Living Art
Talon Burris just finished his work. Like a wind sweeping through a musty hall, he felt that his piece would stand as a new standard for artistry. It featured what he maintained was a gargoyle, but it remained difficult to even determine this much. Green and grey smears looked like smoke had been applied to the canvas. No sense of light or harmony existed within the image. Burris smiled. He felt in his mind that that this was his greatest work. He had to tell his fellow artist and friend, Gimble Seddon. He popped up on his mobile device.

Neighbours (Chapter 8)
8 AM I have decided to skip work today. My boss hates me. I was going to get fired anyway. And, who cares? Roy can pay for my unemployed desires, lustful gifts that I could otherwise afford if I had a job. But now I don't. I look around, noticing that I'm not inside my room. I slept on the couch and probably dreamt of him. I'm not really sure of it, but I have a feeling; the kind that sits in your gut, waiting for you to acknowledge it. I get up and wrap my cardigan around my thin frame. I haven't eaten much lately and not because my body doesn't ask for it. In fact, it's like my own mind has been set into oblivion, forgetting to fulfill its basic function— help me survive. My phone has a bunch of messages left unread and one missed call from Anna. I leave the device on the table, unwilling to enter into the realm of social media and the like. I'd rather face my day with no communication at all. She can call the cops if she likes. My boss on the other hand can get hold of a new and more adept person for the job.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Doom' (2005)
You know what? I'll fucking say it. Doom wasn't that bad. It was kind of silly at times, definitely had fuck all to do with the video game, and certainly was trying to rip off Aliens, but it was fun. Isn't that all that matters? That the movie is fun?

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Apartment 143' (2011)
*Sigh* You know what's wrong with shaky camera movies? They're lazy. They're trying to make up for a lack of real atmosphere with shitty video and cheap action shots by waving the camera around. It didn't work with The Taking of Deborah Logan, it didn't work with Paranormal Activity, it didn't even work here. It's just bad filming, not a real use of the medium.

Jonny Depp Is Michael Jackson?
I was in my mid to late teens when Michael Jackson died. I knew he was famous. But I didn’t know why or who he was. It was just a normal day for me—aside from my co-workers, many of whom were very sad to hear the news. At the time I was on a Johnny Depp kick. Appreciating his works such as The Secret Window, and Benny and Joon—a strange mix of movie genres.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Viral' (2016)
Why the fuck is this movie called Viral? I mean, they tell you right off the bat that it's about parasites. They explain it right in the description. There's a whole damn exposé about parasites in the beginning of the damn movie. So why the fuck is it called Viral? Do they not know the difference between a parasite and a virus? I mean, even a single-celled parasite is different than a virus, let alone the multi-celled organisms in this movie. You could have called it "Infection" and you would have been closer than Viral.

Review of 'Bird Box'
I'm not usually a fan of post-apocalyptic horror -- I even gave up on The Walking Dead last year - but Bird Box on Netflix is something else. That is, it's post-apocalyptic horror alright, but done with such sensitivity and style as to be in a class by itself. It also doesn't hurt to see top talent like Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich on the screen, along with newer talent like Trevante Rhodes who does a fine job, too.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' (2016)
I'm just gonna flat out say it. This is now on my list of :Must Watch." I don't care what's in your queue before this movie, watch this instead. Not only is this now on my must watch list with things like Yellowbrickroad and Digging Up the Marrow, it's also on my top five favorite list. In order: Alien, The Thing (1982), The Thing (2011), Autopsy of Jane Doe, Dawn of the Dead (2004)—I haven't see Hereditary or Suspiria (2018), but I'm told they might fight for the top five spot.
