The story makes you keep reading to see what's going to happen next. (0 more)
The ending...the story suddenly stops. Definitely needs a sequel. (0 more)
Contains spoilers, click to show
The books is really good and it is nice to get both the mother and the daughters perspective things. You get an insight into why the daughter does the things she does.
The ending is not good...the book suddenly ends and you are wanting to see what happens next. It also is left open for a sequel. As the book was only published last year there is definitely time for a squeal. Would of preferred to read it if I could read the sequel straight away (if there will ever be one).

The Grudge's Ring
If you liked the ring remake, than you will like this movie. Its good, its scary, haunted and creepy.

The Plot: Matthew Williams (William Mapother), his wife, Jennifer (Clea DuVall), and mother, Emma (Grace Zabriskie), are Americans making a new life in Tokyo. Together they move into a house that has been the site of supernatural occurrences in the past, and it isn't long before their new home begins terrorizing the Williams family as well. The house, as it turns out, is the site of a curse that lingers in a specific place and claims the lives of anyone that comes near.

Like i said, its scary, creepy and haunted.

This novel was a slow burn. The alternating timelines and somewhat unreliable narrators were reminiscent of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. However, throughout the story, you can’t help but become invested in these characters and their well-being. Although some situations and decision were frustrating and seemed to lack common sense, one could identify with the multiple roles and characters found in this book. At times I was the mother, the impatient and emotional teenager, the wronged boyfriend, the insecure best friend, the admirer, and many more. The need and desire to find out what happened will resonate with everyone and, in the end, the story will be just as satisfying as it was heartbreaking.

Not even gabriel byrne can save this movie
Hereditary- at first looked good from the trailers, but the trailers mislead sometimes. The trailers really mislead this movie. Overall some parts were good, others were bad. It seem like the first half was slow and the second part really jumped over 10.

One of my favorite actors gabriel byrne who by the way is a fair underrated actor couldnt even save this movie.

Im not sure, who this movie is for?

Is it for people who like these films....
1. The lobster
2. The killing of a sacred deer
3. Mother!
4. The cell

If so this movie is for you. Its weird, creepy to watch and overall disappointed.

Ancient one
Nicolas parsons
Probably my favourite 7th doctor story it's got everything drama suspence good monsters and the makeup on the ancient one superb. Plus the doctor at his most darkest manipulative using people like a game of chess including ace who has to face her future in the baby girl Audrey who might be her mother. and special mention goes to Nicholas parsons whose not normally known for his acting but here pulls it off as the rev Wainwright overall good story one of the best I've seen as fan. As I reviewed the VHS version on blu ray it looks just as good as it 30 years ago

Incredible book
This was the first proper dystopian teen book I had read (well before the film's) and I really enjoyed the complexity and reality the author gave to the story, how the mother struggled with her husband's death and what this meant to a family living in such a cut throat world. I loved how you could see why she was doing what she did, that she never planned to get out alive when she saw who was going in with her and how she wasn't the 'darling' of the book nor a 'princess' to be looked after.

The ending of the series was a let down but this book is great to get your teeth into

Twisted Fairy Tale
Gretel & Hansel - is a decent movie, it has good scaries, good suspense, good thrills, good psychological espects and thats pretty much it. I mean the story is decent, but it could of been better.

The plot: When their mother descends into madness, siblings Gretel and Hansel must fend for themselves in the dark and unforgiving woods. Hungry and scared, they fortuitously stumble upon a bounty of food left outside an isolated home. Invited inside by the seemingly friendly owner, the children soon suspect that her generous but mysterious behaviour is part of a sinister plan to do them harm.

Sophia Liillis was good, the source matteral was decent. I just wish this movie was better.
