Actually creepy, had to switch on lights
It takes a lot to usually scare me, but I am rather impressed by Peter James' first venture into the spine-chilling horror genre. There were actual moments where I had to turn on lights and look over my shoulder.

There are several moments in particular that makes your heart leap as the suspense builds, one near the beginning with Jade and her friend on Facetime, two near Chapter 42 and the vicar, and three with a scene containing a sledgehammer.

And while I feel there is little resolve, not really understanding what happened to the male protagonist in the end, it's helpful to remember all classic horrors end with a sense of unease.

So today I finally got round to watching 'Split' and found it entertaining.

James McAvoy as always is a brilliant actor and each personality he plays is perfect.

The lovely Anya Taylor Joy portrays a beautiful scare girl who has a history and her interactions with McAvoy are joyous (sorry for the pun) and kept me gripped.

The overall feel of the film, kept me gripped and has made up for M.Night Shyamalan terrible films between this and Unbreakable (especially The Happening - that was terrible).

Of course it wouldn't be one of his movies, without him playing a small part.

I recommend this film to others and look forward to waching the sequel 'Glass' shortly.

Yesterday, I saw the movie based on the series of short story collections that inspired future makers of horror. It affected me so deeply that I decided to skip a Rifftrax screening. The actual film collects multiple horror tropes: haunted house, creepy hallways, reanimated corpses, spiders, supernatural serial killer, books. Most of the stories startle, but never terrify. The creature designs are phenomenal. The ending is kind of a letdown after all the thrills. However, one story completely disturbed me. Not the story or the creature, but the style. It used a lot of anticipation and narrative, but never showed much of the horror. It just built up tension and had one huge scare leading to a horrifying "ending" for one of the characters.
