Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) created a post

I need some movie recommendations. I want to watch something scary. I prefer either ghost stories or serial killers, preferably psychologically frightening, not a violent gore-fest, and with a plausible storyline. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Edited: I like ghosts because of the history involved. I like a good story.


Nothing about religions, cults, demons, exorcisms, and the like.


No tortured ghosts from asylums or other locations of abuse.


No animals. Children are iffy, at best.

I know. He's a freak psycho. But Mandy is not really about him as much as the visuals and the journey. It's almost a horror version of John Wick.

+1 for 'Ghost Stories'. I'm booked to go see the theatre show of this when it returns to London in a couple of months and am really excited! I can also recommend the movie 'A Ghost Story' if you haven't seen it. Strange concept but once you get into it, it's really quite good.

Book Rating
The third Dan Brown book featuring Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and, like his previous books ("Angels and Demons", "The Da Vinci code", "Deception Point" and "Digital Fortress" - the first two in that list also featuring Robert Langdon), I found it to be an entertaining enough read without being anything special.

I have to say, I also think that (one of) the supposed big reveals was actually pretty obvious from roughly 1/3 of the way into the story, which didn't really help ...

You have to be willing to laugh at religion to enjoy this. Yes, even your own.... (0 more)
One of my all-time favorite novels.
This is one of my all-time favorite books, and my introduction to both Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, whose entire bibliographies I intend to complete. Highly recommended for anyone who is willing to temporarily (or not) turn off the urge to take higher things like God, the Antichrist, angels, demons, and the apocalypse too seriously.

A great comedy series that ended before it became too overdone. The visuals and use of music really fits well and adds to the programme I love cricket is going though my head as I wrote this. Really good characters from the core group to the demons who could forget the crack fox. I've watched it a million times and will still seek out episodes to rewatch.
