Unfulfilled Desires
The small town of Millfield was known for its peaceful and serene atmosphere, but there was one place in the town that seemed to be shrouded in mystery and darkness - the Don Bosco Manor. The Manor was an old and decrepit mansion that had been abandoned for many years, and the locals avoided it like the plague. It was said to be haunted by the spirits of the previous owners, the Bosco family, who had lived there for generations.

If I Make This Shot, the World Lives
It's something I'd heard my whole life, though it's never been this clear. "If I make this shot, the world lives." As a kid, it would rustle across my brain like a flock of birds, sometimes if I was thinking hard about something, and sometimes when I was just being quiet and trying to focus. It was never distracting, never something that tore me away from my day-to-day life, and, in fact, it made me feel safe. It wasn't even in my voice, not any voice I was familiar with. They say that when you talk to yourself and your internal voice talks to you, it's still your voice.

The Mountains Call
Fonn was old. He was not sure how old he was, he couldn’t remember anymore. He sat outside his yurt, the cold wind bristling against his bald head. Pulling his robe tighter, he wondered how long it had been since his last meal. This thought led to other ideas, and Fonn’s mind began to chase after the past. When was his last meal? How long had he been in this desolate place? What happened to his wife? His Family?

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Drag Me To Hell' (2009)
I think what makes this movie so brilliant is how brutally unfair it is. I've mentioned this before in early reviews, it's hard to take the horror seriously if you're rooting for the killer to win. In order to really drive horror home, you have to make the viewer empathize with the victims. That's what really makes something terrifying, being able to step into the shoes of the horror victim. And here's the thing, this movie is kinda silly. So, imagine a movie that's kinda silly but with characters so well developed and easy to sympathize with that it's still good horror. I mean, the plot is what really drives it home. Imagine if an absolute Karen was given the ability to send people straight to hell. Scarry, right? I mean, if we really go over it, Alison Lohman's character really didn't do anything wrong. Yeah, it's never fun to be the other person on the end of evicting someone out of their home, but as she said, her boss really has the final call. Sure, the guy tries to absolve himself by telling her she has the last say, but so did Paunchous Pilot when he "Washed his hands" of the execution of Jesus. Her boss knew he was dangling her whole life over her head and through that was clearly using coercion to get the answer he wanted. Seriously, only an absolute Karen would blame the employee and not the Boss. You imagine if someone that self-righteous was able to just pick who goes to hell? Frightening shit right there.
