Reed Alexander's Review of "Harbinger Down (2015)"
Yeah, it was okay... Honestly, I'm a total fan boy for Lance Hendriksen, and have a fucked-up raging man boner for just about everything he's ever been in. Go figure...
Reed AlexanderPublished 7 years ago in HorrorGuys, We Have to Talk About 'Friday the 13th'
We need to talk about Friday the 13th, the original, not the remake. Friday the 13th is one of the most iconic horror movies ever made. It’s a classic. For those who don't know, Friday the 13th is a 1980s slasher flick. It was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham and co-written by Victor Miller. It stars Betsy Palmer, who plays…someone. I’m not good at this, but she’s great; trust me.

Reid MoorePublished 7 years ago in Horror'Halloween 3': Who Needs Michael Myers?
Hello, and welcome back to Second Chances where I talk about things that deserve another shot. There are few horror movies that have been more influential than John Carpenter's 1978 classic Halloween. The story of babysitters terrorized by the psychopathic Michael Myers on Halloween night became the template for almost all the slasher flicks that came out afterward. It was also a massive success, taking in $70 million worldwide on a budget of only $300k. Naturally, sequels were wanted by the studio, but Carpenter and his co-producer Debra Hill didn't want to rehash the Michael Myers story over and over. So they struck a deal with the studio. The second would continue from the original's cliffhanger, and the follow-ups would present new stories. That deal gave us Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.
Adam WallacePublished 7 years ago in HorrorMovie Review: 'Happy Death Day'
Happy Death Day is one of the best surprises of 2017. This seemingly throwaway teen slasher flick turns out to be a sneaky black comedy version of Groundhog Day if Bill Murray were being murdered every day. The film was directed by Christopher Lambert whose résumé is riddled with mediocre screenplays for the Paranormal Activity franchise and whose first feature was the idiotic Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, which leaves me to wonder where he’s been hiding this version of his work?
Sean PatrickPublished 7 years ago in HorrorGerald's Game Film Review
I don't consider myself a King expert, at least in the realm of his actual books. I've read The Green Mile (which was years ago) as well as one of his early works published under his Bachman pseudonym, Rage, which would have made a really effective "bottle film" and has themes that are more relevant today than ever.
Parker StanfieldPublished 7 years ago in Horror'It'
*SPOILERS GALORE* I hate horror movies. In fact, I only watch them when I’m forced to. There are several reasons to hate the horror genre.

George HermanPublished 7 years ago in Horror Must Watch Horror Anthologies You've Probably Never Seen
If there's one thing that the horror movie genre has become infamous for, it's massive horror movie anthologies. It's never just an original and a sequel, either. This genre is known for having as many as nine or more stories per anthology.
Skunk UzekiPublished 7 years ago in HorrorMonster Movie Remakes Better Than the Originals
Who's a sucker for a good monster film? I am... I love monster movies. A great scary one will cause the blood to rush right through me and give me goosebumps everywhere from all the chaos. If I view a monster movie's trailer and just the trailer intrigued me, you know damn well I'm going to watch the full film in theaters in dim lighting and HD quality and sound.
George NekilanPublished 7 years ago in HorrorPoe and the Two Houses
The themes or morals of Edgar Allan Poe’s works still have a presence in our society today and the sense of dread in his writing are imposed onto the reader. This is evident in the correlation between Poe’s "The Fall of the House of Usher" and the modern day horror film House on Haunted Hill. Both have the unerring ability to make the readers and watchers feel they are involved with and being affected by mounting tension.
