Don’t Forget to Breathe
By Catherina Constantine
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Leocadia arrives home from school to find her mom’s body. Unaware that the killer still lingers, she rushes to her mother’s side, only to be grabbed from behind. And everything fades to black.
Leo has been battling personal demons after a year of retrograde amnesia. She’s been having vivid dreams of that day. And her dreams are getting worse—she’s starting to remember. Two more bodies are discovered and they are oddly linked to her mom’s unsolved homicide.
Leo befriends her new neighbor. He’s eager to visit Star Hallow’s notorious haunted mansion. It’s located on a deserted cul-de-sac where she once lived and where her mom was murdered. But it’s the Lucien Estate, the mansion next door to her old home, where they happen upon misty ghosts, ghosts that just might help to unravel the homicides.
Will Leo's memories send her reeling into a relapse, or will she be able to overcome her demons to find her mother’s killer – only to become the next victim?
It was good a very simple story and a little predictable. There was a lack of excitement and spark but it wasn’t a bad read.

Original idea of the killings based on Urban Legends
A cool, slick, Slasher film
This is a cool Slasher film that had a similar vibe to Scream and I know what you did last summer. It was released just after those films. The cast was very popular at the time including Robert Englund of Freddy fame and others from big teen shows at the time. Definitely one for Slasher fans with plenty of twists to keep you guessing who the Killer is, including the obligatory creepy janitor. If you missed it give it a whirl.

Jaw dropping at times but some inconsistencies
There were moments where I actually applauded the writing after finding out another piece of information and twist to this non-stop thriller. The snappy writing allows you to stay engaged with the story and the endless plot turns make it all the more intriguing.
I had a few qualms however. Some of the action sequences were bordering on Hollywood and were totally unbelievable, making Alex Cross seem invincible. And the serial killer narrative that went parallel to the story seemed almost pointless although it was at times even more engaging.

Overrated
I can see I'm in the minority here, but I really thought this film was overrated.
I love Edgar Wright, but I found myself so bored watching this. Yes it has a killer soundtrack and was very stylish, but I found it to be more style over substance. The main plot was boring and I found a lot of the characters to be a little irritating - Jamie Foxx's character especially. The only highlight was the fabulous Kevin Spacey and the few laughs it managed to raise in far too long a run time.

Great prequel to Silence of the Lambs
This star-studded film is a brilliant sequel / prequel to Silence of the Lambs, unlike the other films in the franchise. It's not overly gory and it focuses on character development. The plot is well-done and the acting is superb. Of course Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson and Edward Norton get a special mention. It's a dark tale about a forensic detective attempting to trace a serial killer who has a penchant for murdering whole families all the while 'transforming' into the Red Dragon.

Great first series, extremely dark
If you watch the first series DO NOT watch the second series which is a total let down in comparison. The partnership between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson is absolutely stellar, acting at its highest level. The story is hideously dark, and the two actors, who are fatally flawed, are completely perfect for the role. It surrounds a serial killer who murders young girls in a cult-like fashion, and the coming together of these two detectives after many years to try and finally solve it. A really well done first series.

This was so good! I loved all the characters and how everyone tied to everyone else. I did not see who the killer was until the very end and that's one thing I love about stories about this, when they surprise me. I loved that Jules finally learned the truth about Nell and that she would have protected her if she knew and maybe things could have been different between them. I hope that her and Lena being together will help each other grow and heal. I can't wait for the next book by Paula Hawkins!!
