A Decent Introduction to Amy Cross

This was the book that got me into Amy Cross, despite not being a fan of horror in general. Since reading this, I now have over a dozen of her books. She made a unique combination of the fantasy and horror genres with this book. One of her stranger books, but a good read over all.

starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated The Legacy of Fear: Horror at the Lake (A Vampire Tale #1) in Books

Jan 30, 2018

I loved how this was horror and still had some dark humor to it. The characters and plot were amazing.. I love horror but it's always hard to find a really well written horror story and this one was definently well written. I loved that it kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen and I felt like I had to keep reading until it was finished. I am very glad the author chose me to read this and I cannot wait to read more by this author. Amazing

Less than Impressed

Let’s face it, Netflix needs some work. It’s ability to give you new content to watch kind of sucks, because it assumes that if you watch horror movies ALL you want to watch is horror movies. When are we ever going to get something like “Break out of your comfort zone, and try:”? Instead, even when I’m looking at thrillers, THE SAME HORROR MOVIES POP UP. I get ridiculously irritated with Netflix, and often get rid of it for months at a time until I know they’ve got a few movies on there worth watching.

Formulaic WW2 action horror Overlord (2018) is Nazi movie you may be expecting. #Review

Much less of an out-and-out horror film than the trailers would suggest, “Overlord” is, in fact, a brutal and tense World War II action adventure which belatedly takes a horror turn in its final act.

As stylish as it is, it doesn’t stray very far from the ‘big book of war movie tropes’ as rewritten by Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan” and much of its sound and fury war-is-Hell big moments have already appeared in the marketing...

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Child's Play (1988) in Movies

Jun 24, 2019

A pinnacle of absurd 80's horror

The original Child's Play is a hugely enjoyable slice of 80s horror. It's so silly, that it easy to see how the movie, and it's villain Chucky, have earned their place amongst horror royalty.

The low budget is stepped around pretty effectively, with lots of first person shots from Chucky's perspective, building up to the inevitable reveal, where we properly see Chucky in all his glory, swearing and stabbing his way through the rest of the movie.

It's over the top, silly, violent, and the acting throughout is pretty hammy, but it all works pretty well.

Different vibe to the trailer

Nothing to see here

I saw a trailer for this last year and thought it looked a bit different to mainstream Horror. It didn't get much of a cinema run but as an Eco, environmental Horror wouldn't really appeal to the masses.
Unfortunately from the trailer it looked like it was going to be a rather creepy, errie Horror based on Folk law, old legends. Instead it was pretty basic crazy people in the woods gone a bit trippy. Nicely shot but the story was rather silly in the end.

We all know that the 1970s was a golden age of sci-fi and horror cinema, but what about the decade that came after that?

Syfy: Overlooked Horror and Sci-fi From the 1980's

Some of these films have not aged as well as others, of course, and a lot of them also have that special 1980's sheen. Check out some of these would-be or forgotten classics yourself:
