Not bad
So I've seen all the other movies from The Conjuring series so I had to see this one. It turned out pretty good. The acting was as good as the others and the cinematography/effects were really good. The story started ot a little slow but once things started happening they kept on going. A little predictable but still got me with a couple jump scares. The creepy factor is definitely there too. All in all if you liked the others you'll like this one too. Worth a watch!

A Pleasant Surprise
OMG! I can't believe I spent the day reading this book. I must admit that I honestly didn't think I'd get through this read because at first, I was a bit bored. However, it didn't take long before I realized that I was eagerly turning the pages.
Hanna is super creepy, truly disturbed and knows just how manipulative she can be. Witnessing the dynamics of this young family through the author's writing style was truly a pleasant surprise and I recommend you give this book a try.

Evil Superman
This had a good premise, what if a person from another world arrived here with superpowers... But was evil. There are quite a few nods and scenes that will remind you of Superman. Clearly the inspiration for this film. It's definitely something original to have a horror like this. It is quite gory in places, fairly creepy but not scary. You'll find it fun if you fancy a horror film with a twist. Although it still left quite a lot of ideas to be explored.

Before there was Toretto, there was Riddick.
One for the old-dark-house/monsters-from-outer-space lovers :)
A passanger ship crash-lands on a supposedly colonised planet. The inhabitants are all mysteriously missing. Turns out there are other inhabitants on the planet, no one knew about.
Ship's passengers find themselves suddenly dependant on the nasty mass-murderer previously chained up in the hold.
Nothing earth-shatteringly original here, but it's good creepy entertainment delivered well.
And Riddicks eyes are waaaayyy cooler than anything F & F served up 😆

Mitchell never fails to amaze me. Slade House is gripping! I read this within 2 hours, not even putting the book down for dinner.
Combining several separate short stories to create one entirely tantalizing plot, Mitchell doesn't leave readers unsatisfied. As the book goes on we find out more about the two mysterious beings creating lifelong destruction in the equally mysterious Slade House and as we find out more, we wish we hadn't.
Creepy, thrilling and beautiful, this book is an excellent read for any horror genre lovers!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story once I'd gotten closer to the end. To begin with, I found this a little clunky to read, things didn't seem to flow so well but once Jakob appeared in the story things started to become a little clearer and things got a little more mysterious.
It's a pretty easy story to predict but its gorgeously creepy and, in the end, very well presented.
I'm loving short stories at the moment, they often bring me a lot more joy than the full-length books I read.

Jennifer Connelly
Creepy Dark Crystal-esque Nostalgia with an Alice in Bowie-land feel.
I'm not going to say this film is great, it's actually just ok, but like Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Connelly seems to make everything a little bit better. My adolescent self will tell you much much better. The puppet work is fantastic, and of course it is with Jim Henson at the helm. Most people don't know this but it was a commercial flop. But since then has become a cult favorite, which is where it should be.

A decent Thriller
A very entertaining thriller which is slightly weird and very creepy. Apparently entirely filmed on an iPhone. This does make the visuals look a little less polished but also enhances the overall feel of the film. I wouldn't say it's scary but it does have a slight claustrophobic feel as the main character seems unable to do much about her situation. There are a couple of plot holes you might need to ignore. Overall though a good thriller and something different to the norm.

My husband and I watched this at the cinema this afternoon. My husband was amused by it but I thought it was very funny and laughed out loud at parts. The humour was right up my street, no toilet humour, farting, body parts or childish sex jokes here, it was created within the couple's interactions and their personalities. The creepy neighbour didn't even have to speak to make me laugh at him and his awkwardness. It was slightly farcical in places but all in all a well written and worthwhile to watch film.

I feel kind of bad for Crimson Peak, for one, it was marketed completely wrong. Universal marketed it as though it was a horror movie, when it couldn't really be farther from it. The inspiration for it was Rebecca and the Mysteries of Udolpho, it was a gothic romance. I liked Tom Hiddleston and Mia Wasikowska in it, but Jessica Chastain... I have nothing nice to say about her performance.
The twist was.... creepy. I can't help but wonder what the film would have been like if Benedict Cumberbatch hadn't dropped out.
