Peter G. (247 KP) rated Dogma (1999) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
Now this how you do a film about religion, this film manages to carry a message and ask difficult questions whilst being as funny as hell.
It's very smart and intriguing and having Jay and Silent Bob alongside Damon and Affleck who are all on the top of their game making for a fantastic ensemble cast that also includes Alan Rickman on fine form.
Who's house? Run's House!!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2103 KP) rated Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs in Books
Mar 9, 2018
This delightful picture book finds shows the dangers of walking into a strange house. What if Goldilocks wandered into a trap instead of the house of the three bears? It's filled with humor that those familiar with the original story will find delightful. I couldn't stop grinning as I read it.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Ghost of a Chance (Karma Marx, #1) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
Karma Marx has a despicable bastard for a husband and makes a deal for divorce-IF she performs an exorcism on the house he bought.
She agrees and ends up stuck in the house and the evil husband? DEAD. This was a great take on the locked room mystery and I really enjoy it. It's supposed to be in a series, but I haven't heard anything about a second one=(

Contains spoilers, click to show
Ju-on: Origins is the prequel to the original Ju-on The Grudge on Netflix.
The story mostly follows two story lines:
The first is of paranormal author, Yasuo Odajima and T.V. Hostess Haruka Honjo and follows Yasuo as he tires to find the cursed house to write about.
The second is Kiyomi Kawai who is taken to the house by two of her new classmates.
The series shows how curse of the house affects the two main characters but is also interspersed with snippets of the lives of other people who have lived in the house and flashbacks from the memories of other characters and, at times this can make the show a bit hard to follow.
Ju-on: Origins has an 'Amityville' vibe to it but more so, as in the original films the cures is not restricted to the house, meaning that, even if you get out you may not be safe.
The series is very atmospheric but , although there are ghosts it does focus more on the people who have lived in the house which makes this very grim in parts.
There was something familiar about some of the scenes in Ju-on: Origins, at least part of this is due to the original film, the scene where Kiyomi and her friends first go the house is slightly reminiscent of the school girl sequence in the first film although it does go in a different direction.
Now for some warnings. As i said Ju-on: Origins has some grim sequences. It's a Netflix series and, almost as soon as it went on (At least here in the UK) there were complaints about the auto start trailer which skirts around one of the main scenes which involves rape.
As well as rape there are murders (It makes 'American Horror Story; Haunted House' look tame) violence towards women, children, men (although i don't recall any animal abuse), sex and implied, possible incest so you have been warned
