Ok, who has seen The Strangers 2: Prey at Night? The first one was very unsettling and scared me to death. I don't always need a happy ending. Have you ever seen the Dutch version of The Vanishing? So different than the Americanized one.

I'm trying to decide if I want to watch Strangers 2.

Pros: I like Christina Hendricks.
It looks creepy.
Strangers still haunts me and makes me check under beds and in closets before going to sleep.

Cons: It's a sequel. It is as good, nearly as good, or better than the first?
It takes place in a trailer park?
Christina Hendricks screams a lot. Does it get annoying?
The lighting seems darker than the first movie and I don't want it to be so dark that I can only hear and not see the action on the screen. Is it too dark to follow well?

I liked the first one too for the same reasons but sadly the sequel didn’t live up to expectations. It’s not creepy, just bloody and gory. I didn’t think it was too dark & I don’t think Christina Hendricks was annoying. This is my review:

Thanks, Sarah. I appreciate your opinion on this. I'll put it on my movie to watch (eventually) list instead of my gotta see it list.

Best one yet!

Contains spoilers, click to show

Trying to work things out with Nash - her maybe boyfriend - is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can't just pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.

See, Sabine isn't just an ordinary girl. She's a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people's fears - and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives.

And Sabine isn't above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever - and whoever - she wants.

I have followed this series for years now and they have just got better and better. This one did not disappoint! I'm glad she finally gave Nash the boot I've been rooting for Tod for so long!!
Can't believe we have only 2 books left !

The gang is all here

I love this movie, i have seen it about five times. The animation is fantasic, the story is excellent, the charcters look great. Everything about this movie is excellent.

The plot: All is well at Mossy Bottom Farm, except for the fact that the animals will do anything to get out of work. So, Shaun the sheep and his scheming friends devise a plan to put their master to sleep. However, the ruse backfires when the poor farmer finds himself transported to the big city, having lost his memory. Now, it's up to Sean, Timmy the lamb, Shirley the ewe and the rest of the gang to travel to the metropolis and get him back, while not landing in even more trouble themselves.

Its really funny, adventurious, has a message, and overall a phenomenal movie and cant wait until the sequel.

A must watch movie.

Having read "The Fear" and "Sleep" by the same author and absolutely loved them both, I jumped at the chance to read her latest outing and I certainly wasn't disappointed.

Once again, we are treated to an original and engaging story with excellent and believable characters in situations that are only too plausible and all written at a good pace and easy to follow.

The three main characters of Ursula, Gareth and Alice all have interesting and separate stories of their own to tell and you are left guessing as to how they can relate to each other until the dots are gradually connected as the story moves towards its thrilling conclusion.

A thoroughly enjoyable read and I most certainly will be reading more from this excellent author.

Many thanks to Avon Books and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.
