My Review of 'Bird Box'
I know what you're already thinking: How can a Netflix movie be good? Well, it happens every so often. Don't get me wrong, the majority of the Netflix exclusive movies aren't very stellar. The majority of the movies on the streaming service are usually quick straight to video quality movies. They have a ton of romantic comedies which aren't too bad. Then there are a whole slew of so-called serious movies that are either not bad or you quit watching halfway into it.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Dig Two Graves' (2014)
This movie is Oscar material as far as I'm fucking concerned. It also touches my hillbilly roots a little bit. So if you want an idea of the kinds of wife’s tales I grew up on, you can watch this movie and get a good feel for them.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Land Shark' (2017)
I was scrolling through Tubi which has a multitude of cheese movies and came across one entitled Land Shark. Apparently, my wife had seen this hot mess before and suggested it as a potential good-bad movie. I have to tell you, it did not disappoint. In the category of "So Bad It's Good" I'd place this gem along side the original Carnosaur. Of course, Carnosaur didn't have CGI to work with, so mostly all they had was a green screen and a dinosaur hand puppet. Land Shark doesn't leave out the hand puppet but I really wished they'd leaned on the practical FX more than CGI.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Blob' (1988)
You know, it's surprising how revolutionary this movie was for crap 80s horror. But If you really think about it, The Blob kind of defied a lot of horror norms, all of which we take for granted today. Many of the norms it defied, you’ll regularly hear me bitching about, such as "Black Guy Dies First" or "Weaker Sex Syndrome."

The Disappointments in Horror
Where did the scares go? What happened to the movies that keep you up at night? Or the movies that make you jump and hold on to the person next to you, also embarking on the cinematic adventure. Growing up on horror movies like Aliens, Candyman, and Puppet Masters may have desensitized horror fans from getting the new thrills and jumps for modern movies. I recall a time where I was afraid to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night with the thought of Candyman being there. Now, three horror movies can be watched back to back with no cartoons in between and sleep peacefully. There is one Director that is becoming more and more elevated with his storytelling type movies: James Waan.

'Bird Box:' Possibly One of the Best Post-Apocalyptic Thrillers Since 'A Quiet Place'
Bird Box is a Netflix original movie that premiered on December 21, 2018 and is a sci-fi apocalyptic thriller that will invite you into a chaotic world from the offset. Masterfully lead by hailed Danish director Susanne Bier (The Night Manager) and penned by famed script writer Eric Heisserer (Arrival). Firstly, we're met with Mallory Hayes, the main protagonist/survivor played by Sandra Bullock, who stares at the camera almost daring you to look away as she delivers a stark warning about obeying her authority absolutely without question, to two adorable little five-year-olds who travel with her. They are both named 'boy' and 'girl' to give you a hint that society has long since broken down, even to the point where names are obsolete, and a luxury for a world that was before.
