The Elevator Killer

A while ago, I did a post on the creepy urban legend of THE ELEVATOR KILLER.

Of all the urban legends that I have researched on so far, this one really got to me.

Did it really happen? Could this actually happen? Is there any truth to this story?

The fact that this doesn't contain any supernatural creatures is why this story is even more frightening. It could be real. Somebody could be watching us and we wouldn't know. The people we see on the street might not all be innocent. We never know people's true intentions, do we?

And so yes, the ELEVATOR KILLER stuck in my mind because it had a possibility of actually happening. The part that is terrifying is the small span between two floors where the victim realizes she is trapped in the elevator and she can't control it or stop it from opening the doors. How many stairs could be between two floors, anyway?

The fact that the victim isn't given enough time to save herself, is what makes this legend truly frightening.

So, of course I wrote a story about it and gave it a twist ending. Check it out here:

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer. Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating. Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying. What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
