Book Favorite

"I read these four books in my late teens and early twenties, which may have had something to do with my having been swept away by them--by the sheer poetry of the writing, the sensuous atmosphere of Alexandria, the sexual tension, and above all the mystery and ambiguity."

This is a fairly short book but it is impactful with plenty of tension. It’s got suspense, lots of beautifully written character development, and a good dose of originality – a great read!

1995 | Drama, Mystery
A classic if ever there was, a simple mystery story woven with such style and intricate character development it has you entranced as you attempt to untangle the web of intrigue it builds with great tension, each of the characters is thoroughly unlikeable and stereotypical and the ending is a peach.
  
Jeepers Creepers (2001)
Jeepers Creepers (2001)
2001 | Horror, Mystery
Quite the satisfying and suspenseful horror that builds tension better than most modern films in this Genre.
Creative and very unique although its start takes its influence from Spielberg's 'Duel', the feasting for 23 days ever 23 years is a grand design and the 'Dark' man? is sure to scare.

A great crime thriller as a mafia accountant is taken hostage at his state of the art home. Bruce has to play negotiater while the mafia have his family. Great build up in tension as the clock starts ticking down for Bruce to do his bit and the stakes are raised.

This movie was definitely better than expected. Admittedly, I only watched it because Jack Lowden was in it. But, I was glad in general that I gave it a chance. Of course, the story line wasn't anything new, and there was definitely a Deliverance-vibe. It was suspenseful, and tension-filled.
