A decent film
I was really looking forward to this after watching @The Conjuring 2 (2016) which was genuinely creepy. Which introduced us to the Nun character. Unfortunately this doesn't quite create the same atmosphere of that film. Mainly going for jump scares. Which for me were predictable, the guy next to me jumped quite a bit though.
It was still an enjoyable film and links nicely to the Conjuring universe. Maybe if it was an 18 rating it would be scarier and less like a ghost story. Overall a good back story if a slightly missed opportunity.

Scarily good
I like scary movies. I watched the first episode and wasn't sure I could watch any more because it was scary. I kept watching and ended up binge watching the entire series. Although its a ghost story, I realised there was more to it. It's about the characters and their flawed personalities and relationships. There's actually so much going on that you may even miss a lot of interesting or scary bits, so don't hide behind the cushion.
I enjoyed it emensly and I'm sad it's finished because it really was very very good.

I love the Muppets.
This film is the best of many retellings of Dickens classic ghost tale.
Gonzo is my favourite as Charles Dickens, his narration along with Rizzlo the rat is humorous and fun.
Kermit as Bob Crachit as the lead book keeper is amusing and his team of rats are hilarious.
Michael Caine plays Scrooge who's path of redemption is believable as he is visted by three ghosts who show Scrooge the errors of his ways.
Also, the songs are catchy.
Disney tried other versions but none can top this one. A true Christmas classic to watch every year.

Lions Among Us
The Ghost and the Darkness- is a good film. Both Micheal Douglas and Val Klimer are good in it.

The plot: Sir Robert Beaumont (Tom Wilkinson) is behind schedule on a railroad in Africa. Enlisting noted engineer John Henry Patterson (Val Kilmer) to right the ship, Beaumont expects results. Everything seems great until the crew discovers the mutilated corpse of the project's foreman (Henry Cele), seemingly killed by a lion. After several more attacks, Patterson calls in famed hunter Charles Remington (Michael Douglas), who has finally met his match in the bloodthirsty lions.

Its a good film.

"The Shawshank Redemption. The title threw me at first. Before I went to jail, I started watching [every jail movie]. That was one of them. I was trying to write a book, and I was having trouble. You know, I didn’t have the right publisher; they just wanted a book. I hooked up with this writer, a ghost writer, and he wrote a script for me, like, overnight. It was my story, but told from a bong’s point of view, and the bong gets put in federal prison. A week later the feds come in. There was some weird cosmic thing going on."
