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.

Watched another creepy "horror" flick on Netflix called "The Eyes of My Mother". It was in black and white and was in both English and some little Portuguese (though it took place in the US). VERY strange story about a girl growing up in a quietly unhealthy environment and how it affects her. Not really as "scary" as it is mesmerizing to watch. No flash. No fanfare. The story just unfolds in one monotone-ish style, but keeps you watching to see what will happen next. Worth a watch!

I really do love what Hayao Miyazaki creates. It's like any movie he puts out is gold. This movie is really wonderful. The characters are spectacular, and the animation is simply magical. I loved this movie a lot & I love the slightly creepy (Forest Spirit by far the creepiest) characters you meet as well.

FYI: If you're a parent looking for a new movie, please know that this anime is filled with violence & there is a reason that it is rated PG 13. It definitely relied heavily on the gore as well.

Book Rating
This is the first book to actually crack me up in years. Even if you don't like all the stories, everyone is bound to find at least a few they enjoy (even if you just read the zombie stories). The zombie stories range from creepy to romantic to just plain hilarious, and because they're short they're a great pick-me-up at the end of the day. Due to the mature nature of some of the stories I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone who has not yet entered high school.

The Grudge's Ring II
The Grudge 2- is a decent sequel, if you like the first one, than you will like this one. This one is scary, horrorfying and spooky. Not to mention creepy.

The Plot: A young woman (Amber Tamblyn) encounters a terrible curse while searching for her missing sister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in Tokyo. The evil imprecation fills its victims with murderous rage, but it also brings together the diverse group to unlock its secret and save their lives.

Overall it is a good movie and a decent sequel.

One not to add to your list
Gave this Netflix original a go. A brother and sister team try to scam people who think they are being haunted. They take on more than they can handle at one creepy location where several girls were murdered.
Not a bad idea for a Horror film but this effort is slow, dull, low budget, without any real scares. Takes a different direction in the final act as well and left little explained really. Check out @The Gift (2000) instead.

Omg!
I watched the whole 1st series in two days.
Wasn't expecting much from this but I was hooked after the first 10 minutes.
Joe seems like a normal guy meeting a girl at first but it gets really creepy really quick. Not only is he watching her through the window he also has access to her iCloud so can see every conversation between her family and friends.
Can't wait for a second series to see how it continues now his Ex is back.

Absolutely stunning show. I loved it as much as the book. Normally I tend to prefer the book over the tv show/movie but I thought this was well done.
