Not just a good horror movie, a good movie

I Love horror, I am not a diehard Steven King fan, although I did try to tackle the book after seeing this movie. I’m used to jump scares and have always had a pallet for the psychological thriller aspect. But I’m this movie all the nit picky details of what makes horror good fade away because the shots are amazing the child actors are hilarious, endearing, and down to Earth. I’ve never appriciated a movie labeled horror more for its cinematic and story telling qualities.

I had heard about this book time and time again over the past couple of years on reddit so when I finally got my hands onto a copy I had to dive in. I love all things horror, and this was the perfect amount of genuine creepiness and true psychological suspense. I've seen a few rough reviews based on the author's writing but I disagree. It was easy to read for me and had just the right amount of emotion in it for me. I would love to see more from this author!

Do you hate your mother-in-law? You'll LOVE her after this.

Though this book didn't really feel like a "psychological thriller," but rather more of a drama, I definitely enjoyed it. There were several points at which I actually said out loud "oh, come on!" - so I'm going to agree with another reviewer in that it might be better if you suspend disbelief a bit before going into this.

I did NOT see that twist coming! It was worth it for that alone, in my opinion.

Thank you, Minotaur Books, for the ARE!

Keeps you on the edge of your seat

This is another one of King's great short stories, up there with The Long Walk. A very insightful psychological thriller, that has, at some points in time, been banned from book shelves. It is one of the stories in the Bachman Books, one that is always well remembered, probably because of the effect reading it has on you.
King delves into the mind of a high school shooter, it's violent and graphic, it is not tasteless. As Bachman King did some of his best writing.

After watching Unsane, I learned the entire movie was shot on an iphone, which is pretty amazing. The movie itself though is just wow! I don't want to say too much about it and spoil it, but I will say it's one of the most effed up movies I've watched in awhile. One of those psychological scary movies that really gets to you because of how realistic the scenario is. While one phone was picked up to film it, I highly suggest putting yours down long enough to give Unsane a watch.
