Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf' (2015)
Where do I begin on this silly mess of absolute nonsense? It comes down to the important question. Was this, intentional pile of dog shit, an entertaining pile of dog shit? Does a little kid hit the dog shit and slide across the lawn? Or does the pile of dog shit just sit there, till it get's hard, and turns white? Well, it was hit and miss. It was more like the little kid running around the yard, nearly missing the dog shit, keeping up the spectacle, because you know he's gonna step on it at some point, but when he did, it was kinda just a head nod.

Weird and Pissed Off Reviews: Two Duds and a Nostalgic Gem
Thanks to a persistent illness that refused to grant me comfort this week, it was a pretty light week for being in the right frame of mind to care about movies. I did sneak in a few, however, so don't get too worried!

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday' (1993)
Again, not sure why this installment of the Friday the 13th (F13) franchise was so universally hated on. In my review of Jason X (aka Jason in Space!) I mentioned fans of the franchise placed the original run on WAY too fucking high a pedestal. Five, in my opinion, is really the worst and it's more about what it wasn't than what it was.

'Happy Death Day 2U'
As this film began, I felt an overwhelming sense of relatability to the main characters; this is because, just as they were experiencing the same day over and over again, I felt as if I was watching a film that I had seen 100 times before. This isn't an offhand remark about this film being too similar to its predecessor as I haven't ever seen the first film and after seeing its sequel, I don't plan to.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Ghost Team' (2016)
I'll be blunt. This movie was wholly predictable. But, in this case that's okay. You shouldn't be expecting any twists in this lovable little horror comedy. The movie was disappointingly not as violent as I was expecting. It wore the badge "Unrated" on Netflix, but there are two types of unrated films. Films so shocking, the producers knew they couldn't get them past the ratings people. And films were they ran out of money and could pay for the ratings people. Unfortunately, this was the latter. The "Unrated" badge here is just a clever way to make the movie more enticing. I'd put it at about PG-13 with a little too much swearing to keep that rating.
