Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Inside Out (Insider, #1) in Books

Unfortunately, for me, this one fell flat. The storyline didn't pull me in right away (or ever, if I'm being brutally honest) and I didn't connect with the characters or their plight to escape Inside.
I was just determined to not have another DNF so I persevered and finished it last night.
I've also tried reading one of the author's other works and I couldn't get into that either so I think this will be the last and only book I read by Maria V. Snyder

When they arrive at the escape room, they are instantly thrown into the game and they soon discover how dangerous this game is, as they put their lives on the line to solve each room.
Even though the premise of the movie isn't original, I did enjoy it. I thought how each room was designed was interesting and it did remind me of the cube movies, except instead of finding their way of empty rooms, they're finding their way out of actual rooms such as a lobby, a hospital and even an outside area.
The ending I thought dragged on a little, but it did make way for a sequel which I will definitely watch if it is made.

Gareth von Kallenbach (980 KP) rated Don't Breathe (2016) in Movies
Jul 15, 2019
circumstances. The opportunity appears in the form of a blind, reclusive war veteran living in an abandoned neighborhood. They quickly realize that they have underestimated this man.
Don’t Breathe is filled with tension and has audiences confused as to whether they want the trio to survive the night as they go from being the aggressors to the prey of this man as he defends himself and his home from these invaders.
The film turns the horror/suspense genre around and allows for the audience to feel the tension without being too predictable. You feel as limited as the thieves as they try to escape from the house that they have entered. You feel as though, at any moment, they will be caught, injured, or even killed in this deadly game that the blind man has started with them.
The strength of the film is not in gore or shocking moments, it is in the reality of the fear and anxiety that builds throughout Don’t Breathe. The film allows for depth of the storyline and ability for audiences to find themselves conflicted as to whether or not they should cheer for anyone in the film.
8No one is innocent. Don’t Breathe is multidimensional and does not insult the intelligence of its audience with contrived plots and clichés. The film allows us to realize that monsters exist everywhere, even in the most unassuming places and people.
