A Short Review of 'Midsommar' (2019, Ari Aster)
Before we go into details, I should highlight, if you go to see this film, do not expect a truly scary horror film, because this isn't that. It is a highly intense, disturbing, psychological thriller and drama, with significant elements of humour and heavy connotations of folk horror, displaying a truly, strangely beautiful pagan nightmare. At the same time, it acts as a highly emotional and feminist story of an emotionally fragile and depressed woman having to deal with a bitter family loss and escape the clutches of an emotionally abusive relationship, fueled by the misogynistic and culturally insensitive opinions of some of the other characters.

Water Nymph
I'm a Pisces, a water sign... At least that is what astrology tells me. Water has always been a part of my life as I was growing up in the Caribbean, swimming every day at the beach until my skin was dark and roasted from the sun. This was until I was nine and we moved to Miami. I didn't like the water there, it was heavy and oily (that's how my nine-year-old self would describe it). I turned to books and my always wild imagination; I continued to paint, and when we moved once again back to Colombia, this time to Medellín in the mainland, I missed the ocean the most. As I grew older, I started to develop a slight fear of water... It had maybe always been there I guess, especially a fear of dark water; it made me feel like something would get me.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Hellraiser: Deader' (2005)
I'll give it this much, it was better than Hellraiser: Inferno. Of course, you could make a movie about drinking a shit milkshake and it would be better than Inferno. Yes, that's right, I'm suggesting that turning 2 Girls, 1 Cup into a major motion would have been better than the absolute festering cesspool of red-hot, bloody diarrhea that was Inferno. And this pretty much means I'm never going to do a review of Inferno. My review would just consist of me spraying diarrhea into a Sunday dish, drinking it, and telling you how much better it was than Inferno. The closest you're going to get is my review of Judgment.

'Crawl' Is a Well-Paced, Suspenseful Thriller with Great Performances
Did the writers of this movie think I NEEDED another reason to not go to Florida?! Also, I feel like this movie should have been called Swim. I mean, the characters and the alligators don't really crawl that much in this movie. The main character is a SWIMMER. Is Swim not the more appropriate title?

‘Midsommar’ Movie Review
With a movie like Midsommar, it’s best to go in blind, but I’ll do my best to explain it without revealing too much. When Dani (Florence Pugh) has to cope with a devastating family tragedy, she decides to tag along with her unsupportive boyfriend (Jack Reynor) to a festival in Sweden, along with three of his friends. But the festivities gradually become stranger and stranger, and the group begins to suspect that danger might be in store.
