2019 | Drama
I was excited to view this film when I first saw a trailer for it. The concept seemed very interesting. Sadly, the execution was a bit off the mark.

I stand by my belief that the actual story is quite good and original. But the amount of time taken between relevant scenes build a story that really doesn't need to be told and ends up mudding things up to a degree that when the movie ends there are more questions than answers.

Acting was good. Visually pleasing. VERY SLOW throughout most of the movie. Give it a go if you have unyielding curiosity, a few extra hours, and a desire to be left wanting.

We came, we saw it, it kicked ass! My mind is like a ghost trap and the memory of this night will forever be captured and stored away, never to be forgotten. Between sharing my love for Ghostbusters with my niece and just all of the nostalgia surrounding the movie, it made for a very emotional night. Ghostbusters: Afterlife was worth the wait, and like a bunch of library books, it stacks up to the original. It's so freaking amazing! I loved everything about it! If you're a big baby like me, then have some tissue to keep your tear streams from crossing. And make sure you stay until the end of the credits.

Now I have to say that I’ve been looking forward to seeing The Meg ever since I first saw the trailer a while back and at the time I had no idea that the movie was based on a series of books by Steve Alten, with this movie based on the first book, “MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror“, suffice to say I’ll be grabbing some of them to read very soon. Shark movies have become a little stale of the last few years and to be honest they have never thrilled me as much as Jaws, but The Meg certainly adds a whole new twist to the shark movie.

Thundercats .... Hoooooo!!!

*sword kerching sound*

The Thundercats was a childhood favourite of mine, so when I saw this on sale (in 2025), I thought I might as well give it a go.

Pleasingly, this requires no foreknowledge of the cartoon, with this starting right at the very beginning, with the Thundercats fleeing Thundera whilst being pursued by the Mu'tants and crash-landing on 'Third Earth', to find that their leader Jago has perished in the journey and that his son 'Lion-O' hibernation pod has malfunctioned so that Lion-O is now fully grown.

They have yet to directly encounter Mumm-ra the ever-Living.

I think I'll keep an eye out for more of these.
  
Dead by Daylight: The Saw Chapter
Dead by Daylight: The Saw Chapter
Simulation
The Horror-Survival game Dead By Daylight has taken the immersion of Horror themed gaming to a new level with the release of the SAW content DLC. The game casts players as one of four survivors or a killer who must work with one another to survive and escape random locales. Players must locate and repair various generators to escape all the while avoiding a deranged killer who will be stalking their every move.

Players can play characters inspired by “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Halloween”,” Nightmare on Elm Street” and other films and uses random locales like Haddonfield, swamps, asylums, and so on.

The killer must locate and eliminate players by wounding them and carrying them to a hook station where they can attempt to impale and eliminate players. Players can try to free themselves but may damage themselves in the process and other players face the choice of helping free or heal injured players or using them as a distraction to complete tasks needed to escape.

Players do not have any weapons and have to use pallets to slow the path of the killer or take advantage of cabinets and cover to hide from danger.

When the killer strikes, players are informed of where other players are in need just the same way that wounded players and those working on generators can give away their location.

Playing a “SAW” Themed map did result in me getting caught and fitted with a Bear Trap but I was able to escape and find a way to remove the trap. This was key as the killer had me firm in their grasp when the exit opened and thankfully I was able to wriggle free and escape.

Playing as the killer is lots of fun as I was able to twice eliminate all who encountered me which required some hard choices and brutal tactics.

Players are able to access new abilities as they go on and this helps them survive. Players can also get objects like a flashlight and toolkit to help them make repairs and blind the vision of the killer.

While the game is not what gamers may expect from a major studio release, it is a fun distraction that allows players a great horror experience with their friends or other gamers online.
