Riding The Bullet- is a underrated psychological horror thriller film based off of a stephen king novel.

The Plot: Ever since his father passed away, art student Alan Parker (Jonathan Jackson) has been hypnotized by thoughts of death. After his girlfriend, Jessica (Erika Christensen), breaks up with him, Alan attempts suicide but is rescued by his friends. The next day, he learns that his mother (Barbara Hershey) has just had a serious stroke, and he sets out to hitchhike to her hospital. Along the way, he meets a series of strange people, including sinister George Staub (David Arquette), who may be Satan.

Its psychological, horrorfying, thrilling, chilling, spooky, terrorfying and super underrated.

I would highly reccordmend this movie.

Punishment and Toture
Misery- is one of my favorite Stephen King Novel's turned into a movie. James Caan and Kathy Bates are perfect in this movie. Its twisted, horrorfying, suspenseful, mysterious and more.

After a serious car crash, novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) is rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who claims to be his biggest fan. Annie brings him to her remote cabin to recover, where her obsession takes a dark turn when she discovers Sheldon is killing off her favorite character from his novels. As Sheldon devises plans for escape, Annie grows increasingly controlling, even violent, as she forces the author to shape his writing to suit her twisted fantasies.

I would highly reccordmend watching this movie. It is a excellent movie.

Casting... So well done (1 more)
Stuck to the story a biOerall, I wa t better than the first
Not too shabby... But not great either
Overall I was impressed with this vision of Stephen Kings amazing novel.
Not half as good as Chapter 1... Chapter 2 offers way more jump scares than the first. But the level of acting by the adult versions of The Loser's Club did not measure up to their child counterparts.
Bill Hader pulled of. a Ritchie that compared well to Finn Wolfhard's version. Loved the banter between him and Jack Dylan Glazer.
Musschetti pulled of another visual masterpiece with effects that amazed my eyes including Stanley's head as a spider... That made me chuckle...
Check this one out folks... Well worth it

Is there anything that can be done to improve the search facility? I've found it seems to struggle finding certain items or doesn't show them first in the list of possible results, despite the fact that the item should probably be the most popular.

Most recent example is the book Christine by Stephen King. It finds the movie with no issue, however searching under books just brings up page after page of authors named Christine rather than the title itself. In the end I had to find it by searching for the author & looking under his list of books.

This has happened a few times with other items, not just books. Anything that could be done to improve or prioritise results would be useful!

Don't loose your place
Stephen Perkins introduces us with another gripping tale of political intrigue, magic, and physiological thriller. This is my second book written by Stephen Perkins and to be honest I did not believe he had another great one in him but he completely surprised me with this story. He takes you and enveloping tale in the world that has been changed and destroyed and what is left is a dystonia society focused on the sustainability of all and where magic reigns. It starts its tale in 2063 in a prison where an old Jim Keogh telling his prison guards about his dad and telling them the truth behind the history they believe they know. Mr. Perkins unique writing style pulls you into the story where you have to pay attention and take your time or you will miss definitely miss something important; it is definitely a book you can read more than once and find things you did not see the first time or even the last time. You will complete all the three hundred and sixty-two pages and not even realized you have read so many the way he pulls you in and you experience exactly what the characters are and you have that feeling like you have been truly their and experienced as they have experienced. The way he ties all the events together in his writing makes you wonder if he knows something about the geopolitical environment that no one else knows. Perhaps that is the point the wonder behind his ideas that make you want to continue to see where the story goes.
