Fantastic!!

This is a great retelling of Sleeping Beauty. The characters are so well developed and likeable that you can connect with them. There are some scenes that may scare young children. Otherwise a fantastic and emotional at times movie.

Kudos

Tim Gunn recommended The Case of the Midwife Toad in Books (curated)

"Please let all Creationists read this book! Koestler’s biography of a pre-Darwin evolutionist is a fascinating and riveting read. And don’t let the title scare you; the book is eminently accessible (or I wouldn’t have survived beyond page two)."

The remake we needed!

Definitely enjoyed! So many scenes actually had me jumping from my seat, which is normally a rare feat! There were a couple moments that lacked, but overall highly recommend!

Fun but full of holes

This is a good fun jump scare horror which is let down by predictability and huge pot holes. However it's not enough to spoil the fun.

David Markey recommended Carnival of Souls (1962) in Movies (curated)

"Herk Harvey’s ahead-of-its-time 1962 low-budget film would be the template for many horror films to follow. But to call this simply a horror film would not do it justice. It will, however, scare the bejesus out of you!"

Frederick Elmes recommended Carnival of Souls (1962) in Movies (curated)

"The images in this film still scare me, though I’ve seen it many times. I first watched it late at night, alone, in my empty apartment. The story isn’t that compelling, but the juxtapositions of frightening images will keep you up all night."

I'll admit that this one confused me a little which made me zone in and out every so often, so that would have affected my enjoyment. This was a short creepy read, quite original and well written but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did 'The Woman in Black'. I like a good scare but this just didn't give me the scare I was hoping for, no goosebumps and the story became too predictable towards the end. Perhaps due to it's short length it came across a little flat, however, considering how short it was it was an ok read.

It was entertaining, and it had enough scares and tension beyond the common jump-scare that it wasn’t a total failure, but if you want to see a good horror film, this isn’t it.

Another Disney Classic that is full of song, action, danger and fun. The voices chosen for the role are perfect and the story line does not disapoint. Not for the little kiddies because of the high danger and scare it can throw into them.
