Gripping horror/thriller that is a story in 2 parts
This film starts off as a paranormal horror film, a family apparently being haunted by strange forces, but suddenly turns completely around into something much more realistic, though still thrilling.
No spoilers given, but I loved the sudden twist and the "aaaaah" moment where the viewer realises what has been happening, as the first half is re-told from a different perspective.
The film builds to a gripping conclusion and has several more twists and surprises along the way, keeping the viewer guessing.
One gripe is the music - loud blaring horn used to build up tension becomes very annoying very quickly.

This small film does a great job of quickly setting up the suspense as a plane gets hijacked and the crew try to fight them off. Just about the entire film is shot in the cockpit and the result is an addition of claustrophobia to the precedings. The movie doesn't really have a lot of action, but it maintains it's tense atmosphere throughout, and Lovitt does a great job carrying the film. The story isnt anything to write home about, but it does it's job and holds the movie together.

Stop This Plane
Non-Stop- is a really good action suspense drama thriller. Liam Neeson is really good in this.
The plot: Alcoholic and world-weary, U.S. Air Marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) lost his passion for his work long ago. Even though lives are potentially at stake during every flight, he sees the assignment as just a desk job. However, his "ordinary day at the office" becomes a high-stakes crisis during a flight to London. Marks receives a series of text messages demanding that he instruct the airline to transfer $150 million into an offshore account, or a passenger will die every 20 minutes.
I highly recordmend it.

Engaging Thriller
This book didn't waste any time getting going while still giving us a good feeling for the characters.
With the abduction of the youngest child of a content wealthy mother of three, Bree Cabbat, I did wonder if we were going to go down a path too frequently travelled in thrillers of late for me. But the twists hit early and hard leaving me gripped.
Jackson again demonstrates a writing style that gets me on board with characters I would usually have little regard for, making me desperate to find out their fate.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the copy.

Edge of your seat film
Absolutely brilliant, only came across a select series of films that matched up the first and this one has now made that list. a thriller full of tense moments that had me sitting at the edge of my seat. couldn't look away. There better be a third one @johnkrasinski because i was enamoured. The growth of the young characters is great and the new character (who is actually an old character) which combined well in the story. amazing that time was taken to explain how it all happened in this film and also leaving it a place for a 3rd.
