One not to add to your list
Gave this Netflix original a go. A brother and sister team try to scam people who think they are being haunted. They take on more than they can handle at one creepy location where several girls were murdered.
Not a bad idea for a Horror film but this effort is slow, dull, low budget, without any real scares. Takes a different direction in the final act as well and left little explained really. Check out @The Gift (2000) instead.

I thought I remembered reading once if you rating something you could go back and rate it again in the future; however, that does not seem to be the case. I tried rerating a few movies and it appears my original rating is locked and I can't enter a new one. Can this be corrected? Also, I remember asking once if there is a way to list whether or not I have already rated something when I go to a particular item rather than having to scroll through all the ratings. Any update?

Hi folks - thanks for the feedback on this.

Just some background on this - we were very much noticing that the number of ratings/reviews for non-popular or older items was proportionately low. As you might expect, Smashbombers typically only rate/review items that are recent to them or in some way important to them.

 Daily Missions is there to plug this gap. Users are now offered items that they would often never rate/review otherwise for their opinion. We figured that seeing an item with, say, 10 ratings is more useful than no ratings at all. We then prompt the user to review any of the items they've just rated at the end of the mission, which has worked well.

We are doing some extra work on Daily Missions for the next update (including offering the user more control over what sub-categories to rate/review), but I do understand your concerns with the current scoring.

So, we've have decided to reduce the points given for Daily Missions (down to 1 per mission) making the 'organic' KP that users receive more valuable again. We will also be increasing the daily KP allowance for users to increase the KP flow between users.

As always, I encourage any other ideas on how we can make users want to review items (now we have a much healthier number of ratings coming in) without incentivising them as such (bevcause incentivising content = lower quality).

Thanks as always for the feedback!

Meh
I caved and watched the remake. I regret it. Thre acting and cinematography were fine. The story was just ok. They changed enough ti make it slightly different and added some stuff that was unnecessary for the storyline. Sad part is, this could've been a whole different movie with those added parts. There was potential to have created something new. Instead, they tried to rehash a classic horror film to make money on. The original was great and should've been left alone. Overall, this one is not worth a watch.

Attempts at recreating original scenes
A good film that does 'The Shining' proud. Sometimes sequals can lack luster but Doctor Sleep earns it's place along side it's predecessor. The soundtrack, cinematography and acting make the film very enjoyable to watch however the script is long winded and there are moments when you wish the film would 'get on with it' as it is a bit slow in some places. If you've got a spare few hours and like Stephan King films then it's worth seeing.

Original horror
Junji Ito has an amazing imagination. I feel often in the West the story tellers try really hard to explain every detail. In Japan things can just exist and it's so refreshing and means you can just dive into a story and experiance it.

These are some crazy wonderful stories to give you chills. Stories I've never even conceived before. I'm going to order his others now. It's a must have
  
Spyro Trilogy Reignited

2018 | Action/Adventure
Return of the Dragon
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a beautifully and graphically overhauled remastering of the childhood classic.
Each level remained the same as the original games, including locations of enemies and items.

receiving favorable reviews, The game reached top place in the UK on all consoles in its first week.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is an mesmerizing blast from the past, offering up a taste of late 90s/eary 2000's nostalgia to a whole new generation and a trip down memory lane for the rest of us.

This is a flashback story where the chapters tend to start with a letter home from the front and lead into a memory.
I really wanted to be able to finish this story, but I couldn’t. I was bothered by the fact that they are making Mr. March kind of a shady husband.
The book was adjusting my perspective on the original story of Little Women. I may never be able to read or watch Little Women the same way again, and that makes me sad because it is one I enjoy.
