Extremely dark, black comedy based on a true story
That scene woodchipper scene will haunt me for life.

Truth is definitely stranger than fiction. This extremely dark 'comedy' is now infamous in gallows humour. Without revealing everything, a woman is kidnapped by a psychotic conman and his slightly weedy partner for ransom. Her husband is in charge of gaining this ransom from his father-in-law, only for things to go very, very wrong.


It's a classic cult film, not for everyone. But if you loved 'In Bruges', this will be right up your street.

Excellent game
This game is incredibly fun. The basic concept is something like a cross between the movie Frequency and Stranger Things with a fun synth score. A group of teens end up on a haunted island in a series of time loops and have to use radios to communicate with the ghosts and break free. It's an easy way to lose a few hours, and then play all over again with a few surprises. This is among my top IOS games for sure.

Hello to Jason Isaacs
Just discovered this series on Netflix after Jason Isaacs was on a chat show talking about it.
I’d describe it as having the atmosphere of Stranger Things but a totally different subject.
A blind girl is abducted but returns able to see. As she adjusts back into her previous life she begins to tell the story of her captivity. But she also talks about her previous life even before she was blind.
And there’s a great baddie in it too.
I’m 4 episodes in and totally intrigued.....

More action
Keeps getting better
You start to worry with some series that start so well, can the next series be as good? Well no worries here as each new series of Stranger Things keeps outdoing the previous one. There are some great characters old and new in this and the chemistry between them is great. There are a lot of influences from some cool 80's films, from The Thing to The Terminator and plenty of others. If you enjoyed the other series you'll love this just as much.

Decent Thriller
Definitely more thriller than a horror, Slasher film. A mix of Stranger Things crossed with Disturbia. A group of friends spy on their cop neighbour and suspect he could be a local serial killer.
A slow burner with very little horror for the most part. Features more on the friendship as they spend the summer spying on their neighbour to try and find evidence if he could be a serial killer. Their friendship is the strong part of the film. So if you like the other shows mentioned you should enjoy this.
