Some creepy moments
Disappointing
I was looking forward to this British Horror as it looked a bit different to most horror films.
Unfortunately the early part of the film relies too much on jump scares and loud noises. The first horror tale was eerie but not scary. The second was more creepy and uneasy, although cut a bit short I felt. The third was ok but then it starts to get a bit weird.
I didn't like the ending much and thought it took something away from the film by changing the whole feel of the film. Something of a marmite film I think.

You will cry
"If you don't cry, then you are a psychopath" is what my girlfriend said to me before starting the film.
I don't think Emilia Clarke actually acted in this film, I think we see how funny and quirky she is in real life.
As with most British films we have plenty of humour, some drama and some sad bits and this film delivered on them all.
It is a great film, very well acted and shot in some stunning places.
I am not ashamed to say that I did cry at the end and challenge anyone to say they didn't after watching it.

When I grow up, I want to be Hit Girl!
I really like this film, and I’ve watched it more than once! It’s very cartoonish in its delivery, and that’s just fine by me! Although that is kind of counteracted by the extreme violence and the language (I have to admit that I laughed A LOT when Hit Girl uses the ‘C’ word - I think that’s a British thing, possibly ??♀️) .
I’ve no doubt this will get watched again in my house - I have two teenaged boys who have been brought up in a house of graphic novels and superhero/ Marvel/ DC movies, so it’s a strong likelihood!

Considering it was based on a true story it wasn't bad but just was very very boring

The setting
A guilty pleasure
If I’m honest I probably shouldn’t give it top rating, because, it’s a twee, daytime tv, light hearted crime drama that is over cutesy... That being said, I love it almost as much as my favourite Brit drama, Death in Paradise... It is a charming break from all the violent dramas that pepper our screens these days, the main 3 cast members really work well together as a mismatched pair of Investigators and their wannabe thespian assistant Sebastián. A supporting guest cast of actors who have cropped up in many British dramas bring the whole show together a treat...
