"I would say that one of the most profound memories was when my mother – who was film fanatic and loved thrillers – took me to see Rosemary’s Baby when I was nine years old. The film had a huge impact on me and, of course, scared the shit out me! I certainly wouldn’t take my 10-year-old to see Rosemary’s Baby. “It is a masterpiece in terms of the way it uses the language of movies and it directed me towards Hitchcock and that kind of visual storytelling, and thrillers in general – or maybe more psychological thrillers. So that was my first and most memorable movie. It was the psychological fear and oddness, the oddness of the characters; I remember I didn’t even understand it all when I first saw it. Visually there were so many things that I hadn’t seen before that have stayed with me."

Absolutely give it a go.

If you are not already acquainted with this series, and you are a fan of horror and/or psychological thriller fiction, this is an absolutely perfect place to start. It is written in parts, detailing Asakawa’s investigation of a set of mysterious murders and the discovery of a far greater curse. No part is so long as to drag on needlessly, though some are rather short.

This psychological horror movie was pretty good. Decent acting and cinematography. The storyline played out well enough, though quite a bit of it was unbelievable. That the kids went along with so much was hard to accept, but the villain was played well. It moved along rather slowly at first but heightened to a pretty intense climax. Overall, for my fellow horror/ thriller fans, this one is worth a watch!

This was an intellectual horror. Andrew Pyper did a good job working Paradise Lost by Milton into this novel. It almost makes me want to read the full text of the poem - but not quite.

If you are looking for a gory horror story, look elsewhere. While this does have a few icky moments, most of it is psychological.

Even after finishing it, I'm still wondering...

Do you believe?

Never looked at business cards the same again.
American Psycho is one of the best Psychological Thrillers, Black Comedies, and Horror movies to date. Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman so well that even though he is a psychopath you just can't help but like the guy even though you kind of want to punch him in the face at the same time.

Definitely, add this to your need to watch list.

Extremely interesting
Took this book on holiday with me and could not put it down! Managed to read it very quickly. So interesting to learn about forensics and pathology! Behind the scenes of crimes that ordinary people would not realise. Read about interesting cases as the forensic/pathology/psychological/detective work that goes into solving such crimes. Fascinating! Clear chapters also. Including some pictures!
