Movie Favorite

"The last one I picked was another Lugosi film, so yeah, he is in every film I picked. That’s funny. I didn’t even realize it. It’s White Zombie from ’32, which is shortly after Dracula. It’s an amazing movie. I’m pretty sure it’s the first movie to ever use the word “zombie” — to use that in a movie. It takes place in Haiti, and Lugosi runs this sugar mill and the zombies are his workers and stuff. Again, he’s amazing, but the film is — only really bad versions of it existed for so long, so every time you’d watch it, you go like, “Wow, the quality of this movie is horrible. It looks like a cheap movie.” Then later, when people have restored things and find them, it’s a really incredible-looking movie. Again, it seems very primitive, but it looks amazing, and he’s great as always. If you watch some of the leads and you just watch their scenes, you go, “What is this, like a cute little musical comedy?” Then he comes in. Again, not f—ing around."

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Savage (Ravaged World Trilogy #3) in Books

Oct 6, 2019 (Updated Oct 6, 2019)

This is the third book in the trilogy with Sea Sick and Ravage being the first two; although a trilogy, you don't need to read them all as they work equally well as standalone stories.

Savage is more than your typical zombie apocalypse story, it doesn't focus on the zombies and the usual eating-fest that accompanies such stories, it is more about the survivors and their quest to remain human both literally and figuratively.

I have to say that I enjoyed this trilogy and found Savage neatly finishes the series with satisfaction although not without some losses on the way! There aren't many books that make my eyes leak and I certainly didn't expect a horror/zombie book to do this but Savage did! I think it's because the author creates characters so well you get attached to them and when one of them is killed, it affects you ... well it did me anyway when one particular character met their end.

Well written, excellent characters, perfect setting, great pace and plenty of tension makes this a great read.

VR at its finest

What can I say about this quietly released VR game during a crazy time like this? Well if you were hoping for zombies during this virus outbreak, its here! In VR form at least.
This game has a strange intensity surrounding it the whole time your inside the game. With "walkers" coming at you, people to fight or help and scavenging everything you need to survive, this game packs a punch and certainly delivers a VR game someone can be proud of.
With so many games lacking the length and replay ability, Saints and Sinners looks to keep you hooked as there are so many things to unlock in order to stay alive. Having only scratched the surface if ths game so far, i look forward to revisiting a devestated New Orleans as much as i can. If you love action and horror, and are also a fan of VR then this is the game yoi have been waiting for.
