Book Rating

This was an incredible suspense/mystery with abit of sexual tension thrown in. The chemistry between the two main characters was really well developed as were the characters themselves. The complexity of their relationship had as many twists and turns as the plot. What makes a book great in this genre for me is not being able to predict what will happen and Hunter definately achieved that with this story.

I could not finish this book. I hated everyone except the dog. I found the casual talk of rape and pedophilia disgusting. Even the consensual sex acts often started with the protagonist peeping on an unknowing female lead. I understand that it is horror but it wasn't scary to me. There was no suspense, no chills, no one I wanted to remain unscathed from the mysteries of the canyon.

Another decent Netflix original!

Another good addition to the Netflix originals! Love supernatural films and this popped up on my ones to watch! Plot was not what I expected when I watched and left me wanting more. A couple of moments where I really did jump kept me on the edge of suspense.
The actors/actresses have done an amazing job and will be looking for more of their work.

Kate (355 KP) rated Hammer House of Horror in TV

Not watched for a long time but still remember staying up to watch it and certain episodes still stick in my mind about thirty years later. These were the start of horror movies and with things that go bump in the night catch up on the old series. Not so much horror but plenty of suspense and going to bed with the light still on even probably now.

Ok, but not the most thrilling.

As a huge fan of John le Carré, and have enjoyed many other film/TV adaptations of his work, I couldn't wait for this one!

Unfortunately, on screen it felt particularly dull. Series like The Night Manager, and even the early TV adaptations featuring Sir Alec Guinness, this series failed to capture the mix of excitement and suspense the book provides.

Brilliant 3riller

This could of gone so many ways, people had all kinds of expectations but in my view it delivered, there were thought provoking parts of the story and the absolute put down of the modern day super hero in a world that is super obsessed was just right.
Casting was perfect and the intense suspense elements were done in ture creepy junpy MNS fasion.

Way things are revealed

The premise of the book and story is really good and I loved the twist at the end. However the story is revealed through others telling the main characters what happened which felt a bit unrealistic which took the shine off a bit for me. Its a bit far fetched but still well worth a read.
