Fabulously deceptive, deliciously dark
Park Chan-wook has pulled another delicious thriller out of the bag after his Vengeance Trilogy and Stoker. It is dark, filled with violence and sex, but the cinematography is decadent and the vivid colours spill out of the screen.
The story itself is filled with twists and turns, even tying your stomach in knots watching it. It's a question of who betrays who? Which of the characters are con artists?
I love the fact that there is a strong female presence in this film like Park's other stories. Absolutely gripping.

Cool location
OK Sci-fi Thriller
One that nearly slipped under the radar at the time of release. Either due to the not so well known cast or budget. It does have some dark twists and throws up some questions on the subject of A.I. Worth checking out if that interests you.

Happens in Vermont!
VT author - wonderful thriller
Loved this book! I picked it up because there aren't that many Vermont authors that get very popular, but McMahon has definitely been getting popularity. I couldn't put this book down after I started reading it, and I couldn't read it in the dark alone! Definitely a good sign.
Give it a try!

A brilliantly entertaining psychological thriller
A brilliantly entertaining psychological thriller, I loved , loved , loved this book and got great enjoyment out of reading it !! It is An easy five star rating and of course would whole heartedly recommend that you read it. Well worth the money ! I am keeping my copy and it is going on my shelf of amazing books ! The author delivers a brilliantly crafted intense psychological thriller grabbing you from the first page to the last. Gripping, riveting, and maddening, the author takes readers on a twisty, dark and scary journey. A page-turner which will keep you on the edge of your seat turning into the night. Emotional and addictive and would make a great lifetime movie. Left me wanting more. I would love to see more of Cass and maybe her end up with Janes husband.

Darkly funny thriller
A truly binge worthy show. I got through the 8 episodes in just a few sessions. A mix of cat and mouse spy thriller as a Mi6 agent tracks a female assassin. It has plenty of often dark humour to go with it. The first few episodes made me think of the Hitman 47 game as the assassin goes to great lengths to make their hit. It slows down a bit for the last couple of episodes and the storyline became a little bit odd. Overall though it's a very enjoyable, classy series.

This House Isnt a Home
You Should Have Left- is a really good psychological thriller. Yes its about a normal house that isnt a normal house. From the outside its a normal house, but once inside its different.
The plot: Strange events plague a couple and their young daughter when they rent a secluded countryside house that has a dark past.
I do recordmend watching it.

A brilliant film and great ending....for now at least to this trilogy. Dark, gritty and brutal it doesn't feel like a comic book action hero film. It's more a harsh crime thriller! I thought Anne Hathaway was well cast as Catwoman as is Tom Hardy as Bane. The only problem I had was understanding everything Bane said through his face mask, at times the voice doesn't seem to match the villain? Only small minor gripes though, still I have to add The Dark Knight is still my favourite of the 3 with this a close second.

Kept at the edge of your seat
What an amazing book! Dark,clever and thrilling! My favourite read of 2020
I read this book not realising that it was part of a series but I felt like if you didn't want to read the books in order than you don't have to.
The story lines are different but same characters are used.
The chapters are short, but captivating
This book was an amazing read and I can't wait to read more of Cavanaghs books as he is now my favourite author.
I recommend if you love a good, dark thriller

I didn't know too much about this film before I saw it. Just saw the cast line up and gave it a go. Only now after watching I can see what all the controversy was about. It's a re-make of a '76 film of the same name. A dark, disturbing, brutally violent yet gripping thriller. The violence towards women in this film was quite shocking and didn't need to be as graphic as it is. Otherwise this is a good thriller with a few twists along the way as a deputy sheriff in a small town has one psychotic episode after another trying to cover up his previous mis-doings!
