Good killer costume (3 more)

Quite gory

Inventive kills

Lots of twists

Slightly silly plot at times (0 more)

A good Slasher series

I can't think of any other serious attempts at making a series of the Slasher genre, I've not seen the Scream one yet. This has a good go at it. Only 8 episodes long. It has a striking masked killer bumping people off in a variety of gory ways in a small town. There are some good twists but some plot lines felt a bit silly. Definitely one for the Slasher fans to check out.

A simple if entertaining action film. A plot that has been done quite a few times now, this time based around a group of assassins taking over a small town every 7 years for a battle royale to find the last one standing. Tons of action in this, some good fights, chase scenes and stunts and quite a bit of blood. The standard of the cast including Ving Rhames, Ian Somerhalder of Vampire Diaries, and the pace of the film raise it above average. Very enjoyable eye fodder!

Death from above

A rich woman (hedren) who is really in love with her beau (taylor) follows him to a remote town in California where out of no where all kinds of birds from small to large begin to attack and reek havoc on the towns people.

Out of the mind of Hitchcock comes one of his more scarier tales. From what I have read that after the first screening of the movie a lot of the viewers screamed when a flock of birds happened to fly over them

So I recently discovered Bone Tomahawk. I don't want to oversell, but really great movie. I have to warn you, though, extremely brutal scenes make it not for those with a weak stomach.

It's a western starring Kurt Russell who plays a small town sheriff who embarks on an extremely dangerous rescue mission after a few townspeople are kidnapped by brutal, savage neanderthal Indians.

The journey is wrought with peril of every kind until his posse meets up with the savages, then all hell breaks loose.

Highly recommended.

This is a sweet story that also deals with some difficult issues. The main characters were developed and their stories plausible. The fact that both had to deal with bullying from the same family might seem unbelievable to some readers but if you grew up as the poor kid in a small town it is very realistic. I was a bit surprised by the ages of the main characters because just reading the description made it seem they were adults. That said I will read more by Tudor and this is a quick, enjoyable read.

This novel was thrilling and enthralling! I could not put it down. The characters are believable and relatable. The minutia of small town law enforcement is enhanced by the enormity of the crimes being committed, more so because no one is convinced they are really occurring. I like the way the author portrays a victim and the aftermath of the horror she survived in its banality since it is probably as real as it would get. I enjoyed the different characters and the plot was interesting and well developed. The twist ending was excellent!
