Tension (0 more)
This is a great horror book that had a slow tension and you don't want to read on the lonely road. The cheery voice of Buck Hensley interrupts the late night drive of our narrator, and leads us down a rabbit hole of short stories containing urban legends about other people's encounters and their rules.
It's a creepy read. There are three different fonts that are used Italics, bold, and regular so it's a little confusing at the beginning until you get used to it. Definitely something new.

Good cast (0 more)
A decent Netflix original film about the Iranian Embassy hostage siege in 1980. It keeps the tension building nicely to the end and has a good cast. Maybe suffers a little from knowing how it turns out.

A fairly good thriller if very predictable and seriously lacking in any tension or suspence. Quite gory surgery on show and the actors do a good job just far too obvious an idea really but still worth a watch.

"A film so effectively panic-inducing, I never want to see it again. A master class in building tension and holding it tight for impossible lengths. Adam Sandler breaks loose in every scene. The role rips right through him."

Great tension again in this hit by Liane Moriarty. Easy to read and very honestly written. (0 more)
Lost a couple of stars for being ever so slightly predictable - although still plenty of surprises for readers so kept a high rating! (0 more)
Scarily relatable.

Good story
Cool French action thriller
A decent French action film I stumbled upon. Likened to Taken it was very good, with a simple plot with some good twists. The action doesn't let up and tension builds very quickly.

A classic about high school and enjoying life.
Classic lines, good drama, you really feel the tension of life with these characters except with Ferris, who lightens the whole film with exuberance. Great escapism. plus a great alternate movie poster.

Amazing retelling of classic novel (0 more)
I absolutely adore Charlotte Holmes, Mrs. John Watson, and Lord Ingram. Truly a brilliant retelling of a classic mystery with unexpected twists, unexpected hilarity, and enough romantic tension to stay on the edge of your seat.

I love emergency service dramas
If there's one thing America does well, it's emergency service dramas, and I love them all! Good cast, lots of tension and excitement, and the characters are endearing - I'm very involved!

Friend or foe
A solid entertaining film. It has a good cast and big production values, with great attention to detail. There are some good action scenes but the tension wracks up very well towards the end.
