Took me out of my comfort zone

As an ardent crime-fiction reader, I was surprised how much I loved this psychological thriller. I read it with a friend and we were gripped with the characters. Although it was a bit confusing at the start, after a few chapters it became a plausible read. Definitely took me away from my reading-comfort-zone. I even enjoyed the film....though that should definitely be viewed after reading the book.

This book. I don't even know what to say. It's been compared to Gone Girl, but I don't really think they have that much in common. I preferred the ending in this one, I like people to get their comeuppance. I felt bad for the main character, Rachel, I mean she had her issues, but I feel like deep down she's a good person. Anyway, if you like psychological thrillers, I recommend checking this one out!

Watched a good "psychological horror" flick on Amazon called "Static". The acting was decent. It starred Sara Paxton and Milo Ventimiglia. The cinematography was, ok, but the storyline unfolded really well with some really good twists. Starts out slow but picks up nicely. No gore or nudity. Entertaining enough to get through the whole thing. If you pay real close attention, you might be able to figure out the ending ahead of time. Worth a watch!

A True Brit Gem...

From the jarring intense sound of a car smash followed by opening title I was in... A bonafide True British Gem with all the hallmarks of a true Seat of your chair Psychological Thriller begging the question "what wouldn't you do?". Tense powerful performance from leading man Matt Hookings surrounded by a top notch supporting cast, In this beautifully crafted, gorgeously shot and expertly executed independent must see movie... It's a strong Recommend from me!!!

Paton Smashes it again... Must Watch

A fantastic Low Budget Psychological horror that shows us that the monsters lurking in the woods are not necessarily the scariest thing imaginable. Director Tom Paton turns vampire movies on there head a little while showing complete respect to the genre and giving us something new. Fantastic performances from the leads that really pull you in and have you on the edge of your seat right till the conclusion. Great Flick... 5*s
