Rather bland 80's Slasher

Well thought I'd give this old early 80's Slasher a go. Most slasher films of the time are very similar to this. Plain stalk and slash stuff. There is quite a lot of character build up for a change though. It has a couple of scenes that stand out and a couple of attempts at humour more in line with Slasher films of the 90's. Sadly though the killer is rather dull and without any real motive it seems. The scariest thing about him is his hair cut.
One for those who enjoy 80's Slasher films, even if they are quite bad.

The use of the ‘n’ word

I could not finish this story

I checked it out from the library on a whim.I hated this, I got to the point where I didn’t want to see if the book redeemed itself.
I’m sure other people will like it, I’m just overly sensitive about such things.
There also was a lot of swearing, almost to the point of being off putting, but I am willing to look past that, just not the racism and the way Lisa’s family treated her after her stroke.. if it wasn’t a library book, I would have turned that book into a junk journal.

Movie Rating Watch

You still can't even come close to the original Jumanji movie, but as a sequel to the modern version, it wasn't as bad as some people claimed it was. It's silly and cheesy, but the characters were in a video game. I thought they did alright for a second round of this movie. Lots of jokes about being old and not really understanding the game situation that they were in, but the jokes made sense for the characters. A lot of the same types of peril situations, but it was the same game that they went back into. Overall, it was still a fun movie to watch, if you enjoyed the first, or the premise of the story.
