Welcome to my weird world!
This book convinced me I should one day return to this duology, and see the first one anew, which I gave a rather unfavourable review of. I said it was a jump-scare book that wasn't set up to truly scare, and by the time it actually got to the good stuff, I was more relieved... Continue Reading →
Maybe books weren’t made to replicate the screenplays for horror movies. I now know Laurie Faria Stolarz has written a ton of other horror stories, but I guess this one is proof that it’s harder than you think to make a jump-scare book. The book grabbed my interest though when I read it a while... Continue Reading →
I hope this gets a sequel. I've seen some of Paul W. S. Anderson's work, and some of it is rocky. I was a fan of the Resident Evil movies. The last one, even though it retconned quite a bit, was a wonderfully satisfying burst of entertainment and surprising melancholiness. I can see Paul's style... Continue Reading →
The more horror movies you see, the more you get numbed to them and demand better. Actually, as I was typing that, I realized that's the same for all types of movies, but with horror it's especially true. You watch some classic terror productions to get creeped out, you watch some new ones to get... Continue Reading →
Seeing this film was one of the better whims I've gone on this year. I wish I'd seen this on Halloween. One group that I hope sees this are this group of boys who bullied me in sixth grade for being a quiet weirdo. Or maybe I don't. I've been able to move on. I... Continue Reading →
One of the posters self-advertises this movie as "The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience." And actually, I think they earned the right to call itself that. This is a pure horror movie as relentless as a creature with no conscience, aka the monsters breaking down the safe havens of their targets for misery.... Continue Reading →
Even the eight-year-old within me cringed. The same eight-year-old who's loved so many movies aimed at kids and preteens even today, and loved so many Adam Sandler movies that have been critically panned. Hubie Halloween is a mixture of these, and here they go together like whatever those three soups Sandler orders in this film... Continue Reading →
There's such a humungous history of classic movies that established itself way before I was born, and that's why I often prefer watching what's new and take it a week at a time. But after seeing the 2018 Halloween when it was released, I thought, Why the heck not? You know the story, and even... Continue Reading →
Pretty much everyone in my earlier family has read this book. My parents and uncle all read it in high school and my grandparents tried it out once. The novel was probably too young at that time to be decided on any curriculum. And in my family, we all have very different tastes in general... Continue Reading →
Breonna Taylor's murderers still haven't been brought to justice; only one's been fired, rather than being arrested, charged and imprisoned. And to top that off, there are still loads of unsolved cases of police brutality against people of colour. At the very least for Taylor's case, we are not willing to quiet down and the...
