Mysterious?
This book was good in the sense that the writing was gorgeous and it flowed well. Also there was some diversity, including an omni character and a lesbian. And that cover!!! oof, that was gorgeous. So, there were your pros. The bad stuff??? I picked up this book thinking it'd have a thriller, kind of psychological, a bit creepy, myterious, the usual. Because of that I loved the flashbacks. I did not, however, like the present tense. I signed up for something gorgeous, not a Scooby Doo mystery. It was slightly predictable as well, I figured out the mystery about halfway through. This book was a decent read, but I don't think I'll pick it up again.

Kinda interesting
Honestly, I think this would have been a better psychological movie than a horror/thriller movie like they tried to make it be. I thought the premise was interesting and it was well casted. However, I didnt like that I felt like there was information that I didnt have. Maybe that comes from not watching the original. But I felt like there was a lot of stuff that was left unsaid or unexplained. Like for example, in the beginning, courtney tells the group what she saw and what it felt like, but we didnt see that with the others and their experiences were different. Why were they all different? What affected the outcome?

The Evil Within: Evil Spirit Inside
Diary of a Madman - is a good psychological thriller that started Vincent Price.
The Plot: When Judge Simon Cordier (Vincent Price) goes to see Louis Girot (Harvey Stephens), a prisoner he sentenced to death, the criminal insists he is not guilty and that he is inhabited by an evil spirit. Cordier dismisses Girot's claims, but he becomes unnerved when Girot lights himself on fire to supposedly end the demonic possession. After the visit, Cordier, beset by insomnia, begins to have odd visions and starts to wonder if Girot might have been telling the truth after all.
Its psychologically twisted, horrorfying, terrorfying and overall a good movie.
