Who Can You Trust
Idenity- is a very underrated horror film. It has a good cast, a good plot and a good twist at the end. Its psycholoigcal, suspenseful, thrilling, scary and twisted.
The Plot: When a vicious storm breaks out in the Nevada desert, 10 people seek refuge in an isolated motel. At the same time, a serial killer (Pruitt Taylor Vince) under the care of psychiatrist Doctor Mallick (Alfred Molina) -- who has just found the killer's revealing journal -- awaits execution for murdering a group of motel guests. When the storm-stranded travelers realize they are being killed off one by one, limo driver Ed Dakota (John Cusack) bids to stay alive and reveal the murderer's identity.
Its a really good film.

Blurb

After a betrayal shattered his life Matt Fraser withdrew from the world—but he can’t deny Penny refuge. This secret billionaire is reluctantly intrigued as the society princess begins proving there’s more to her than meets the eye…
Review
The reason I have only given it 3 as it was okay but it just didn't grab me like the other Mills and Boon books I have read in the past. I feel I have grown up and want more out the book. I felt I want more from the characters and see more of their emotions. Doesn't mean I didn't like the plot where she was stranded with a secret billionaire Matt he seemed kind and cared for Penny's safety and respected her.
I loved how he was open he was in a relationship before and had a child with her and he was willing to change the house so he's daughter could stay. Penny brought he's emotion out more and got him fighting to see he's daughter more.
I loved how Penny didn't really care that he's a billionaire she didn't fall in love with him for he's money she just felt safe with him and she can be herself around him. I will read more Mills and Boon books and get back into them.
Check the book out for yourself.

I have read a lot of books in my time- a LOT- and have never read anything quite like this one. The premise of it is a fear of many: to be stranded on an island. That fear goes even deeper for the characters in this book because with no hope for rescue, they continued to live their lives as best as they could. When, much to their surprise, they are saved from their island home they weave a web of lies that could break all of their loved ones. The characters are relatable in their flaws and with each secret revealed you feel closer to them. You'll get sucked into this book and when it finally spits you out you'll feel like you'd been right there with them.
Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Darkest Hour (2017) in Movies
Mar 12, 2018 (Updated Mar 12, 2018)
Emotional, dark and guttural
While @Dunkirk (2017) was a cinematic feat, the Darkest Hour was the substance that lacked in Christopher Nolan's work.
Following the month that led to the event in which the entire British army were stranded on the French beach, we see how politics played out and a decision to fight until death was taken. Gary Oldman is a master as Winston Churchill, the raw emotion he brings to the character is spectacular and I found myself becoming increasingly teary as the film went on.
For fans of the @The King's Speech (2010), it has a similar sentiment to it, not only because both characters are involved in each of the films, but each seem to have deep connection to one another. Oldman deserved the Oscar for this.

What Noise Does a Chainsaw Make? Remake
This remake is actually good, its different but its good. Its the first time in the franchise to actully go into a slaughterhouse. Which amazes me.
The Plot: In this remake of the horror classic, a group of young travelers -- including Erin (Jessica Biel), Andy (Mike Vogel) and Morgan (Jonathan Tucker) -- comes across an isolated rural home while driving through Texas. Unfortunately for them, the decrepit house is the residence of a family of deranged backwoods killers, most notably a hulking masked brute known as Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski), who begins to hunt the stranded youths down. Will any of the friends survive the nightmarish ordeal?
Yes this is the first Platinum Dune's horror remakes. Thnkz Michael Bay.
Anyways I do reccordmend watching this film.

Stuggle To Survive
Wind Chill- is a good horror flick, that does have twist and turns all thoughout the flick. Its slow at first, but it does get intresting in the middle and end. Emily Blunt is really good in this film.
The plot: Just before their university campus goes quiet for the winter break, a young woman (Emily Blunt) asks a classmate (Ashton Holmes) for a lift home. The two students set off on their trip and begin to get to know each other. But, when a reckless motorist drives them off the road, they find themselves stranded in the snow on a remote highway. As the night grows colder, the two are confronted by a horde of menacing apparitions -- and struggle to escape with their lives.
Its a good movie.

Unique (1 more)
Funny yet horrible
When it comes to unique comedy/horror, Cabin in the Woods ranks right up there with The Evil Dead, Shaun of the Dead and the other classic comedy horror films.
It kind of a tale of two halves as the standard teenagers stranded in the woods tale starts to unravel with splashes of other scenes which seem unrelated when you first watch them. Then it slowly comes together.
The elevator ride midway through the film embarks the remaining characters on a descent to another world where all sorts of other unique creatures, ghouls and goblins reside.
The climax of the film has to be seen to be believed, but will not be forgotten once you see it. There is no formula here and is truly one-of-a=kind.
