Dean (6927 KP) rated The Unborn (2009) in Movies
Apr 30, 2019
A pretty good horror taking into account the PG13 rating? It was better than I expected and is in the same vein as the Ring. It has a few jumpy moments and some of the imagery is pretty creepy. Good effects and well made I just felt the ending seemed a little rushed and wasn't great. Pity as the build up was quite good.

I really wanted to give this five stars, it's my favorite of Austen's novels excepting Northanger Abbey, but the idea that Fanny was oh, so fortunately raised by those who would be her family, that her husband influenced her opinions, temper, and worldview is beyond creepy. I can get over the cousin aspect but the molding of the perfect wife very nearly ruined it for me.

Creepy Horror
This is a a very good Thai horror film along the lines of The Eye, The Grudge, Ring. This has also been remade this year into a US version. A lot of the scares and imagery is similar to the other films mentioned, but it's a good story and has some jumpy bits. If you like these style of horrors you won't be be disappointed!

A great Spanish ghost story/thriller which I'm sure said it was directed by Guiilermo Del Toro? I saw the trailer and had to see this. It's very creepy at times, largely due to the spooky location. It's a very good story well told and directed. Reminded me of The Others, The 6th sense most of all, so if you like those you'll love this.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2436 KP) rated To the Manor Dead (Janet's Planet Mystery #1) in Books

The plot was okay, but almost all the characters made my skin crawl. The main character was only okay. The family of suspects were actually rather creepy. I have a feeling the author was going for funny, but it missed the mark for me.

No real story
Well this is so low budget you would think this could have been made by anyone who thought let's make a horror film. It's a real let down with almost no story or dialogue that has any meaning. Just gory kills but the effects make them look silly rather than scary. At least the clown does look creepy.
AT (1676 KP) rated Black Butler, Vol. 26 (Black Butler, #26) in Books
Nov 17, 2019
Coming off of the odd music hall storyline, Ciel and Sebastian finally return home. However, they return home to find a grizzly murder scene inside the Phantomhive estate. A creepy message left at the scene unnerves Ciel, and begins to completely turn the story upside-down. Volume 26 was definitely a welcome change of pace after the music hall episode, which seemed to drag on.

For a movie that's meant to be based on a Stephen king story it's just too weird brother and sister wondering around a field of tall grass which is like a maze and then u got Patrick Wilson as the creepy dad do they find a way out of the grass or not by the end do we care or not

I have no idea as to why I watched this to the end. This was so boring and there was nothing new about this documentary. This was so boring, I got up and cleaned my bathroom, and didn't miss anything.
The choice to do a re-enactment of the dude being in the creepy frat-like Christian org was a bad one. Again, boring.
