This is a story about a 10 year old boy named Jack. Jack has Aspergers and is misunderstood by other kids and adults. To complicate things, he has a major fear of the outside and will not leave the house at all. Recently, he has been enthralled with drawing. Drawing monsters... Very eerie! I won't say horrifying, but it was definitely good and creepy. It starts off easy, and gradually it gets harder to put down. The ending was ALMOST abrupt, but all of a sudden was a perfect ending. Also, this one takes place in Maine!

Eerie Thriller
At last a very good suspenseful thriller in a similar mould to What lies beneath, The Number 23, Secret window. I wouldn't put this in the horror category although it has a few jumps along the way. A take on of a Korean film called A tale of two sisters. I really enjoyed this and thought it was a well made film with a good cast. It has a nice twist towards the end, although suspicious minds might make it out? Overall a very enjoyable film. If you like this type of thriller go see it soon!

Decent Horror
An ok Horror based on a short Stephen King story. Definitely has the hallmarks of a Stephen King creation. Very atmospheric in the first half, creepy while playing on the fear of those dark spaces when the lights are out. The creature, when you finally see it, does look scary. Although I think most will spot early on some clues as to how it will pan out. A few too many jump scares as well, most of which you can see coming. Still an enjoyable film overall.
