Open Grave review
As the quarantine drags on quality entertainment becomes as hard to find as 2-ply toilet paper. I’m lucky in that my tolerance for B-list thrillers/horror flicks seems to be higher than the average viewer. With that being said, I had initially put this on for background noise to fall asleep. Being a low-budget movie I’ve never heard of, my expectations were inherently low. Usually these type of films are riddled with predictable plot lines, poor audio and/or visual quality and even worse acting. With critic reviews all over the place ranging from a 6.2/10 on IMDB, an 85% approval rating from Google users, to receiving a measly 13% on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s hard to know what you’re going to get. Usually one to side with the all powerful RT, this was a surprising little gem.

My Review of "Slaughterhouse Rulez"
Slaughterhouse Rulez blends a lot of familiar movies but I'm not sure if it melded quite as well as they were expecting. Still this is an enjoyable film to kill some time if you're looking for something to watch. In theory it should have worked really well but some of the scenes fell flat. Maybe it's because I've seen the scenes done better in other movies.

Us - A Movie Review
They say everyone has a double - but that’s not always a good thing. Us is a 2019 horror film. A family goes on a vacation to enjoy some time together. However, that all comes to end when one night they find that they are not alone. Stalked by doppelgangers who look exactly like them, nobody rests until the fight of their life has ended.

Low Budget Terror: 'The Sky Has fallen'
It has to be said, as Indie films go, there is a massive over-saturation of zombie films floating around the DVD shelves. This could be down to the facts that making a post-apocalyptic movie with zombie antagonists is simply the cheapest way to get a horror film made. It worked for George.A.Romero and co back in the 60s and it clearly can still work today. Unfortunately, something has been lost in translation over the years meaning character, plot and motivation have been left on the cutting room floor in favour of having the most blood on screen. Which brings me to this weeks movie review, a low-budget indie called The Sky Has Fallen.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of "Midsommar" (2019)
Jesus fucking Christ. I haven't seen a movie go for broke on the whole "asshole boyfriend" trope since White Settlers (2014). At least that asshole showed some growth. This prick doubled down at every moment of the movie. He goes from gaslighting his girlfriend Dani (played by Florence Pugh), to stringing along their relationship rather than dumping her, to using Dani's sister's suicide as a weapon, to being completely unsupportive as a boyfriend, to stealing a thesis from someone who is supposed to be a friend, to eye-fucking ever woman in sight. The list goes on and fucking on. GOD! How hard do you have to drive home the guy being an asshole?

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Camp Dread' (2014)
I love the basic concept of this movie. It's like Don't Fuck In The Woods, with a myriad of strung together, fan favorite, tropes. It shows you the people making this movie were fans before they were writers and directors. Actually, a lot of the set up reminds me of Cabin in the Woods, except more of a spoof and as a reality TV show instead of an Illuminati conspiracy.

The nun, conjuring and Annabelle movie timeline
These movies are connected and have at least one other movie in the universe. The main thing connecting the movies together is the Warrens. Also some of the spirits make an appearance in multiple films in the universe of the conjuring. I will also point out things you may not have known or noticed.

Jen Reacts: Sinister I & II
I'll start off in media res. I watched Sinister last night and am about to pop on its sequel, Sinister II. And, I'll be quite honest, I don't have high expectations. I refrained from watching the first one when it came out because there was so much bloody hype around it.

The Girl on The 3rd Floor
When I first turned on The Girl on the 3rd Floor I was slightly confused. To be honest I scanned/half read the synopsis and just threw it on since I didn’t see anything else that caught my eye on Netflix at the time. The film as a whole has a very weird tone. It’s bland yet bright, a little dull yet still interesting. It’s a little difficult to explain if I’m being honest but I will definitely try my best. However, before I get into the details of the story and the plot, let me breakdown some cast, crew, and setting info of this weird yet bizarre horror film.
