Weak ending

OK Chiller Thriller

Been wanting to see this for a while as it didn't get a long cinema run, currently on Disney+. From the trailer it looked intriguing, a smart Thriller different from the norm. I really thought the House would play a bigger role in the plot, some things are hinted at without a great deal of explanation. It starts well and one scene will send a chill down the spine and hairs stand up. Later though the plot starts to unravel in a more trusted way. Probably more in common with the likes of What lies beneath for an idea of the type of film it is.
An OK Chiller, Thriller that had real potential to be something more ground breaking runs out of steam before the end.

Maybe not Terry Pratchett at his best, but having said that: it's still better than many other books I've read!

Ostensibly featuring the wizards of Unseen University, this is really more about life below stairs, focusing more on new characters (who work in the kitchen and 'below stairs') than on the wizards themselves. That's not to say the wizards don't have a major role to play - just that they are not the main focus of the novel, which is also built around the game of 'foot-the-ball' changing from the all-out scrap in the streets it starts out as to the more modern, played-in-a-stadium type of game it becomes at the end, in pretty much the same way that the 'real' game of football (or soccer) grew out of the medieval version.
