Firm Family Favourite
This has become a firm family favourite. We love the concept of this game and play it regularly. It has become quite evil at times when we have blocked someone from completing their route and consequently losing them loads of points. This devilish part of the strategy adds a very competitive twist to a really fun, intense game.

Entertaining
I finally watched it. It was exactly what I expected- lots of action, betrayal, wicked villains and an intense story with lots of impossible situations. While this wasn't the greatest movie in the world it was highly entertaining. Sly and Ahnold do well together. I may be a little biased having grown up on their action movies, but my opinion here stands. Not sure how this one has sequels but I'll probably check them out, too. Worth a watch!

An irban legend - reinvented.
Remember the urban legend?
The wedding day game they turned deadly, I guess it is "till death do us part". After the vows are complete, and she promises to be his for ever more, the bride finds herself caught in a deadly game of hide and seek with her newlywed husband's edgy family.
Honestly, this film, for me was a great watch. It was intense, and I have to admit, some scenes had my anxiety spike through the roof.

Short snappy thriller
After seeing the trailer I was looking forward to this creature feature. Especially as it's produced by Sam Raimi. It really is a bitesize treat. Under 90 minutes long but it's very intense as a Father and Daughter are trapped in their home during a big hurricane, surrounded by hungry Aligators. The acting is good, the sets impressive and the 'gators look realistic. Much better than many other bigger budget films on a similar theme.

Just watched the first episode and right from the start it's interesting and really starts the story with a great premise. The cast is great and there are some scary and intense moments that are incredible. It is also set in the time of Jim Crow laws and draws some important parallels about the fact that Lovecraft was a talented writer, but was incredibly racist. The storytelling for the premiere episode is great and it left me wanting more. Overall, great show.
