A Psychological Mindf*ck
I was worried when I first started watching this show. I've seen so many TV shows labeled 'thriller' that just doesnt hold up to my expectations and I find myself neither afraid or thrilled. For the most part I find myself disappointed.
 However, I could not look away for a single moment during this show. The twists and backstorys that unfold are not only thrilling but sends shivers down my spine. The whole show I found myself at the edge of my seat as it takes you deeper and deeper into the mind and past of this single character. I find myself almost adoring the way it would send shivers down my spine and raise goosebumps along my arm. For anyone who enjoys a psychological thriller and are looking for a TV show that can actually hit the mark, I reccomended giving this show a try.

Nolan is a master of dark plots and cinematography
This is a psychological mind-bend of a film bringing together dreamlike sequences as well as action shots. Director Christopher Nolan gives you bits and pieces of information, and as the movie plays out the viewer begins to put the pieces together and the picture gradually becomes clearer. It's intelligent and engrossing, not your average Hollywood blockbuster.

True psychological mystery, as in, you may qualify for a psych degree after reading this. . I didn't figure anything out at all. Just when I thought I had, something changed it. The power of the mind is incredible. I couldn't put this one down once I really got into it. I did get a little confused by some of the twists and psycho babble, but it all worked itself out in the end.

And I thought my family was twisted!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Andrews really puts you into the story and into the mind of Cathy. But there is a LOT of mature content in this book! Wow! Between rape, incest, child abuse, and psychological trauma, you'd think it would be a depressing experience but you're rooting for the kids the entire time! But take it from me...draw out a family tree to keep track of who is who.

Missed opportunity
A slow burner of a horror which is more psychological creepy than really scary. It's very subtle with the scares which come about more from the atmosphere created. Unfortunately the ending felt rushed and fell flat. Also a couple of things just didn't fit in how the characters would act in certain situations.
Overall not bad, but after a slow good build up it falls apart a little at the end.
