Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dreams of a Dark Warrior (Immortals After Dark #11) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Been waiting for this one for a while and I wasn't disappointed.
Regin has always been a fun character, if a little unorthodox, and I enjoyed reading about her and Aidan's past. I have to admit I was a little upset reading various bits in this story because I was really wanting them to get together and everytime she got hurt, I wanted to scream at Aidan/Chase.
In my opinion that makes it an amazing story therefore 5 fabulous stars!

I was really liking it up until those last few pages which made me want to throw my kindle across the room and scream in anger and frustration. I figured something dodgy was going on with Brooke and the oldest Royal but not HIM. Nooooo. You evil biatch!! You've kinda gone and broken my heart, too, now Reed.
But i really need to know what happens next with this messed up family so off i go to hunt out book 2.

Bailee Madison is a bad ass (2 more)
Great storyline
A sequel that doesn't ruin the original
Some jumps and gasps and WTF's... fun for the whole family
Going into a sequel that is ten years after an origin film is dangerous water to tread into for any horror film fan. Raised expectations can drown out what you are hoping happens and it takes the fun out of the movie for you.
The second installment of The Strangers was not a fun movie... for poor Bailee Madison. She is stabbed sliced and beaten up like she has never been before. Everyone remembers her as the little girl in Guillermo del Toro's Don't be Afraid of the Dark. But in this film she really establishes herself as a young Scream Queen in the making. Defining the Final Girl role in spades.
The Strangers themselves are all terrifying giving the viewer jump scare after jump scare by just popping up at random throughout the movie, causing scream after scream in the filled theatre I was in.
Though I am positive that there will not be another installment in this mini franchise. It would not surprise me in the least to see Pinup Girl, Dollface and The eerie monster, Man in the Mask once more.
If not... the writers have done a great job keeping my interested in what happens in this movie to satisfy my taste buds for gore blood and story... and I hope in all honesty that they don't go to the well again expecting clean drinking water.
8 out of 10 knives to the back with a special twist for good measure.

Kristina (502 KP) rated The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy (Summer, #1-3) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
I loved both The Summer I Turned Pretty and It's Not Summer Without You. I'm not saying I didn't like We'll Always Have Summer, but there were some inconsistencies and typos. The story, as a whole, though, was great. I felt like a fish out of water as I watched Belly flip-flop with her emotions. There were times when I wanted to scream at her, there were times when I wanted to cry with her. It was fun experiencing the love story unfold!

The app, when it works as designed, isn't terrible. The problem is that it rarely works as designed.
Constant automatic refreshes to the feed make reading through the days events nearly impossible. Ads are intrusive. If I see one more notification telling me how to vote I'm going to scream. I've been a registered voter since I was 18. I've never not voted in an election cycle. I should have the opportunity to turn off the notifications that I get three times a day.

A very inferior sequel
It's such a shame that Scream 3 loses the magic that Scream 2 had in abundance.
There's no wit, no humour and the film within a film concept is tired and very poor. All of the new characters are under developed meaning you care so little when they get bumped off one by one. Patrick Dempsey's character is so creepy and slimy in parts that it's laughable and builds no tension or intrigue whatsoever. And even the returning characters have lost their edge, repeating the same old squabbles and experiences as in the first two films. Ghostface too loses his edge here, there's no shocking deaths and the voice changer that can mimic other voices is ridiculous and farfetched. The ending too isn't particularly clever or interesting. The only things I really liked about this film was the brief return of Randy and the cameos from Silent Jay & Bob and Carrie Fisher.
I remember really looking forward to seeing this when it first came out, but it is such a disappointment. It isn't helped by the fact that I spend the entire film wondering what the hell is going on with Courtney Fox's fringe...

The gore
Hello Sidney
Watched today I liked it it alot as a long time fan of the scream movies going back to to 1997 when I first saw the first one and loving it even getting the twist after the first half an hour and seeing all the sequels as well at the cinema over the years the second film is still my favourite of all the five. When I heard the team behind ready or not was gonna make this movie I was excited cause I loved that movie so I knew what I was gonna get with one. Any way on to the film everything I would expect from a scream movie the gore the creepy voice on the phone played once again by Roger l jackson all the talk about sequels reboots and other stuff not forgetting the return of Sidney Gail and dewey it wouldn't be the without them . I also liked at the end when they put for wes a fitting tribute to wes craven. Also once again worked out the twist again but I won't give it away here spoilers

Gripping, difficult to put down (1 more)
The suspense and tension was really well built
I had a lot of fun reading this book. This has been compared to Scream a lot, and I can see why. There are similarities, but not so many that you know whats going to happen. I found it really difficult to put down.

Good killer costume (3 more)
Quite gory
Inventive kills
Lots of twists
A good Slasher series
I can't think of any other serious attempts at making a series of the Slasher genre, I've not seen the Scream one yet. This has a good go at it. Only 8 episodes long. It has a striking masked killer bumping people off in a variety of gory ways in a small town. There are some good twists but some plot lines felt a bit silly. Definitely one for the Slasher fans to check out.

Great opening sequence
The jokes and references to sequels in general
You have to follow the rules of the sequel
He we go again with our survivors of the first film trying to survive the sequel. Another great opening sequence with the premier of Stab. The film in the film based on the murders of the first film. Ghost face is back but who could be behind the mask this time. A great film for Slasher fans.
