Netflix original thriller. This movie turned out way better than expected. Really good acting and cinematography. The story unfolded beautifully and was pretty intense. These friends made some bad decisions on their hunting trip and it came back on them pretty hard. Not really a movie for kids, but nothing too terribly graphic. REALLY worth a watch!

A pretty decent thriller, although not surprised it was straight to DVD. Saying that it does have a strong well known cast but just has a low budget feel to it. It's watchable especially if you like any of the actors but just not as intense or gripping as better thrillers. Called Butterfly on a wheel in the UK.

<i>I received an ARC from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review</i>

This was a fast paced and very thought-provoking read. It was believable, dark, intense and mirrors numerous true life events. I highly recommend this book to those that are interested in family dramas that are gripping and well constructed.

This is a great game to determine if you will enjoy more story driven/intense board games. Easy to find and play, and very fun if you enjoy getting into the story of the board

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) Feb 12, 2019

I saw some guy took all the pieces and replaced them with scooby doo charectures, would that make the game better or worse?

Man, this was REALLY intense and scary for me.

I wish it was a little shorter and that the book moved along at a quicker pace (story-wise) but it was a suspenseful and intriguing read. Add that together + a lackluster ending and you get an exciting book that falls short of something a little more thought out.

So fun
Like the first one, this movie is full of interesting characters, intense action, nifty gadgets, "serious" humor and an incredulous plot. The acting was great, the cinematography was really well done and the story played out beautifully with plenty of twists and turns. If you enjoyed the first "Kingsman", you'll enjoy this one. REALLY worth a watch!

"Not so much a film about tragic loss as one about obsession. Intense, disturbing, and affecting. A film not easily forgotten. I’m not sure I actually liked any of the characters—but I felt for them. I thought about The Vanishing for days after watching it. It still creeps into my thoughts when I least expect it."

"Intense soundtracks can feel intrusive and distracting, but these feel like perfect uses of (nice ‘n’ loud!) familiar songs in film. I’m so moved to happiness by the way the characters’ boiling-over thoughts, hopes, and dreams seem to be broadcast out of their internal lives and into this remarkable world created by Wong Kar-wai."

"So well made, so clever, you have to laugh—perhaps the cleverest thriller ever. What I especially love in Hitchcock is the level of social detail: you get an intense feeling for the time, the place, the social structure, and all social forms. The two cricket-buff characters went on to have their own series of films."
