Reed Alexander's Review of 'Don't Blink' (2014)
This movie was... okay. I wanted a little more from it and at times, the pacing dragged a bit. But the premise was good, the atmosphere spot on, and the acting pretty solid for horror. Not saying it was stellar, but better than most horror acting, at least.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'Infini' (2015)
Yeah, this was a pretty fucking awesome movie. Not sure if I'd call it horror, but it was an awesome movie. My biggest problem is they kinda pussied out on the ending. Okay, no they totally pussied out on the ending... I'll get into more details about that in the spoilers, but, for the most part, the movie itself was pretty fucking good.

Reed Alexander's Review of "Popcorn (1991)."
Yeah, this was a fun movie. It was DUMB. I mean D. U. M. B. It was hammy as all hell and just plain silly as fuck. But I was just recently talking about the movie "Leprechaun" with some friends, and as I explained... that's kinda the fucking point! This is good-bad done right. You got the sense that the people making this movie had a lot of fun. It shown through with each scene and a lot of their dialogue. The plot itself was even kinda meta and also a lot of fun. I mean, a slasher at a horror grind house triple feature? C'mon, they knew this was going to be fun.

Reed Alexander's Review of "The Brood (1979)"
Like a lot of movies from my childhood, I remember this one being a lot more fun than it actually was. I remember the little children critters being a lot grosser, I remember the movie being a lot more violent, frankly I remember it being a lot more Cronenberg. But of course I was... 8, 9, when I saw this movie for the first time and my childhood imagination must have embellished a bit.

Reed Alexander's Review of "Rubber (2010)"
SPOILERS!!! THIS cinematic masterpiece is a meta introspective view on our sullen lives as the audience whom craves a release from our daily routine. A primordial beckoning, if you will, towards a greater purpose through the art we wish to consume. “Rubber” is nothing less than a true reflection of our dull lives from which we long to break free.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'Last Days On Mars' (2013)
SABER-TOOTH IN SPACE!... well, on Mars. To be honest, I didn't even consider watching this movie 'til I learned that Vincent Campbell was in it. It just didn't grab my interest as good horror, good-bad horror, or even bad-bad horror. It just seemed "eh" and in my book, that means I move on to the next movie.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'The Hollow (2015)'
Alright, I'll give the movie this much, the three main sisters might have been obnoxiously cast as the typical useless female leads but it was balanced by the fact that all the characters were useless, frantic ninnies. So they weren't discriminating against the "Weaker Sex" per say. Instead they just made every character so obnoxiously feeble, by the end, you pretty much want them all to die.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'Housebound (2014)'
Yeah, this was a pretty cheeky movie. I can appreciate that about horrors that also want to be comedies, though it's very dry humor and isn't for everyone. I think the cast and crew were from New Zealand. I'm not fully positive about that, but they definitely had the dry humor that would typically go with the region.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'The Ruins' (2008)
You know, I don't know why I like this movie so much. Maybe because it's not just horror, but survival horror. It has that "brink of madness, human limits tested, sense of dread" that I love so much about zombie movies (when they're done right). Kind of like The Road. That wasn't horror, but it's just an epic long, grueling march, right into the grave. It's just fucking brutal. *cue Nathan Explosion*

Reed Alexander's Review of 'He Never Died' (2015)
HENRY MOTHER FUCKEN ROLLINS!!! Yeah, I was likely going to eat this movie up even if it was a total wash, but I did make the best, albeit half-assed, attempt to look at the movie objectively and see past my man crush on Uncle Hank. So I took this movie for what it was, for what it was, and it was pretty good. There was solid action, pretty good acting, funny at times, and it certainly didn't take itself too seriously.

Reed Alexander's Review of Oculus (2013)
You don't have to read this review. You can watch the Cinema Sins and pretty much get the gist of what I'm about to say. I got to give the writer and director credit, cerebral horror is a very hard nut to crack and they really did make a stellar effort. They failed it miserably, but the effort was there. Messing with the audience's perceptions is difficult when, you know, they're watching it on a screen and can pretty much already differentiate between reality and the movie.
