BLOOD ON HER NAME REVIEW

A woman’s panicked decision to cover up an accidental killing spins out of control when her conscience demands she return the dead man’s body to his family. Starring: Bethany Anne Lind, Will Patton, and Elisabeth Rohm Directed by: Matthew Pope Written by: Don M. Thompson, and Matthew Pope   “Blood on Her Name” opens right after a murder has been committed. It’s a dark and rainy night, and Leigh (Bethany Anne Lind) has found herself alone in her auto shop with a dead body. She seems confused at what to do, and weighs her options as she paces around. She decides to dispose of the body in a lake, but just can’t do it once she’s on the water. Instead, she returns the body to a shed outside of the dead man’s home. It’s a decision that will haunt her from that point on.   The opening scene is a good hook because it leaves the audience wanting to know what happened in the auto shop. Did Leigh commit the murder? It seems likely she did, but then the audience i...

THE INVISIBLE MAN REVIEW

When Cecilia’s abusive ex takes his own life and leaves her his fortune, she suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of coincidences turn lethal, Cecilia works to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see. Starring: Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Elisabeth Moss, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen Directed by: Leigh Whannell Written by: Leigh Whannell, and H.G. Wells (novel)   We've all heard about the plans to bring back Universal’s classic monsters in a new Dark Universe. The first attempt failed with “The Mummy,” so it might have seemed logical to jump right to something like Dracula or Frankenstein. Instead, they took another risk, and decided to reimagine “The Invisible Man.” There’s lots that they could do with an invisible man, so did they get this monster story right this time?   Interestingly enough, this monster story is more about the victim than anything else. From the start, the story follows Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss), as she makes a darin...

LVRS REVIEW

A magical realism/horror film that explores the paradox of why a woman chooses to stay in an abusive relationship. Starring: Emily Bennett, Cole Simon, Jack Downey, Michael Downey, and Katharin Mraz Directed and written by: Emily Bennett   “LVRS” wastes little time in grabbing the audience’s attention, and never lets go. It opens with a woman in bed, and a man standing in front of it. The man looks completely normal except for the mirror that’s in front of his face. While it might shock the audience, it brings a smile to the woman who gets to see herself happy. This romantic moment is quickly interrupted by the ring of a red phone, and a young boy. As the film goes on, both the boy and phone are constant interruptions.    The interruptions might not be welcomed for the woman, but are for horror fans. The woman is tortured by the man each time the boy appears, and it will definitely make the audience cringe. She continues to smile into the mirror, as t...

NOSE NOSE NOSE EYES! REVIEW

The terrifying day a ten year old girl witnesses her mother stabbing her father’s eyes to get insurance money. Directed by: Jiwon Moon   With the big win for “Parasite” at the Oscars, it looks like a great time to be a Korean film. “Nose Nose Nose Eyes!” is also a Korean film, and looks to be another must see short film on ALTER. According to the director, this is actually based on a true story. Of course this film tilts towards horror, but it’s horrific in real life as well.   So the film takes the point of view of a little girl, who is stuck in the middle of some deadly family drama. It starts off with a dream that may scare the audience, but definitely scares the girl. She runs to her mother for comfort. Her mother seems normal at first, but there’s nothing normal about what she’s doing. The mother gets a call from the girl’s uncle, and clearly lies to him because she wants to keep the insurance money for herself. The girl questions her mother about it, but ...

THE LODGE REVIEW

A soon-to-be stepmom is snowed in with her fiancĆ©’s two children at a remote holiday village. Just as relations begin to thaw between the trio, some strange and frightening events take place. Starring: Richard Armitage, Riley Keough, Jaeden Martell, and Alicia Silverstone Directed by: Severin Fiala, and Veronika Franz Written by: Sergio Casci, Severin Fiala, and Veronika Franz   As horror fans, we’ve seen a lot of horror movies featuring cabins in the woods. It usually sets up for a great blood and guts slasher type movie, but that’s not happening in “The Lodge.” Not only do we get a little bit of a different setting, but we also get a slow burn psychological horror movie. So should horror fans pay a visit to the lodge…lets find out!    Mia (Lia McHugh) and Aiden (Jaeden Martell) are young kids with parents on the verge of a divorce. Their father, Richard (Richard Armitage) has already moved on to a new woman, Grace (Riley Keough). The movie wastes ...

Starring: Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, and Jackson A. Dunn Directed by: David Yarovesky Written by: Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn   Check out the video review below and find out how many pools of blood this movie received…
