It's was ok.......
Great story line a couple wanting a baby and that's exactly what they got only difference is it came in a spaceship, the child grows and they make many memories as a family until the boy (Brandon) starts hearing a voice that us veiwers soon find out he's been sent to take the world.
The film had plenty of creepy feel to it, with Brandon playing the good role of the young crazy guy. And His mum played by Elizabeth Banks couldn't have been a better character, she seems to do well in a cheesy horror (slither).
On the whole it was a good watch, I didn't know what to expect I wasn't 100% amazed but a good 7/10!

Feels like you're there in the park
Hell of a ride
Finally got to see this on Netflix today as I missed it at the cinema. It looked good from the trailer. Fairly low budget but it has a good premise of some friends enjoying a Halloween night at a Horror theme park. It wasn't particularly scary but the setting definitely made the film more fun as you feel like you are experiencing the park as well. Definitely more of a a slow stalk and slash film with a couple of gore scenes as well. If you are after a decent Horror film for this Halloween add this to your list and enjoy your ride to Hell Fest!
Good survival horror
Absolutely loved this book. I think what i liked most is the fact of when its written and when its based. With it being late 1970's there are no computers, internet or mobile phones to help people. Its brilliantly written and you really get a feel for the hopelessness and terror that people would have felt. Good story and excellent character development. What stood out is though there is a main character, he never comes across as angelic or a person that is going to save the world, like a super hero. He is just a man with a daughter who he would do anything to save, and i mean anything :)

Okay?
This was marketed as a dystopia, but it’s really more post-Apocalypse fiction. There’s a fine line between the two – and sometimes things can straddle it – but I wouldn’t call this a dystopia. So I’m a little disappointed there. Otherwise, it was good. I’m left not really sure how I should feel about it, though. I prefer books that make me feel a certain way – romances make me happy, non-fiction usually makes me feel smarter, like I’ve learned something, graphic novels make me nostalgic. I’m even okay with books like The Fault in Our Stars, or The Crown’s Game, that left me a weeping mess. Station Eleven just left me with an “…o-kay?” Like, what am I supposed to do with this? Unlike most dystopias, I don’t feel like it was a social commentary because it’s post-apocalyptic. (In this case, a virus swept through and killed about 99% of Earth’s population.) But at the same time, because it details events both before and after the apocalypse, I feel like it was trying to be?

My wonderful friend brought me this and it arrived today, and I finished it in the space of 3 hours. It was so good. I absolutely adored it. I have watched the film a number of times, and as someone who struggles with ill mental health, among other bits, it often is one I struggle with. But the book, wow. Just amazing. I laughed so hard in places, and I nearly cried in others. It is so good and I feel so lucky to be able to relate to something so profound.I will update this with a much better review soon.

Good but missing something
Overall the movie was pretty good. The characters, the main ones at least, held my attention for the duration of the film. There weren't any dead spots. But I would have loved to have had a back story. They need to really make a prequel to explain why this version of the world exists.
