Liv Stay rents a Scottish lighthouse on the island Lion Haven, despite the fact that it carries a decidedly spooky reputation involving witch hunts and islanders who have disappeared. She doesn’t believe in these things, and only wants a home for herself and her three daughters. But soon, only one daughter will remain: Luna’s mother and two sisters will have disappeared without a trace.
And then one day, twenty years later, someone resembling Luna’s sister turns up - and she hasn’t aged a day.

This is an eerie, unsettling story, packed with history, ancient beliefs and paranoia.

There are three timelines: the 17th century explains the origins of the witches and their slaughter; 1998 where Liv comes to live on the island with her daughters; and the present day, when Luna returns to the island as an adult. These timelines are expertly woven together, and they explain what has happened in the past to form the opinions of the future.

I couldn’t put this down! The more ominous and creepy it became, the more I wanted to listen to it. You certainly won’t want to be visiting caves or lighthouses anytime soon after reading this!

Welsh lake mythology is some of the most quietly unsettling folklore I know, and I mean that with enormous affection.

The lakes of Wales, in the old tradition, are not passive landscape features. They are active, wilful, and possessed of long memories.

Llyn y Fan Fach gives up a woman of the Tylwyth Teg to a mortal man under precise and fragile conditions, and when those conditions are broken — three times, three causeless blows — she walks back into the water and takes everything she brought with her. The lake doesn't mourn. It simply closes over her again, as though she had never left.

Other lakes hide drowned villages beneath their surfaces, places that were swallowed for a transgression or simply because the water decided to reclaim what had always been its own. On still nights, the bells of those sunken churches are said to carry upward through the water.

There is a particular kind of mythological thinking at work here — one that understands landscape not as backdrop but as character, and water not as resource but as sovereign. The lake gives. The lake takes back. It was never yours to keep.

New way for aliens to be found sort of.
WHat alien movie would be good with out the number 1 alien investigator in Duchovny. Two state college professors come across a meteor that has struck in the middle of the dessert that has an entire alien civilization on it. We see the aliens go from cells to full grown species in very little time and three underdogs have to find a way to destroy the species. Orlando Jones really comes through as the comic relief in a film that I believe to be very underrated.

Awesome Movie
This movie I had high hopes for and it did not disappoint. The acting was superb, nobody overacted or tried to steal the show. Gal Gadot was a perfect casting choice for Wonder Woman.

There was action, comedy and a little bit of romance. It balanced out quite well in this movie. I have watched it three times and each time I come out with something new from it. I hope the other movies in the franchise are just as good.
