More treat than trick
This definitely plays tribute to the original in many ways. With certain scenes, settings and especially the music. These are nice touches and definitely tie it in as a new direct sequel to the original.
I was surprised a lot of the kills weren't that gory and quite often not on screen. Often leaving the horror for your mind to image. Overall a good film although the ending felt a bit abrupt, but I liked the little details put in.

By today's standards only one was gory. That's another way in which it's similar to the first.

Hayden is adjusting to her new life and family in destiny falls. Another myster manages to find her and she ends up in a lot of danger trying to uncover the truth!


Another fantastic story that had me hooked on the first page. I really love the way this story flows. The mystery involved gets my brain ticking seeing if I can find out whats going on before the truth is revealed. There is a little bit of heartache involved im glad it doesn't last too long though.


I deffinatly recommend this series, uncovering mystery the warmth of a family and hope - brilliant!
  
An eclectic mix of crimes

Basically what it says on the cover. A mix of different crimes that have been committed over the years some I haven't even heard of. In some parts it seemed like it was a rush to get to the end of the information and in others although it was in someway related to what was written it just slightly seemed to go off track which to me made it a bit awkward for smooth reading.

A very factual book and a lot of research has been done for the information. 4/5

The 80s were a great time for movies and in particular a very violent and at some times black humoured movie from director Paul Verhoeven, yes folks, I'm talking about the original RoboCop.

It's the film that a lot of us still love today, with its story of a good cop (Peter Weller) who is murdered by criminals, in possibly one of the most gruesome cop killings in a movie in the 80s, who is then pieced back together as an unstoppable crime-fighting cyborg, who is tormented by the memory of his death and in turn goes out for revenge.

I don’t know what I expected from this book, but it exceeded my expectations. It was fascinating and Evaristo really shares a lot of herself: her triumphs, her failures, her good and bad relationships. She tells us about the lesbian relationships she had through her 20’s, and talks of her relationship and marriage with her husband. Her determination to run theatre companies with and for black women, telling black womens stories.
But it’s her perseverance that stays with me well after I’ve finished the book. She really didn’t give up, no matter the circumstances.
This is well worth reading.

As a fan of the halloween films since the first film since first watched late night when I was 12 on the tv and liked it a lot then now forty years later we come to halloween ends did I like this one not as much as the previous two entries but it has plenty of gore some good kills but what the movie lacks is not enough Michael myers there is a reason for that but that would be spoilers which be naughty of me anyway good film needed more micael
