Very strange...
This collection of 7 silent film shorts are put together in this film Haxan. It's hard to give a plot description in a silent film collection like these. They mostly have to do with witches and the belief in witchcraft through the middle ages up through the time this movie was made. There were also elements of devils and devil worship, paganism, and the occult.

The film tried to make the point some of these people and practices were strange at the time maybe due to not a great understanding of mental illness or psychological problems of those involved.

The way the movie was divided was interesting at times and boring at other times. I definitely enjoyed the sections where there were actual moving images with dialogue cards or subtitles rather than those with still images only.

Since there was no dialogue per say, it was difficult to follow at some points; however, several of the visuals were striking and even a little scary considering this movie is almost 100 years old.

I still rather enjoyed it.

The House at the End of Lacelean Street
By Catherine McCarthy
⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's midnight and in the midst of an ice storm when Claudia Dance boards the bright yellow bus to Lacelean Street, a destination she has never heard of. She has no coat, no luggage, and no clue as to why she left home. In fact, she has no memory of her past whatsoever, and yet she feels compelled to make the trip. She will come to realize that salvation lies within the red-brick house at the end of Lacelean Street, a salvation granted by the strange power that dwells within. Sanity will be questioned, limits tested, and answers revealed… But at what price?

This was different and certainly interesting. 3 people get on a bus with only one destination Lacelean street to a strange house with no other people. During their stay they learn things about themselves and each other. I liked it but didn’t love it. It was a decent read and I would recommend anyone to give it a go.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

A real marmite film
The real problem with the film is the way it has been marketed. From the trailer I was expecting some sort of creepy horror not miles away from Rosemary's baby. Actually it's quite different and uses a lot of symbolism without making it that obvious for the first half of the film. After a bit of research it does make sense and it's well acted. For many though it will come across as a very strange film that doesn't make a lot of sense.

What an awesome book! This book tells the story of the Rosati family who live in Tuscany. It alternates back & forth between 1944 & 1955. During WWII, the Rosatis were seen by the local villagers as Nazi sympathizers & many in their village grew to despise them. Then it jumps ahead to '55 as what remains of the family is stalked by a merciless murder who slits the family members throats & the extracts their hearts. All the characters' lives weave together in strange ways. This book will hook you from start to finish.
