Worth watching
A beautiful movie with enough gore and mystery. This movie will make you question who's the villain for most part of the film, and you will not expect to see what you will see near the end of it. It is not action based with rivers of blood, but it will do its best to scare you and make you shiver from every sound.

With what is quite a crowded genre chock full of below average vamp flicks this one injects some much needed originality.
It's clearly made on a smaller budget but the effects are very good and the attention to detail is a good reason to catch this one, acting could have been better from some of the actors, however Sam Niell is quite the menacing blood farm CEO, worth watching!

Percy Jackson sets out on a quest to save Grover the satyr and possibly Camp Half Blood as well. I had a few issues with the plot being episodic and a tad too much like the first one, but over all I enjoyed this second book in the series.

Essentially a horror novel within a fantasy setting, this is set in the same world as Simon Green's earlier novels "Blue Moon Rising" and "Blood and Honour"; albeit about 10 years on from "Blue Moon Rising", with the odd reference to the events of that (better) book.

It's also pretty much rote stuff: there's nothing really outstanding about this book that would make it stand out from the crowd.

Watership Down (1978)
Watership Down (1978)
1978 | Adventure, Animation, Drama

"A rare animated film that has the agility to balance melancholy, terror, beauty, and heart with grace. Has more to say about the human condition using hand-drawn rabbits than most live-action films do with flesh-and-blood homo sapiens. They used to show this around Easter on CBS—I love that. The dreamy impressionistic backdrops. The wonderfully gratifying finale. The song “Bright Eyes” gets me every time. "

This story was so sad, but it made me more angry than anything. Just the thought of what happened all those years ago, the devastation and horror, honestly gets my blood boiling. As depressing as this it was, for Sarah and Julia, I didn't cry, which was what I wanted, but I was still moved. The ending felt lackluster, yet it was real, raw, so any other ending wouldn't have fit.

Dont judge a book by its cover
I thought I was really clever and sussed a twist but I was absolutely wrong. Emma Mason has bravely attempted a colloquial style novel, very hard to achieve well and yet achieves it with aplomb. Brilliant twisty narrative about twins and resentment leading to murderess blood lust. There are so many crime books it's refreshing to read something a little different. An incredible debut.
