoever is reading this that there are spoilers in this post. When I first saw Veronica I was at a loss for words. I heard about the film from a former classmate. I trust my classmate’s opinion and taste of horror films, so I got right on it. Veronica was released August 2017 in Spain. It’s written by Paco Plaza and Fernando Navarro. Paca Plaza also directed the film. If you’re a fan of the horror genre then you’re familiar with Paco Plaza’s work (REC 1, 2, & 3). I’m going to be completely honest and tell you that this is not Plaza’s scariest film ever. However, the way the film makes you feel during and afterward, the way it’s shot, and the delivery of a very familiar plot is what makes this film a gem.

Through the Flames (Pt. 3)
Arthur lay there, pain still coursing through his body after trying to stand up. He looked around. It was too dark to make out any details, but he did know he was laying down on a thin bed roll; he felt the earth under him. He looked to his side and saw a cup next to him, he reached out, and grabbed it.

Most Underrated Horror Films from the 2000s. Top Story - March 2018.
Not many people love horror films simply because they're terrifying, and that's totally understandable. I personally love horror movies, because I actually enjoy being terrified by the unrealistic monsters and paranormal events as odd as it sounds. Yes, I'm weird that way, but I'm positive so many people can agree with me. And when it actually comes to horror films, us horror lovers are very passionate about the films. Many of us don't settle on a specific type of movie—we enjoy paranormal, slasher, and even monster horror movies.

The Last Shortcut
The sky above my head is grey but getting darker as the seconds fly past, the first few raindrops starting to fall hit the ground. I yank up the hood of my jacket, tucking my auburn, wavy hair behind my ears. I am not exactly dressed for a storm. Having just finished work I am dressed in black skinny jeans, black pumps, and a zip up jacket covering the hideous blue polo shirt my job at the supermarket requires me to wear.

Trapped
The days go by in a blur, they blend together like paint. One day its orange, but then the other day which is blue, blends in with the orange. Making it a different color and a different day, she doesn't realize I'm here. She goes through the days oblivious to my existence, before the darkness faded from her life she knew I was here. Ashlyn knew I was here because I protected her from the bad things. When the darkness was in her life, I had to protect her from it, she could only trust me, but then the light came. The light came to her in a blue suit and a badge; the light took her away from the darkness and into a brighter life. As the light grew, I began to fade away. Ashlyn forgot about me, stored me away in the back of her mind along with the other dark things. "Hey, Ash! Are you still coming to my party tonight?" The sound of her new light speaking causes me to stir.
