The 2020 Thriller ‘Alone’ Delivers on D&D “Dungeon Sense”
Impressions of the Film I waited two days after watching the film to decide how I felt about it. I decided, I really loved it. It was the sort of kidnapping survival story that walked an amazing line of maintaining the tension between a VERY limited cast of people, and still allowed the shots to speak for themselves of environment instead of dialogue to walk the audience through what is going to happen next.

The 2015 Horror Film ‘The Invitation’ Modernizes the Philosophies of Memento Mori
Impressions of the Film I've loved The Invitation (2015) since the first viewing and have gone back to rewatch it at leisure. But I wanted to take today to go over what meaning and discovery I find within this modern cautionary tale of death, grief, and how the desire to live is also how we all live with death at any moment. But to quote the RogerEbert.com 2016 review:

How Friday the 13th (1980) Isn’t Just a Slasher, It’s a Murder Mystery
Impressions of the Film I began to watch this film because I figured if anything, it'd be for the benefit of understanding all of the social references and influences that likely stemmed from this film. Grinning at myself as the tropes of sexually active teenagers are universally punished in a stabby-stabby bath of blood. Particularly for Baby-Face Kevin Bacon on screen.

Netflix’s The Old Ways Divides Everyone on Opinion
Impressions of the Film The first time I watched this film I did remember feeling like it was too slow of a plot for a horror flick. The development of the demonic possessions seemed to be outshone by multitudes of interpersonal conflict between this small cast of characters. The actual “Scare” scenes were few and far between. I raised an eyebrow and did a “pause-check” at about 60 minutes to see how much longer to go in the film. Not usually a good sign for a horror moviegoer when you’re not invested in “what will happen next.”

Is Last Night in Soho a Good Ghost Story?
First Impressions Of the Film Last Night in Soho is a beautifully filmed project with an impeccable music lineup and taste. It’s the sort of film made for 20-somethings who grumble about how they were born in the wrong era and long for the height of 40s, 50s, and 60s pop culture that they find pleasant to adapt into their own current life.

The Odd Controversy Around Mike Flanagan's 2016 Thriller Hush . Top Story - February 2022.
Impressions of the Film I really like Hush (2016). This is one of the few horror films I’ll watch on multiple occasions because I love the thriller/adventure aspect of this slasher film.

The Cohoke Train Tracks Ghost
I almost killed Brock. This memory still gets to me when I think about it to much. So hopefully writing it down will help. Back in college, I had a group of friends that would get together on the weekends for a few beers to hang out, shoot the wind, and talk about our week.
