Paranoia
385. It Comes At Night. Paranoid much? Something out in the world is killing everybody, so its a good thing Paul, Sarah and Travis live in the middle of nowhere and their very strict lifestyle has kept them alive. And then someone had to go ahead and break into the house and ruin everything. Paul catches the trespasser and after some intense interrogation we learn his name is Will, and further out in the woods is his wife and small child waiting for his return. After things are calmed down, they come to agreement to combine resources and live together. Sounds like a great idea right? Until the end of the world comes knocking! I really liked it. Had a great creepy atmosphere, good acting. Check it out! Filmbufftim on FB
Kristy H (1252 KP) rated The Sun Down Motel in Books
Mar 19, 2020
I actually read Simone St. James’ incredibly spooky ghost story—set in a creepy motel—in a rather drab hotel room and boy did it scare me! The tag line: The secrets lurking in a rundown motel ensnare a young woman, just as they did her aunt thirty-five years before...
This was such a great book. It features a hard to put down mystery with excellent characters and some downright terrifying scenes! The book is packed with twists and turns, and it's absolutely captivating.
The parallelism between Viv’s story—set in the 1980s—and her niece, Carly’s, in present-day, is excellent. I was so attached to these tough women and their stories. The 1980s piece really grabbed me; St. James really captures the era so well.

A Creepy Psychological Film
I am truly becoming a fan of this director's work. This film although labeled as horror does not rely on the typical jump scares and gimmicks of many modern day horror films. Rather he thinks out of the box, creating a whole new kind of horror that focuses on the mind, the psychology of the human person.
This film takes a look at not only the dark psychology of the human mind but the dark workings of society. I wont spoil anything for those yet to watch it but this film will leave you unnerved in a new light, making you think a little bit deeper but only if you really want to. Either way you have a truly enjoyable twisted film.

Jpb (34 KP) rated Halloween (1978) in Movies
Mar 6, 2021
Were it all began
This movie may be as old as it gets, but It has stood the test of time and really like it. No one amazed me more than Donald Pleasance himself as Dr. Samuel Loomis, we all know how much of a legendary actor he is and I have never been more convinced. Everyone else play there roles brilliantly and everything else about this movie was so awesome, but in reality it's normally the characters that get the most credit with Halloween we also need to think and look at the music used and how it elevates the story. You've got to see this timeless classic, it puts the night of Halloween in a pretty creepy but mysterious perspective for all generations. I garuntee it!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Wanted: Dead or Undead (Zombie West #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Forget Cowboys Vs. Aliens, this is Cowboys Vs. Zombies and it's much more fun.
It had a bit of everything I like in a book: romance, adventure, cowboys...and I kinda like zombie books, too (though they have to have a bit of romance in them as well). It didn't shirk on the horror details either with some rather creepy scenes involving one family.
I really liked Trace/Cowboy and Elisabeth/Red. They were both really great characters and I have to say that Cowboy seemed like the ideal guy to meet in a wild west zombie apocalypse. As for Red, she was pretty kick-arse. The secondary characters were cool too.
I'm very intrigued as to what will happen next in the series and can't wait to read the second book in the series.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Drive Angry (2011) in Movies
Mar 22, 2021
I'm pretty sure the thought process for Drive Angry was along the lines of "let's make a film where Nicolas Cage has a gunfight whilst fucking someone, and he's also smoking a cigar, and swigging on a bottle of Jack Daniels" and then they just wrote the rest of the screenplay around that.
It's always entertaining to watch Cage do his thing, and Drive Angry has a handful of fun moments and some half decent ideas, but dammit, it's too try hard in its attempts at bad-assery, the CGI is an eyesore, and this is the second film I've seen where writer Todd Farmer literally wrote himself into a gratuitous sex scene. It was weird the first time, second time its just plain creepy.
Drive Angry is the movie equivalent of an STI.
