Kristina (502 KP) rated The Vixen and the Vet (A Modern Fairytale #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
A real-life twist on an old familiar fairy tale. It took me a little bit to get into this story, mainly because the tone was a bit stiff and formal. But once I did get into it, I fell in love. I enjoyed this story so much and I can't wait to read the rest of the Modern Fairytale series!
I enjoyed the story and was quite surprised with how much, considering the topic and Liv's role in the matter. The ending was a nice twist and validated the sympathetic emotions I felt toward Liv, when all of it should have been for Josh.

Not much werewolf
Odd comedy Horror
Slightly odd comedy Horror based on a video game. More of a whodunit twist of who the killer or werewolf is. Plenty of oddball characters. Mildly amusing in places but some of the characters were just annoying with OTT acting. Not much of a werewolf as well, so a bit disappointing.

Michael Myers is back but unfortunately for him so is Laurie Strode!

I was on board with this as soon as I saw the trailer showing a more grizzled badass Laurie and that really is the highlight of this film. There are 2 twists in this film. 1 is quite unnecessary but leads to quite a glorious head squash which is the standout bit of gore. The second twist is excellent, paying homage to the original we get scenes similar to those from the first but roles reversed so that Laurie takes Michael's place and is stalking him showing her evolution from victim to prepared survivor/hunter. So yeah not a perfect film but a really solid effort. Hopefully leads to a new run of films with Laurie and her brood.

I enjoyed this book even though it went from past to present. Some books can make it difficult to keep on track but this was easy to keep up with.
I was hooked from the first chapter and there were so many twists and turns it kept me hooked.
The author really gave me an insight into each character and the journey they all went on growing up.
I felt so bad for the characters and what they had to go through especially with the twist at the end. It was heartbreaking but it felt good at the end. The characters opened up.
I think the audience for this book is twenties and over but no specific gender. It is for people who like a good twist and a good crime book.

Not what I expected!

Fantasy island, a new holiday destination where all your dreams come true but careful what you ask for as every fantasy can take a turn for the worse or turn out completely different to how you had hoped.
Perfect story to get lost in if you can keep up with all the different scenarios! Brilliant idea and such entertainment brilliant film from start to finish with a cheesy American twist at the end, although it worked well I half hoped for a different twist, maybe from a mother looking for revenge. I really enjoyed the way they brought every character together and show how they all linked in with the film, Don't want to go into too much detail, wouldn't want to ruin it for others, on the whole really good watch highly recommend.

Prepare to scream again...or not
I was pretty excited to see this movie, and by the end I was only mildly disappointed. This movie had a few twists that I thought were enjoyable. But ultimately the movie falls flat because the main twist was weak and didn't matter overall in the scream universe. Some of the acting was terrible, and I can't tell if it was intentional for some of the character traits or if it was legit bad acting. The practical effects in this were really good and actually looked believable. I also enjoyed the update in the horror movie troupes and the way they incorporated newer technology into the movie. Overall this movie will fall flat unfortunately but it does open up the universe for another sequel.

Typically King
I did read the book many moons ago and couldn't remember much of it. I heard this got good reviews so had to check it out. It stays faithful to the book.
It does well to keep your interest for a largely one location set film. A long with a twist that enhances the story, this is well worth checking out.

Modern day Stepford Wives with one hell of a twist
Great Movie! Not at all what I expected. The comedy was well timed and helped to lighten the otherwise extremely uncomfortable atmosphere (which I loved).
