Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Vamp' (1986)
Some of you might not be old enough to remember this, but there used to be a network on basic cable called USA. They had a schedule that started sometime after midnight called USA Up All Night. During this period they would play single X pornos that had been edited to just barely skim passed the censors for basic cable. They'd crop scenes to cut out the tiddies, or cut parts of the scene to cut out the tiddies. It was pretty awesome if you were a post-pubescent teen looking for a midnight wank. But you'd also get to see some pretty fun 'so bad it's good' horror that was basically a single X porno. And there was pretty much no other place for young kids to watch this shit because it would otherwise be behind the red curtain at the local video rental (the red curtain was to hide the room with the pornos rentals).

Waiting for the Fire to Start...
Firestarter is the second feature film for director Keith Thomas and a remake of the 1984 film directed by Mark L. Lesterand features Drew Barrymire and David Keith. Inspired by Stephen King’s Firestarter, I unfortnately havent seen the 1984 film, however, the remake was very lackluster and doesnt make me want to watch the original nor read the book. Although the film stars the likes of Zac Efron, he unfortunately couldn’t save this film.

The Quantum Real is a Devil of a Place.
The latest addition to my movie diary was the low budget, independant movie, The Quantum Devil on Amazon Prime. Described as a science fiction horror, i was intrigued by this film to see how they would make the Quatum Real into a scary place, and what i watched wasnt what i expected.

What a demon Black Demon was...
There’s a lot of films that I was highly anticipating like Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon. One of the low budget movies i was looking forward too was the Paramount shark horror, The Black Demon… and what a demon it was.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Necrosis' (2009)
SPOILERS!!! Oh yeah, it's that bad. We're starting with the spoilers. Now, to be fair, it is Good-Bad or "So Bad It's Good." In fact, this was the movie I was promised when I originally heard reviews about The Sand (2015). That movie was actually unfairly maligned, because, yeah it was low budget, yeah it had bad acting, yeah it had shit CGI, but for the most part it was good enough for horror, and even pretty smart. This movie is what I expect when people say "So Bad It's Good." So if you're looking for good riffing material, watch this, not The Sand. The Sand isn't actually all that bad.

Horror, Drama, Action, And Friendship
Start writing...Once upon a time, in a town that nestled cozily between misty mountains and whispering forests, there were four amigos who were tighter than a knot in a sailor's rope. Meet Alex, Sarah, Max, and Emily – they were the kind of crew that stuck together through thick and thin, their friendship as sturdy as an old oak tree.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'No One Will Save You' (2023)
You know what was super neat about this movie? It takes place in modern times. It's hard to tell at first but then you see the main character has a flat-screen TV and a c.a. 2010's Subaru. But for the most part, the setting is pretty old fashioned. Rotary phone, old appliances, c.a. 70's garments; the kind of thing that gives the movie a retro feel. It's kinda like It Follows (2014), how the setting is 70's but they have modern things like cellphones. It actually gives the movie a feel kinda like Pearl (2022). It feels very Pleasant Valley Sunday. Like a 1950's sitcom, not a horror movie. The setting gives it sorta a zany vibe. It really makes the atmosphere tangible and interesting. It also gives the movie a much more creepy feel than it might have in a modern setting like Dark Skies (2013). Old stuff is just creepy and it really helps the atmosphere.

The Spectral Sideshow
In the old-fashioned metropolis of Raven's Hollow, in which the mist rolled in like a shroud and the wind whispered secrets and techniques of the past, there lived a ghost hunter acknowledged only as Max. With a coronary heart as courageous as a lion and a sense of humor as sharp as a sword, Max had made it his existence's assignment to are seeking for out the supernatural and find the mysteries that lay hidden inside the shadows.
