Odd disturbing film

A strange film with not much of a plot or explanation as to what is going on, although some might like this more because of that. It's a very gritty, raw, rather bleak film as a couple of psycho's decide to play some not so funny games with a family in a holiday home. You just need to watch a comedy after to lift your mood!

Extremely interesting

Took this book on holiday with me and could not put it down! Managed to read it very quickly. So interesting to learn about forensics and pathology! Behind the scenes of crimes that ordinary people would not realise. Read about interesting cases as the forensic/pathology/psychological/detective work that goes into solving such crimes. Fascinating! Clear chapters also. Including some pictures!
