Ok scary tales film
I missed this at the cinema and caught on Amazon prime last night. I thought it was going to be an anthology of scary stories. It's more of a few mini tales set within the main plot of the whole film. I enjoyed it and at times it felt a bit like @Creepshow (1982) or @Trick 'r Treat (2007) The overall feel of the film was similar to a Stephen King short story. Only downside it isn't that scary, maybe why it got a PG-13 rating in the US. If you like ghost stories check it out but it won't give you sleepless nights.

Short, sharp story
Hummingbird Creek is psychiatric hospital where vitamins and forced schedules are key.

A short sharp snappy novel with a fantastic idea and some good characters. The plot twists were interesting if a little obvious for me, although this is below my reading grade.

The teenagers have limited lives and it is quite sad in places. Often perked up by the happier characters in the book.

The book potentially misses a trick by not delving into the problems of the characters very deeply. Could be some learning points for the target audience. I suppose that may stop it from having the quick read feel and it may get darker

I feel like Blumhouse tends to be hit and miss, and versions of monsters of a bygone era also tend to be hit and miss, so I really wasn't sure what to expect with this. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.

Elisabeth Moss carried her own and then some. The supporting cast did a good job, but at the end of the day she was tasked with some pretty intense solo scenes. The hard part here was that she had to perform those scenes at times while dealing with an invisible foe. And she did so rather impressively.

If you're interested in a modern twist on a classic tale, this is for you.

Do You Really Want to Hurt Me by Culture Club

(0 Ratings)

Track

"I first song I remember loving had to be ‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?’ by Culture Club and so I guess I figured out I was an emo pretty early on in my life! But I really just connected with that song when I was a kid. For one, I was taken back by this man’s look, is that a girl or a boy? I was intrigued at that moment, but the song itself is a really good song. A lot of Culture Club’s music had sort of a reggae feel to it and at that point I had never heard reggae music and it sort of felt other-worldly in a way."
