The Lock In is a funny, entertaining story about three housemates and a boyfriend who accidentally get locked in the attic. It’s the morning after a a heavy night of drinking, and Ellen wakes up to find the kitchen is flooding - and she doesn’t know how to turn the water off. She assumes the stopcock is somewhere in the attic, because hey - that’s where everything is, isn’t it? Now this concept may seem far-fetched, unlikely even, but I have lived with people when I was a student, who would have thought that this was the logical place to put the stopcock. After all, everything important is in the attic, isn’t it?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

One thing leads to another, and the three housemates (Ellen, Alexa and Jack) along with Ellen’s date from the previous night (Ben), end up locked in the attic with no way out, and no phone signal! Their only chance of attracting attention, is by shouting out of the sky light to passers-by. Which would be great if someone actually walked down their street!

And as for the toilet situation (because out of everything, this was my first though - it’s very important, actually!), Ellen finds herself having to use a box!

They’re all funny, interesting and engaging characters, and when Ellen realises that she and Ben have ‘met’ before and things become very awkward, they still remain nice people that I’d be happy to spend time with (just not in a locked room, thanks!)

This is an ideal pick-me-up book: I think I smiled and laughed from beginning to end!

Rust Creek- call its self a psychological horror film when its not. It is psychological but not horror. I would call it drama, suspense, thrilling and survival but not horror. I mean it is scary to see the main charcter get abused by the other charcters but not pops out and scaries you. Other than that it is a good survival movie.

The plot: Sawyer is an ambitious, overachieving college student who has a seemingly bright future. While on her way to a job interview, a wrong turn leaves her stranded deep in the frozen forest. Suddenly, the young woman who has everything to live for finds herself facing her own mortality as she's punished by the elements and pursued by a band of ruthless outlaws. With nowhere left to run, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with an enigmatic loner who has shadowy intention.

My only problem with this movie is the GPS. So in the movie the GPS reroute's her to the middle of no where and thats how this whole movie happens. Is because her GPS reroute's her. I thought that GPS story would go somewhere, like the charcters that abused her or policeman hacked her GPS to go to the middle of nowhere and that why he GPS rerouted her. Nope, it just reroutes her and thats it. It borthers me, cause if the GPS didnt reroute her, than the whole would of never happen, but since the GPS did reroute the movie happened.

Other than that its a really good survival movie.
