Could have been so much better
When I first saw the original short film it scared the crap out of me, the whole idea of what is in the dark that we just can't see is such a base fear for most people and the short film played on it so well.

Just like the short film Lights Out played on this fear so well but due to an uninteresting plot and frankly unmemorable characters, they really lost what made the short film so good.

I agree with you 100 percent. This movie had the most amazing marketing campaign that any film could ask for, a scary as fuck short film that seriously messed with your head.
But when brought to full length feature it didn't really deliver. It dropped the proverbial ball so to speak and left me wondering what I just spent 90 minutes watching.
Normally I am a huge Theresa Palmer fan too. She was awesome in Warm Bodies. But for as good as she usually is, she looked kind of lost in this role.
This movie could've been so amazing had it stayed independent in my opinion.

I feel like they suffered from what a lot of horror movies do now a days they simply try to add too much plot and engage emotions that frankly don't really need to be engaged when watching a horror movies, some times the simple route of a boogieman killing people is all we need I don't need some angst ridden backstory. Plain and simple scare the shit out of me and we're good.

Online connection required, even for solo play
The various systems at play, including flight mechanics, are just complicated enough to be believable, while not hindering gameplay. It also helps that the game looks gorgeous, and runs solidly.

solo players beware
Killing Floor 2 is a lot of mindless fun.I say mindless, but it really does take some strategy to be successful. That’s what makes it the most fun.If you’re thinking of going into this game solo,it’s going to be an uphill battle that will quickly get old

Icy cool thriller
Well this seems to have been panned by the critics. Seems a few got the wrong idea and thought this was going to be like The Thing not sure why? ok it's no oscar winner, but it has an original setting for a whodunit thriller. Some of the actions scenes are hard to make out but that was the effect they went for. Overall it's not that bad, it has a twist or two and some action scenes to satisfy most people.

We visited Disneyworld in Sept/Oct last year. I've been a few times before, but it was my other halfs first time. Unsurprisingly it was a fantastic holiday!

So for those of you that have been to any of the Disney worlds or lands across the globe, what's your favourite ride?

For me it has to be Tower of Terror. So glad they've kept the original one in Florida and not changed it! We’re on the far right of the front row in the picture... ?

This film is superb, following the original three games, The Eternal Diva shows style and fluidity matching the games. The scenes are very well done and provide and excellent story that manages to fit puzzles like that of the games within it.

The fact that they have Luke begin the film by acting as a PR man for the first three games is amusing too.


I particularly enjoyed the operatic scenes of the film, as well as the revealing of Melanie's possession of Janet.

A very surreal film
I didn't bother reading any reviews before I watched this Sky Original film. I was impressed by the cast line up and like a noir, mystery film. At least that's what you think you are going to see. It's one of just a handful of films with a surreal twist that will make most people think "are you serious?". Should have just stuck to a normal thriller plot. At least the scenery is nice to look at.

Whimsical Film for the Family
This completely original film meets every dream I could possible have centering around a museum. In short, there's only one dream that I'm sure every kid has had about museums, the idea of those plastic displays and figurines coming to life. This movie takes that idea and makes it into something truly unique. Along with being absolutely hilarious this film offers the perfect escape from reality and a great film that both the kids and yourself can enjoy.

A re-imagining of the themes of 7 Wonders aka drafting and civilization building for a 2 player scenario. I love this game as it utilizes some public and hidden information to make every decision count. The draft setups allow for planning and many different strategies exist. It's a wonderful take on the core themes of the original game and makes it even better! The card quality isn't the best so it's best to get some sleeves for them.

Very good!
I have always had a love for beauty and the beast. It was my second favorite movie as a kid with the Little Mermaid as first. But as I got older, beauty and the beast became my favorite. I loved Emma Watson in this. She did an excellent job of portraying Belle. They did a wonderful job of selecting actors that matched the original animated characters as well. Disney definitely brought it to life.
