Reed Alexander's Review of "Rubber (2010)"
SPOILERS!!! THIS cinematic masterpiece is a meta introspective view on our sullen lives as the audience whom craves a release from our daily routine. A primordial beckoning, if you will, towards a greater purpose through the art we wish to consume. “Rubber” is nothing less than a true reflection of our dull lives from which we long to break free.

The Void: The Perfect Lovecraft Movie
Why had I not heard of this movie before Halloween? I really don't care what the critics say. If you check, IMDB gives this movie a 5.8/10, Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 73%, and Empire gives is 3/5. This seems like a movie to see once and forget about it. I promise you, if you have a thing for C'thulhu, Azathoth, or the Deep Ones (among other Lovecraftian monsters), you will enjoy this movie and come back to it again and again.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'Last Days On Mars' (2013)
SABER-TOOTH IN SPACE!... well, on Mars. To be honest, I didn't even consider watching this movie 'til I learned that Vincent Campbell was in it. It just didn't grab my interest as good horror, good-bad horror, or even bad-bad horror. It just seemed "eh" and in my book, that means I move on to the next movie.

Looking Back at Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' 10 Years Later
Ten years ago, Rob Zombie shared with us his vision of a rebooted Halloween movie. Director and co-writer of Halloween (1978) John Carpenter gave his blessing to Rob Zombie on the condition that he made the movie his own and not a shot for shot remake (like Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho).

Horrorthon Conclusion: 'Jigsaw' (2017)
Hello one and all. So, my 2017 Halloween Horrorthon officially ended yesterday, October 31st — Halloween. The actual day! Whew! 28 movies this year and a nice eclectic mix this year. I started with Misery and ended up with a movie that would make a sane, normal human being who genuinely loves horror movies miserable! I might've just said more than I should, but read on.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'The Hollow (2015)'
Alright, I'll give the movie this much, the three main sisters might have been obnoxiously cast as the typical useless female leads but it was balanced by the fact that all the characters were useless, frantic ninnies. So they weren't discriminating against the "Weaker Sex" per say. Instead they just made every character so obnoxiously feeble, by the end, you pretty much want them all to die.

My Boyfriend Makes Me Watch Ridiculous Movies: 'Deep Rising'
"Creature Feature or Horror flick?" These are the choices I'm given this week. I'm getting ramped up for Halloween. Even after a Mothman and a Vampire Hunter, I'm still in the mood for some supernatural monsters. I'll get to a real ghoulie ghost story one of these days, but it is not this day.

Movie Review: 'Jigsaw'
I am so bummed out by Jigsaw, the continuation of my favorite horror franchise, Saw. It’s not that Jigsaw is bad; much of it is actually pretty good: the scares are good, the gore is outstanding, the acting is top notch B-movie stuff, a staple of the franchise. No, what bums me out is that Jigsaw fails miserably in its attempt to tie back into the original franchise which seemed to definitively end with Saw 3D back in 2010. That film, to me, was a misunderstood piece of horror trash that wonderfully, darkly, and humorously commented on the films that came before. Jigsaw upends the premise of Saw 3D, and that hurts me to my franchise fan core.
