I think this had potential with a good location for a horror, but overall it's no where near what it could have been. If this was a short story it might have been better but even at 85mins it feels way too long. The majority of the film features the girl running and screaming through tunnels in the darkness.....followed by more running through dark tunnels! The twist ending did start to become a bit obvious, well the first part anyway, and it has been done much better in many other horrors.

Oh yeah! Serial killers and the paranormal OH MY!!
No spoilers. Book is one of his best. A 2 day read. Had to put it down only because I was completely unaware of my family's needs. Someone has to cook. Anyways... What I loved the most is finding small pieces of myself in each character. Whether good, bad, or ugly. We all can relate. The story itself is a page turner. Descriptive, twisty, haunting, and thought provoking. We are all The Outsider in our own way. READ IT.

Action adventure twist.
Laugh out loud funny.
The trailer didnt really do this film justice. I loved this film, and was unexpectedly funnier than I anticipated. Especially the bullet extraction scene. Also the, one liners were brilliant.
I watched this film twice in a short space of time, something I don't do unless I really like it.
Have been recommending it to all of my friends as a comic, laid back, gaming film. Should appeal to boardgame and escape room nerds like me too.

Effective Storytelling (1 more)
Twist
Originally, I didn't really want to see this film. I thought it might be ok, and I felt super old, knowing that John Cho could convincingly play a character that had a 16 YO.
This film was completely told via computer/mobile phone screens, and it was very effective. The tension and pacing were great. I like a movie that keeps me guessing (which is rare). Though, once you watch the end, you go back through the movie in your mind and realize the clues that were being dropped.

Do you hate your mother-in-law? You'll LOVE her after this.
Though this book didn't really feel like a "psychological thriller," but rather more of a drama, I definitely enjoyed it. There were several points at which I actually said out loud "oh, come on!" - so I'm going to agree with another reviewer in that it might be better if you suspend disbelief a bit before going into this.
I did NOT see that twist coming! It was worth it for that alone, in my opinion.
Thank you, Minotaur Books, for the ARE!

Flawless!
Reminded me a lot of the music from Moulin Rouge which I also loved. I love the combination of classic melodies with a modern twist. A day after I watched the film and I'm still humming all the songs and downloaded a few of them.
This is Me is amazing and I also love Never Enough. Should've won the Oscar.
The songs fit into the story so well as well. It never felt like they were out of place or awkward. They married the story flawlessly.

Suspenseful romance
This was a suspenseful romance that was a fairly quick but also an easy and satisfying read. Livvy's fiance went missing and she hired someone used to Columbia to help her find Alec. Thomas was the professional but slightly shady companion and protector.
The whole time in Columbia was great reading, it was twisty and unpredictable; the pages just flew by. The final twist could have been stronger but I was here for the culmination, even if it was a little convenient. A great, quick read.

Great to see in 4dx
Was fairly skeptical of this movie thout it might just be another sharknado but it was actually pretty good.
Totally worth watching in 4dx if you can or 3d at the very least as it makes the tension scenes soo much better.
Without spoiling it for everyone I quite liked the twist of the origins of the shark and the fact that it makes you think about all the things that we still don't know about our planet.

Very gripping
Wow - loved it!!!
Gosh, what can I say? I just love Chris Carter's books and don't even have to read the back to know I'm going to enjoy it! Yet again Robert Hunter and his genius mind are faced with a deranged psychopath. This time however, as the crimes are committed all over the place, Robert and his partner are forced to team up with FBI, and as you can imagine both sides are not too pleased about it. Great,great book,cannot wait to read the next one.

Amazing! Good to see M Night back on track.
It's good to see M Night (not butchering his last name here!) back on track with the dark and suspense filled Split. I couldn't keep my eyes off of it and I'm usually the sort of person doing 40 things at once while "watching" a movie or tv series.
It lacked the massive twist expected from M Night but it was better this way and I was pleased to discover the sequel coming out this year.
