Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” as an example of a modern masterpiece with an inherently intersectional message - a Case Study
The Integration of an Idea My hope is that this analysis shows the reader an example of a film narrative that runs on the terms of power and privilege versus systematic oppression and fleshes out again how insane our reasoning for violence and isolation of power is. The possibilities for a whole library of film analysis based on feminist narrative theory remain virtually untapped and such work could lead into the creation of an art form that does not repeat propaganda and cash in on human suffering, but depicts the existing mentality truthfully while transforming it’s audience with knowledge of defects and presenting the view point of a character we, unlike "the heroes", are accustomed to.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Color Out of Space' (2019)
Back in my review of Mandy, (2018) I complained that I didn't get the ultimate Nick Cage experience I was promised. I was told it would be full force, category 5, Nicolas Cage. I was expecting Cage to deliver the ham of godly proportions. The reason this was so important to me, is that it was litmus test for this movie, Color Out of Space (2019).

Movie Review: 'Fantasy Island'is Corporatized Horror Trash
Fantasy Island is a tedious attempt at reviving familiar I.P with a ‘twist.’ What if we take a forgettable 1970’s TV show and make it a horror movie? Clever? The result certainly is not clever or interesting. Rather, the remake of Fantasy Island as a Blumhouse horror movie with a sub-B-List cast reeks of corporate interference and of a director who is more hack than actual director, only capable of forgettably transmitting corporate dictates into a bland screen product.

‘The Invisible Man’ (2020) Movie Review
Inspired by the classic novel by H.G. Wells, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man is the story of Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) and her ex-boyfriend, Dr. Adrien Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). Dr. Griffin is a brilliant scientist, but a very abusive partner. After Cecilia finally escapes, he kills himself. But after some unseen being starts tormenting her, Cecilia deduces that he is not only alive, but has also figured out a way to turn himself invisible. Everyone thinks she’s hysterical, including her sister (Harriet Dyer) and her good friend James (Aldis Hodge), a police officer who harbored her while she was hiding from Adrien. Now, Cecilia must not only prove that Adrien is alive, but stop him before he hurts anyone else.

The Lighthouse Movie Review
The slow burn is an unapologetic style of filmmaking; it doesn’t aim to appeal to a broad audience, nor does it conform to popular trends. After debuting to the masses with 2015’s The Witch, director Robert Eggers has brought us “The Lighthouse”, a masterful creation that ranks among the creepiest and most suspenseful films ever made.

But strange, sinister things begin happening around the house, and nobody can figure out who's doing them.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Polaroid' (2019)
It's weird that I ended up watching this movie right after the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street (Elm Str). They have a lot of odd similarities. I think the person who wrote this movie, might have been trying to come up with a new adaption on the Elm Str. concept, and just phoned it in. I mean, a child murderer, with supernatural powers, uses them within a very strict mythos, to murder the children of the people who killed him.
