Copycat by Alex Lake is a great psychological thriller full of twists and turns that will mess with your mind. It’s a disturbing story of revenge written at a good pace with interesting characters. I admit it’s not the best psychological thriller I have ever read but it’s pretty good and well worth a few hours of your time.

My thanks to the publisher, HarperCollins UK, via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

A human story in a thriller
I am pleased to finally hear a realistic thriller with no conspiracy theories or bizarre government involvement. It is dark to hear the level of stalking and apathy, but it is about the sides of emotion that people present. There is a twist at the end that completely changes the entire story. Difficult to say much without giving it away, but you'll end up hating but changing your mind about the characters.

Silly B Movie Thriller
Well from the trailer this looked like a whacky oddball thriller. Octavia Spencer is good as the creepy Ma who doesn't mind the kids partying at her place, so long as you keep to her rules. It had a bit of potential but ultimately the ending was a bit of a predictable cop out. If it had been a bit darker and shocking it could have been a lot better.

Great Thriller

A great cat and mouse thriller in a way, just leaves you guessing who is the cat and the mouse. Some might find it a bit dark in subject matter etc, with some of the scenes as well. How far is the girl prepared to go with her scare tactics. Almost like the little red riding hood tale with the roles reversed, notice her top? Great acting from the leads and quite thought provoking.

A great little English thriller on a low budget. I thought this would be an average at best straight to DVD offering, but was pleasantly surprised by it. I think the grim, everyday low budget feel to it added a touch of realism to it. The tension is kept high throughout the film and without it becoming too unrealistic. Yes it's a bit like Roadkill, but also another little known film called Shuttle. A very entertaining thriller!

Enjoyable lighthearted thriller
I only saw a brief trailer for this but it sounded like a decent thriller with its more comic moments. The plot is most like that of @Gone Girl (2014) but not as dark in content. I enjoyed it although the final act is quite busy but it draws to a good conclusion after plenty of twists and turns. The 2 female leads make the film good for me.

So I thought this was going to be more of a locked room sort of thriller, people trapped on an island, lots of secrets and murder but the way it was written was just a tad flat for me, but a fairly solid thriller.

I guessed most of the "big" reveals and the various POVs had that frustrating hiding what they know while narrating things going on. I mean it was OK but just that really.
