After the first three episodes, I was so enthralled by the story, I roped my husband in and started watching from the beginning again.
There were moments where I was unable to tear myself away from the screen, even though I didn't want to look! Parts where my husband and I both almost jumped out of our skins, and by the very end of the series, I think I'd run the gamut of human emotion. I think the most surprising thing of all was just how moving the series was; a few times, I'd been close to tears and in the final episode I was bawling my eyes out!
It is, without a doubt, a must-watch series on Netflix - in fact, it's one of the best shows I've seen of late - but be prepared to hold your breath, hide behind the cushions, and have the tissues ready for the finale.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark brings a backstory to Cassandra Pearson's character Elvira, gothic late night horror hostess. The film starts during one of Elvira’s shows when she receives a telegram telling her to go the reading of a will for a dead relative and, in the events that follow she finds out that she really is a witch.
Elvira is odd in the fact that it is almost in the style of an 80’s teen movie but it isn’t quite one. There are a few teens in the cast but the film does focus on Elvira and other people in the town.
Elvira, Mistress of the dark is rated 15 and is a comedy with a couple of scenes of peril and one jump scare. A lot of the humour focuses on Elvira’s rather ample bosom but in a quite tasteful way, it’s not a ‘Sex comedy’.

Andy K (10823 KP) rated The Babadook (2014) in Movies
Dec 11, 2019
Modern audiences have grown short attention spans even having film studios get rid of opening film credits, so it is refreshing these days when a film takes its time and leaves something to our imagination. I have written in several reviews the last few years that just because modern filmmakers can do something, doesn't mean they should. Modern CGI effects leave virtually nothing a movie maker can accomplish with enough imagination are computer work done to it; however, I still maintain the "Jaws" theory of the less you show the audience the more they have to used their own imaginations and therefore the film's "Babadook" becomes even more scary.
I loved the way the creature was shown mostly in shadow and not really given a good glimpse most of the way through. Even when it presents itself, you don't really get a good look at it and a lot of the scare is also through creepy, haunting sound effects.
I guess I will have to listen to my daughters from now on!
