Ross (3284 KP) is asking for a recommendation

Recommend Me
My wife and kids are away for the next 2 nights. It took me almost an hour to choose a film to watch last night and it was pretty dreadful, please help me avoid this again tonight! Recommend anything on in the UK (Sky, Amazon Prime, Netflix) - preferably horror or sci-fi. Thanks!

I was tempted to watch the Evil Dead "trilogy" again but opted instead for Split (thanks Sarah!). It was quite good, McAvoy was pretty impressive.

I don't normally watch these type of films. I am not a lover of sci-fi at all, however, I find Kate Winslet and Shailene Woodley very watchable so decided to give this film a go. It was ok, rather formulaic and went through the motions playing out as you knew it would.

If you enjoy fantasy and sci-fi then this is one for you. Basically about where people can ask for people to carry out their own Fantasies. Finished on a high with rather a strange ending, but it was much better this way then to string it out like other TV series

Not the worst book I've ever read, but not the best either.

Early sci-fi (as opposed to space opera), suffering a bit from the inadequacies of that genre in that sometimes one-dimensional characters are suddenly introduced simply to move the plot along, then seem forgotten about once that event is resolved.

Not my kind of book
I found this difficult to understand, but sure if I'm a little rusty but I just didnt really understand the whole premise. Also not my usual genre so maybe that is part of it. If you like alternative sci-fi then maybe this is the book for you
