After losing their son. A young couple, Mark and Jessie, decide to Foster a young boy named Cody. Cody had been to a few Foster homes but they all proved problematic, one family even disappeared, leaving Cody by himself.
When we meet Cody properly, he appears to be very well mannered and even takes his shoes off before entering the couples home.
The couple soon discover that Cody has a box of stimulants to keep him awake at night, which he says is to keep the canker man from eating him. The couple brush it off thinking it's a typical child's over-active imagination.
When Cody finally goes to sleep, strange things start to happen in the house. A load of butterflies appear in the living room and their son appears in the house, he doesn't speak but just stands there smiling and they are able to touch him, strangely he disappears when Cody wakes up. It doesn't take the couple long to work out that as Cody sleeps, he is able to make their son appear using videos and photos as references, essentially his dreams become reality. What they don't realise is the evil darkness that comes with it, and it isn't long before it starts attacking Cody whilst he's awake, due to him being sleep deprived. Eventually Jessie searches for ways to help him.
I put this movie off for so long as I didn't expect to like it. It turned out I actually really enjoyed it. It moved at a nice pace and I found it interesting right from the beginning which doesn't tend to happen in horror movies. Mind you I say horror movies but this is more of a fantasy drama with a small element of horror. The acting from everyone is spot on and the horror element of it good, it had a couple of jump scares but they're not over the top. Visuals are good for the most part, but I felt the butterflies looked really false.
I would definitely recommend this movie if you haven't seen it already.

I am a very picky person so naturally I was laser focused on everything and the only negative thing I could find was that there were a couple of moments where the CGI looked very clearly like it was done on computer.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Jason Bourne (2016) in Movies
Aug 5, 2017
Good cast (2 more)
Good fight choreography
Great car chase scene
Bourne is back
Slightly better than Legacy I thought this was a good film. It has a good cast, some cool action scenes and fights, along with a couple of twists. If you're a Bourne fan you'll like it. Although they are all starting to feel very similar.

Multi-faceted (2 more)
Some intriguing characters.
Colourful and wacky.
Multi-dimensional in many ways
The multiple storylines weaving in and out of one another keeps you interested throughout as well as wondering between episodes.
Some if the characters are intriguing, some are weak and lack depth, but overall it is a delightful wacky piece of entertainment.

WOW, this book was really good!! I read it a long time ago, maybe 7 years ago. The characters were great, the story was great, you really felt for the characters. I remember it being a book I couldn't put down. Such a great read. I've read it a couple times and I wouldn't hesitate to check it out again.

Better than expected
Thought this one would be a lot more "cheesy" but it turned out to be pretty decent. The acting was good and the cinematography/effects were, too. Couple of decent twists and the story was pretty unique and unfolded quite well. A little reminiscent of older horror movies(in a good way). This one is definitely worth a watch!

I was really hoping to like this a lot more then i did... however it was still cute. some of the stories i liked so much more then others.. some just were unbelivable to me while others i could totally see happening. and a couple i had no clue what was going on. overall it wasnt horrible and i enjoyed it.

Mar 9, 2018
The women of the Women's Murder Club must come together when seemingly random killings begin to show the target is policemen and their families. There were a couple of plot points that seemed a bit cliche, but I really did enjoy this book.
