Book Divas (227 KP) rated Broken Dolls (Broken Dolls, #1) in Books
Dec 12, 2017
What an amazing read! I was unable to put this book down and read it in one sitting. This is a fast paced and intriguing read with just the right amount of the creepy factor (duh, it is about dolls after all.) I found myself making so many assumptions about what was really going on and I was entirely wrong. So wrong that once the truth came out I was blown clear out of the water.
Broken Dolls is a unique and creative story and you will certainly not be disappointed. I'm extremely happy that I stumbled upon this author and I eagerly await the release of the next book.

Could've been so much better
This could've been a fantastic dark and gruesome tale, and although parts of this were quite creepy (always the scenes with the hollows), I feel like Tim Burton has really missed the mark with this one. The film only has a very vague resemblance to the book, and it's very irritating that they've changed so many characters and so many scenes for no reason. Some of the acting and script seemed stilted and not well executed at times, and the pace was far too slow. The effects were good though and it did have potential, it's just a shame Burton couldn't pull it off.

Some of the deaths are great
1,2 Freddy is coming for you
I love the original film and while I think a remake wasnt needed, certianly not one that involved Micheal Bay, but Freddy maybe needed to be updated.
However mid way through this film they had a chance to tweek Freddys back story, make him a character you could sympthaize with but thats far too much like thinking for a Micheal Bay film.
Jackie Earl Haley follows up his turn as Rorasach in Watchmen with a very creepy performance as Freddy.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Lenovo Star Wars Jedi Challenges AR in Tech

I've had this AR set since my birthday last June. It is beyond fun, you utilize an app @Star Wars™: Jedi Challenges on your phone in the AR headset to play.
I have to say, it's very creepy to have Darth Vader projected into your home and having to fight him.
The lightsaber is comfortable to use and the AR set is comfortable. Though, you wouldn't want to play this game for more than 45 minutes at a time because it becomes a little unnerving.
There are three aspects to the game, battle strategy, holochess, and, of course, lightsaber battles. I absolutely love this game and highly recommend it.

Compared to many Slashers I've seen lately, and that's quite a lot, this was pretty good. From the same director as the Wishmaster and starring Tobin Bell of the Saw films. It is a bit slow building up to the kills, but when they come they are quite gory and different to the norm. A bunch of uni friends head out to one of the kids big house out in the desert looked after by the creepy caretaker. The house has a dark history involving a family curse, gold and murder. Good production value and a decent cast raise this above most straight to DVD slashers.

Not bad
As far as horror movies go this one was pretty good. A creepy "what if" superhero movie. The acting was ok and the cinematography wasn't too bad. The story was unique so I appreciated that. It unfolded well enough and had a few jump scares but it's the idea they were trying to put in your head. The "what if someone as powerful as superman was evil" really would be a scary thing. The ceo factor read here and it had a couple "gory" scenes so may not be great for kids. Otherwise I'd definitely say this is a good one for movie night. Worth a watch.
Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated Wayward (Wayward Pines, #2) in Books
Mar 15, 2018
I wasn't sure how the author would be able to top the sense of suspense that came along with the weird mystery at the center of the first novel, but somehow he has done it. Even knowing the secret of what the town is, there is still plenty to discover about the things going on behind the scenes, and just how creepy they can get. The characters are still very engaging and the twists are still both plentiful and plausible, while the suspense keeps things moving along at a brisk pace. If you liked the 1st of the series, be sure to check this one out as well.

Creepy and unsettling
Being in the horror category I was expecting this film to be different, to me it was more like a thriller. I liked the way this film was made, it seemed at the beginning like the relationships were forced, but I think that added to tension leading to unsettleness as the film went on. From what I read I wasn't really sure what to expect, I also didn't know what was real at first. But I found it compelling but without connecting with the characters, watching from the outside. The story was good and I like the way it progressed albeit slightly slower than expected.

I want that 1:30 back
Contains spoilers, click to show
You watch the trailer and you think "Hey, this looks kinda creepy." So you decide to give it a shot.. you invite a friend over and you watch and ..now you don't think that friends ever gonna come over anymore because of your horrible taste in movies. Look, this could have been a solid little scare if they had focused more on the Hitker occult mythos rather than over used tropes. The only hatred I have is for this movie
I want repress the memory of watching this like that ex Nazi oppressed his daughter.

Surprisingly scary
I need to be frankly honest, last night was the first time I ever watched this film and I'm a little ashamed to admit it.
As far as classic horrors go, this one is pretty good. Yes it is a typical 80s film and to say it's a little dated would be an understatement. It is surprisingly scary and creepy, and the effects are very impressive for the time. It does go a little bonkers in parts, to the point where it had me wondering if it was a dream sequence as opposed to the actual film (it wasn't), but its still a very enjoyable film.
