Great anthology stories that overlap (3 more)

Great characters

Good make-up effects

Good cast

A new Halloween classic

A great collection of Halloween tales that overlap each other on one Halloween night in a small town. It has some great moments in the 4 main stories, mixing up an urban ghost story, scary creatures, slasher and just the plain weird. It has a good cast including Brian Cox looking a little John Carpenter like and Anna Paquin of True Blood. The film also reminds the viewers of the reasons behind some of the traditions. A bit short at 80mins but very enjoyable, one of the best horror anthologies around! This could become a cult film taking into account it didn't get a cinema release....who knows why!? Plenty of extras on the DVD as well.

Standered Sims game

Feels too cartoonie. (1 more)

Feels too much like a step back

The Sims 4 offers the usual family simulation experience. However the game is much different to it's predecessor. Sims 3, Sims 4 is not an open world and to move to different sections of the neighborhood you have to endure a loading screen which can feel tedious after a while and really takes away from the whole experience..

The jobs also feel harder to progress in and for me the could be a decent thing to have as it stops the game from becomeing boring to easily..

All in all its not the worst game ever but in the sims franchise it's probably a bottom 3.. norrowly beating bust'em up and urban hights..

David McK (3600 KP) rated Dawnthief (Chronicles of the Raven, #1) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

This is pretty much what I would term your standard high-fantasy fiction: high fantasy as opposed to, say, urban fantasy, as it involves Dragons (albeit only at the very beginning, and then more-or-less forgotten about), Elves and Magic amongst other genre staples.

The Raven of the sub-title ('Chronicles of the Raven', remember!) are a group of mercenaries who, at the beginning of the novel, have lived and fought together for years. At the end of one contract, they are hired by a former enemy, before events start overtaking them and they find themselves as amongst the last hope for their land, which is descending into war ...

I found this to be an OK read: not the best of such-like books I've ever read; nor the worst.
