Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Under The Skin' (2013)
SPOILERS!!! And what do we know about my reviews if they start with spoilers? They're usually about shitty movies... Why does this feel like a revenge rape porn? This is essentially about some strange alien entity that lures men to their death. So, it's basically a ton of scenes with the hot alien chick leading men to their death. Then finally, when she decides she wants to experiment with actually being human, she gets raped and murdered. It's like the director or the writer thinks every woman is essentially out to rob men of their life, and really they deserve the bad shit that happens to them. That seems to be the fucking moral of this flaming dumpster fire of a movie. The alien chick "deserves" her fate because that's what she was doing to men all along.

Remaking My Childhood (Pt. 2)
In my last chapter of this series (the only one written so far), I compared the novel and 1989 movie to the information given about the remake. Well, April 5th came and went and we were told an old tale with a new twist.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Bye Bye Man' (2017)
I have to admit, I was shocked to see a "Not Slenderman" movie produced by someone other than Gravitas. But Jesus fuck! How the hell did they land Carrie-Anne Moss?! Come'on Carrie, you're better than this garbage!

'Hush'—A Movie Review
A lot goes on in the mind of a writer. Your story just may turn into something you never expected like Maddie Young’s evening.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Silence' (2019)
When I read the description on Netflix, my first impression was, "How the fuck did they not get sued?!" By reading the description alone, you know this is a blatant ripoff of A Quite Place. But you know what? That's okay. A Quiet Place had some issues that needed to be addressed, so if these assholes think they can do better, be my guest.But when the movie started, it became blatantly obvious that all of the problems with A Quiet Place were not being addressed and, in fact, they were layering on new problems.

What Keeps You Alive (2018)
She fell off a cliff.911, my wife, she fell off a cliff.Oh, my God! Please help me. Some marriages fail because married people come to realize that their interests are different, or because there are too many contradictions that lead to endless quarrels. It hurts when you are going through a divorce. And some divorces turn out to be ugly. The only thing you can say is that, under normal circumstances, both individuals pick up their lives, and try to find happiness again. Things are completely different for Jules (Brittany Allen) and Jackie (Hannah Emily Anderson). For one of them, divorcing is a hobby. And the divorce happens in a very abrupt and deadly way. The comparison with a black widow is easily made. And the reason is rather lucrative.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Thing' (2011)
My fans may remember from an earlier review that I found John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) to be one of the greatest all time classics. So, when I heard they were doing a new movie back in 2011, I fanboyed harder than that socially awkward fellow you always see first in line at Star Wars openings. I fanboyed harder than a basement dwelling, mouth breather, Incel, stalking his favorite porn star. I was the living embodiment of Frye from Futurama's "Shut Up And Take My Money" meme.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Butterfly Kisses' (2019)
Can we talk about how fucking funny it is, that this is a fake documentary about a fake documentary? I fucking love the fact that they layered it like that. Also, props on the head nod to the original The Blare Witch Project, even including a cameo from director Edwardo Sanchez. I was impressed with how they stayed focally self-aware of what they were spoofing. I don't know how well everyone remembers the marketing campaign of The Blair Witch Project, but they tried to convince the public that a student film, sold to a movie studio, was actually real found footage. It was sort of before the internet was a real big thing. There was no Facebook, or viral marketing. Myspace hadn't been around for very long. The movie was completely sold by hiding the fact that the 'found footage' of The Blair Witch Project was a fake documentary. So the way this is presented is actually quite brilliant.

A 'Chucky' Movie That's Artistic?
There have been a lot of great movies and television shows I have seen through my youth and the rest of my teenage life. There are many different genres I enjoy, but for some reason, I mostly enjoy the recent seventh horror Child’s Play movie in straight to DVD film, The Cult of Chucky.

'The Silence' - A Review (Netflix)
How did Stanley Tucci end up in this? He needs to speak to his agent. Not that the rest of the cast cannot act, they undoubtedly can. John Corbett—a name not as well known as Tucci’s, but an actor whose face you will know—has appeared in far better fare than this, and also should be speaking to his agent.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Pet Sematary' (2019)
Jesus fucking Christ, Jete' Laurence is fucking creepy. Can we take a minute to appreciate, that at no point, did she fuck this role up with a Silent Hill moment? That speaks volumes for her talent as a little actress. Hope she carries it.
