If The Mist, Jeepers Creepers and War of the Worlds had a baby

Tragic and very exciting, this film follows one family's attempt to live their lives without making a sound. If they do, they face immediate carnage form mysterious creatures who want to tear them apart.

It just goes to show a good filmmaker can create tension and keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat even without much dialogue. The film is very quiet (obviously) which make the louder scenes in stark contrast even more intense.

I enjoyed more than I thought I would. I say thriller certainly instead of horror.

Kudos

Not having seen the original I wasnt sure what to expect here and only seeing this within the last few weeks has persuaded me to take another look at westerns.
Although a little muddled in places which could be deliberate as the good guy is considered to be bad and the bad guy played by Russel Crowe shows the briefest elements of good considering he kills incriminately at the opening of the movie.
The plot is also quite improbable at times however this is smoothed over by great moments of tension and action.
It's a good movie but not a great one, but entertaining enough for me to revisit the genre.

Tooany point if views

I bought this book after watching the T.V. series. This was probably a mistake. The character of Anna is spot on, as is Mouse and Mary Ann, but there are soany point of views that I was regularly getting lost. The book is dated, understandable as it is 30 years old but I didn't enjoy the storylines with the wealthy families. It was slow in the middle but was wrapped up well. I guess there wasn't enough hooks or tension throughout. In saying that, I will probably buy book two out of curiosity.

The hospital fight

Jump scares

Probably my favourite hottie movie of the year so far especially as I watched it in IMAX this afternoon this movie has it all plenty of jump scares the tension reved up Elizabeth moss acting in this movie as she was terrified by the unseen presence as no one would believe her that her dead husband was after her from the dead my favourite bit is the hospital scene where the guards are basically fighting an invisible enemy the effects in that scene wow good movie highly recommend it better movie than the mummy with tom cruise anyday

High-tension plot line that keeps you guessing. (0 more)

There is a lot that isn't quite explained, that you really want to know more about to understand everything (0 more)

Set on a distant planetoid, in use as a penal colony for the worst type of criminals in the Empire.

Sent on a mission that is near enough a death sentence, Ana Bolo hunts for clues to the fate of a secret project. But, as always with these things, everything is not as it seems, in fact, it's worse...

And then they discover their hero is not all that he seems, he's so much more, and so much more dangerous than anyone ever imagined.
