Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated Outpost (2007) in Movies
Jun 19, 2019
Ok acting. Ok cinematography. Rehashed story about finding an abandoned Nazi place where they experimented to create "supersoldiers" by mixing science with occult. This one was not too bad but not great. I watched the ele thing through. No happy ending here. That being said if you're into these sorts of horror films you'll probably enjoy this one too. Overall, it could've been better, but it could've been worse. Worth a watch if you can't find something else.

The inspiration for the Ron-Perlman led movie(s) of the same name, Hellboy - like the lead character - is sort of a strange mix: in this case, of the occult with the medium of the graphic novel with a very Cthulu-like monster at the end of the tale.
I also have to say that this is proof that Marvel and DC aren't the only two publishers in the world able to produce compelling and enjoyable reads!

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated House of Salem (2016) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
House of Salem is directed by James Crow and is a British occult horror that takes the viewer on a journey to a house that has a terrifying history. When kidnappers snatch Josh (played by newcomer Liam Kelly) from his home in the dead of night, they head to a safe house to await the delivery of their ransom money.
House of Salem isn’t the best horror you’ll see, but it’s certainly not the worst.

The Mark
By Lee Mountford
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It isn’t the house that’s haunted…
It’s the person.
Kirsty is no stranger to trauma, but when her house is invaded one night, she is left with a strange mark carved into her skin.
And that is when the horrifying ghosts start to appear.
As the experiences grow more frequent—and dangerous—Kirsty must fight for her life and unravel the mystery behind the occult symbol etched into her flesh. This forces her into the terrifying world of the occult, where she learns of a Bible written by the Devil himself.
Can she save her very soul from damnation?
You will love this gripping ghost story, because it ramps up the fear and doesn’t let go until its thrilling climax.
I clearly didn’t learn my lesson from the last Lee Mountford book! So I read this at night in the dark and it truly scared the living daylights out of me. I actually had nightmares it doesn’t help that I one read it in the dark and two have an overactive imagination. It takes a lot for a book to genuinely scare but that creepy shadow and his puppets from under the bed and stair climbers were enough to do it! Ok so bring on the next one!

This book has a specific audience, and it can be hard to tell if you're a part of it. From the perspective of the confused Christian, it's a great resource. Sanders does an excellent job of describing why people are leaving Christianity for Neo-Pagan religions. She turns a critical eye on her own faith and holds it up to Wicca to figure out the appeal. Where she fails, though, is in thinking she's going to convert anyone. Her proselytizing takes up only so much of the book. I would definitely recommend it for the bewildered Christian, but it certainly isn't an "Occult/Witchcraft" book, as the back claims.
Ross (3282 KP) rated Marcella - Season 2 in TV
Apr 18, 2018
As gripping as series 1
The second series of Marcella sees the slightly manic, depressed, blackout-prone detective investigate the appearance of a child's dead body in the walls of a house being renovated. Following further child abductions or bodies and strange aspects of their killings, the case starts to look like something occult.
The plot includes many more characters and twists and turns than series 1 - many characters and their lives are introduced with tenuous connections to the plot which make you think they could be involved.
The series was gripping throughout and headed to a satisfying conclusion, though with a very unusual twist at the end.

I want that 1:30 back
Contains spoilers, click to show
You watch the trailer and you think "Hey, this looks kinda creepy." So you decide to give it a shot.. you invite a friend over and you watch and ..now you don't think that friends ever gonna come over anymore because of your horrible taste in movies. Look, this could have been a solid little scare if they had focused more on the Hitker occult mythos rather than over used tropes. The only hatred I have is for this movie
I want repress the memory of watching this like that ex Nazi oppressed his daughter.

Memorable Characters
Unforgettable
Never Gets Old
Not the show for close minded people. This show is out there in the best kind of way. I will never get tired of seeing it and nothing is better than sharing it with someone who has never seen it before. I recommend everyone sees this film at least once. This film has an occult following to it thats developed into a culture of its own. The live showings are colorful, fun, and freeing. I recommend looking up the alternative scripit and if nothing else reading along with the show. As if the commentary of the film itself isnt good enough you have a further following from this interactive audience scripiting.

Some genuinely chilling moments (2 more)
Authentic historical setting
Excellent acting
The most chilling thing about this film is knowing that it is based on historical records - that many of the things that happened were things that people of the time genuinely believed to have happened. Whether or not the witches or satanism was genuine is kind of irrelevant, as the true horror came from the consequences of believing in this stuff. The story follows a family who are torn apart by their own internal struggles of morality. It's an interesting piece that I don't think will appeal to everyone, but horror fans with an interest in history, or the occult may enjoys this.
