Exceptional drama exploring paranoia and hysteria
I remember having to study this book in drama during my school days, which made me become fascinated with the Salem Witch trials and its parallel politics. It is a dramatised and partially fictionalised story of the trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692/93.

The play explores paranoia, the power of superstition and mass hysteria. It shows the dangers of using a scapegoat to fix problems in society. Classed as one of the great American plays along with the likes of Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Miller wrote the play as an allegory for McCarthyism, when the US government ostracised people for being communists.

Many prominent people became victims of the Red Scare, Arthur Miller was one of many people who came to the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee. In his play The Crucible Miller drew comparisons with the Red Scare and the witch trials of 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts.

Truly an awe-inspiring and essential read.

Puzzles aren't super challenging
I really enjoyed this game, though it wasn't especially challenging. The atmosphere is super creepy, however I scare easily so other people might not find it spooky enough.

I loved how things n the environment would change randomly, which unnerved me even more. I thought the storyline was really intriguing, and enjoyed piecing it together bit by bit. The game had PT vibes.

I was shockingly wowed!
The original tv movie was a classic horror movie in its own right but this one is a masterpiece. When it was over I was wowed by the factor that I honestly didn't think this movie could top the original tv movie but I have been wrong before and this new take on Stephen Kings IT was thrillingly crafted into a masterpiece. We need more horror movies like this.

I was wondering how anyone could give this a 2 rating. Must be an accident.
