Kristina (502 KP) rated Bad Karma (Criminally Insane, #1) in Books

Dec 7, 2020

So much potential. This story had the potential to be something different, chilling, memorable. Unfortunately, it was vaguely interesting. My attention swung between bored and engrossed, without the demanding need to know what happened next. My favorite chapters were those from Agnes' point of view; it was eerie to step into the mind of a psychopath. True, there was some gore, but nothing worse than Karin Slaughter has provided. Overall, I enjoyed Bad Karma, I just think it could have been so much more.

Eerie pieces of oddly beautiful art

Limbo and Inside are games that I would show to someone whilst trying to prove the point that videogames are a legitimate art form. Sure they aren't pretty games like Journey or Abzu, but they are works of art nonetheless.
If you like shooters and explosive action games, then this might not be for you, but if you are a fan of the horror genre and are willing to try something a bit different, then you should go play through both of these right now.

Strange

A very strange and quirky film. It has some scenes filmed in Scotland high streets with the cameras hidden whilst the public walk past Scarlett Johansson, in a wig, unnoticed. Even featuring a couple of people in the film who were just volunteers really to take part.
The score is good and helps with the eerie feel. The main problem is that the film doesn't seem to know which direction to take. It does turn quite dark suddenly as well. More well known for other reasons.

I saw this one on Amazon. It was pretty creepy once it got past the slow start. The storyline itself was pretty interesting. It was ultimately about secret governmental testing on people in the past. The characters were ok. Not a lot of depth to them but the acting is mediocre. The effects and camera tricks could've been a little better but they conveyed everything well enough. Overall I'd recommend it if you're into creepy ghost stories. Worth a watch.

The one. The only. The classic.

One of the original boogeyman films is still a classic. Some common horror elements used even now originated in this film and still work.

No CGI or campy effects in this film, just raw suspense. Certainly not a hugely bloody or gory horror movie, it relies on light and dark and some use of the "jump scare" before it even had a name.

I can't get the eerie theme music out of my head!

Time to rewatch!
