Halloween 2018 - Is Obsession The Real Killer?
In Halloween (2018) Michael Myers and Laurie Strode's deadly battle has stretched across four long decades. 40 years of being locked away. Michael Myers is being held for the second time at a high-security mental institute following his 1978 murder spree (the one which kicked off the major franchise) in the original Halloween film. Laurie Strode is bound in a prison of her own making- constructed like an apocalyptic prepper's doomsday bunker keeping her safe from a seemingly obsessed serial killer. In this Halloween we're left to wonder, why is Michael Myers really dedicated to murdering Laurie Strode? Perhaps out of some antithesis of love? Do they share some sort of connection? Does he even care about her... or could it be Laurie’s obsession that is keeping her trapped?

A Filmmaker's Review: “The Omen” (1976)
Over many years I have watched “The Omen” (1976) multiple times and have never actually brought myself to review it mostly because I was conflicted about the film. There are many things that make this film one of the greatest thrillers of all time and many things that make this film an amazing lesson in horror. I have been mostly conflicted about what I should cover. As someone who did their MA Thesis mostly in physical and visual body horror, I would like to concentrate on this particular realm in the film and tell you exactly why this is one of the best films to watch for this particular case. In this, we cover the way in which the human body is used as a medium and a force for the tension, the climax and the shock that we feel when something frightening happens. This film, mostly relying on tension, builds to a climax using the human body as the catalyst purely because it is the very thing the film is about: the antichrist has embodied the child. After we understand this, the body horror seems to work in incredible ways if we add to it the Latin Choir that keeps playing every single time the child is responsible for something evil. It is not the child’s body, but the bodies of the other characters that become part and parcel to the horror as the film builds to its climax seemingly at the end of the narrative.

“Wait, do any of you feel that?” Mandy asks as the boat starts to rock from side to side. “No, feel what?” Everybody asks. As soon as they asked, they heard a thump out on the deck. They all are looking in the direction the sound came from. All of their eyes huge. Their hearts thumping out of their chests. Then suddenly they see a light out on the deck. Then all of the guys stood up and walked out towards the deck. “What are you all doing?!” Mandy yells. “Have you lost your minds?!” She continues screaming.

Their Adventure into the Fall of the Bermuda
As soon as they get to the hospital, the nurses rush her to the emergency room. The nurses slowly unwrap her bandages, trying to make it the least painful as possible. They take a look at her flesh on her leg, just all mangled up and bloody to see what they can do or if they can even save her leg. “How on earth did this happen?” A familiar voice says. Mandy looks around to see who said that but couldn’t get a good look without getting lightheaded and plopping her head down again. “Now, now. Take it easy Mandy. We’re going to take diligent care of your leg. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure of it.” That is the last thing Mandy heard as she passed out into a dark abyss.
