That’s the title of the latest shark movie that will release this year. <span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It seems that recently, everyone is into shark movies after the surprise success of the Sharknado series. If a movie about shark tornadoes can work, then why not an abundance of shark movies on basically any topic?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And so, here is another, although the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4KXYSpeJ3s">trailer for SOMETHING IN THE WATER</a> is actually not all that bad. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the trailer, we see five women meet up at an island because one of them is getting married. They are having a fun time together until the decide to get on a boat, go swimming and scuba diving. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">One of the women is instantly bitten. It doesn’t take long for all of them to realize that they are far from where they can call for help and that one of them chooses that time to announce, that by the way, she cannot swim. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As the shark begins to advance, the women try to make a swim for it but end up getting bumped and bloody by the rocks. Eventually, one of them realizes she has had enough and decides to confront the shark with a knife. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Will she manage to stab the shark? Will only one of them survive? Will the wedding take place?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The answers will be revealed when the movie releases. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Written by Cat Clarke, the movie is directed by Hayley Easton Street, and stars Lauren Lyle, Hiftu Quasem, Natalie Mitson, Nicole Rieko Setsuko, Ellouise Shakespeare-Hart, and Gabriel Prevost-Takahashi. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SOMETHING IN THE WATER will release on 5th July. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnl9NmifJlsszSTlONq5pDriZ9EcKLetqIX_G0dMb7wyPiDdZnVp9hZDPomeWoo5kD2B25vHQrLUMsnE1-lYXv4Jwus7nHfm6X0TmHGCkP44PvU1AS6dqLEnI9u2NSMGHAdqeaWItOzNZQKq97oXnjYsMGPR0TZ2jf4CY_2_7p5mAeb2AN0L6ElpEIW4qy/s640/In%20other%20news.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnl9NmifJlsszSTlONq5pDriZ9EcKLetqIX_G0dMb7wyPiDdZnVp9hZDPomeWoo5kD2B25vHQrLUMsnE1-lYXv4Jwus7nHfm6X0TmHGCkP44PvU1AS6dqLEnI9u2NSMGHAdqeaWItOzNZQKq97oXnjYsMGPR0TZ2jf4CY_2_7p5mAeb2AN0L6ElpEIW4qy/w414-h207/In%20other%20news.jpg" width="414" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">The world is coming to an end and there is only one way to save it- give up your life. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the latest trailer for HUMANE, we find out the lengths people can go to save the world. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebmw64QNAwk">trailer</a> we see that the world is going through an environmental crisis, primarily, a water crisis. There is drought and people waiting to get their water ration. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In these dire times, the government has come up with a program that could help humanity thrive in a hot climate and severe water storage. The program is akin to an euthanasia procedure. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">People and families can enlist in a program where they can sacrifice themselves or pick any family member to give up their life. The world can be saved if 20% of the population is eliminated. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And so we meet the York family. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At a family dinner, Charles announces that he and Dawn have decided to volunteer to give up their lives to save humanity. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As luck would have it, Dawn disappears, leaving behind a letter. But its too late. Now that the family has volunteered to give up two family members, Charles and another family member has to go with the government officials. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While Charles is euthanized, the official announces that they are here to collect two bodies and one of the five family members remaining must come with them. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And that is when chaos ensues. The family members, most likely step siblings, literally get at each others throats. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie has strong <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Purge-5-Movie-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B0985H17V7?crid=44X9SBTJYRG2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xV7Ptrm8jYH6ju5VTSrzq1THGVN98r-WoaHt3b4ue6iJ-hmEdCPatTNNYp1FqrTvOsHbQ7Yf02SvEMn089IN8awfXraHV5Jrl0UOOgDUYkPDKq9MIIqJmbb--pJaOkMtB6RFD0oMPLKnDzxfGer6PvwG6Bk7OIbNqKzSY5ArhbPPmGT6N6Xy01hG_tBYwyYuE7P0VCNpo-jYmIsFzWjGi7nd1OUKlWEAEOipLE59BSE.0Y-kcEbpJiB5x0vVGvWpvlvAUP8Of_w1OgAt7uqavqs&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+purge&qid=1711604164&sprefix=the+purge%2Caps%2C458&sr=8-3&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=fec436d3ae22e9c4b6e8088948d31165&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">THE PURGE</a> vibes as well as a bit of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hunt-Blu-ray-Ike-Barinholtz/dp/B085HP9FG7?crid=15CGQBSRJGGVH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.86x-4zSgeeiM1GAU5McUHAywQ60oThMGmMmzoDEMBMH4T1JJeLZRnzqo1KzDM_s0WoQThXNS-rDD3kYZ2hIFKiCELWqrZGpq8wgQfAQxK9Aev-yzDZHi6FTdDT5_hebHZNrqE-KGWUZqN3IA8A9boLp5GAdW_hXUtZmU_97degIp4EcAMf-hcDyRvXDJsMw8nuD3he0tNPDY9ZBjNAVamNqe5SK_uCrjVtxU7yZ_Khc.fivDTOdNRPXnixKpwuikHPs7KL344FKCO3MKz16SqKs&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+hunt&qid=1711604207&sprefix=the+hun%2Caps%2C435&sr=8-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=8ccae994af8631c30341d5e5056ee0a0&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">THE HUNT. </a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie may just be another instalment in a dark comedy/satire horror genre that actually entertains. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Written by Michael Sparaga, and Directed by Caitlin Cronenberg, the movie stars Peter Gallaghar, Jay Baruchel, Enrico Colantoni, and Alanna Bale. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>HUMANE releases on April 26th. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/b?node=121226792011&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=6411573ca667039c04d62af22b08934c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Check out the Big Spring Sale on Amazon.com</a></span></p><h4 style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.”</span></i></h4>

He is here to cover the renovations taking place at the historic Hotel Chelsea. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">The more time he spends at the hotel, the more he experiences unusual events which ultimately makes him wonder if there is something going on at the hotel and with its residents. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">There have been several positive reviews for the novel with many praising the book for being a real page-turner and bound to give you chills if you read it before bedtime. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Readers thought that book had a variety of eccentric characters and loved the author’s writing style and his ability to build a fascinating story. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">There were some negative reviews regarding slow-pacing in the middle of the book and the absurd ending which completely changes the book’s genre from horror to sci-fi. Many readers enjoyed the book but were disappointed with the way the book ended with what they believed was an implausible explanation. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>QUICK BOOK REVIEW OF HOTEL CHELSEA</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">The year is 1884 and that is when the Hotel was supposedly built. We meet Arthur Schmid first. He is a man in his fifties who is a womanizer and given the title of being fashionable. In his introduction, it is mentioned that he has a lot of money and a lot of clothes. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Arthur Schmid is having a drink with Sam Clemens, you know, the famed writer Mark Twain. Now, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Mark-Twain/author/B000APWHJ2?isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=b5c7cf96ad32bb83c383a13408021dd9&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Mark Twain</a> was really a guest at Hotel Chelsea so it is a good bit of trivia that the author has inserted here. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">The author is discussing his dream and how he is planning to write a novel, so far titled, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Connecticut-Yankee-King-Arthurs-Court/dp/1500526304?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UfZhS9jidGpuKJ8VuG_MZlz13Z4Yoo6cSB71_lQAZuCIj_1fqB_C3fST1HZ9eZrtYGN4stVGU2bI_h3yB18Sh9LDFIDIzm_4scUQ8grpYCNlM_4Di0BfUh-gM30HJNRENi3XiaiakXvejH3ojlSzpHsaJvwdQQT77rivos4fdMOD_P1cf3G2jYqFuz61WCYyBMoR813CXBcxwsDejwNern3D6-iegbi75gScwM6eT40.De_qIP90nZXUkba-Z3RHUF1CYgmrSEzQu05npwSc7Gw&qid=1710910824&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=9b80b234b0646e79b80916b2bf0dfd49&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">A YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR’S COURT</a>. The book will eventually be published in 1889. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, Arthur makes eye contact with Nicola Krieghoff who is a budding actress. Arthur and Nicola are having an affair when he hears his wife’s voice on the other side of the door. Nicola is made to hide in a dumbwaiter which snaps and she falls. But she is not dead yet. She sees a glowing figure with red eyes, and that is when she loses consciousness. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Years later, Malcolm, a magazine reporter, makes his way to the hotel to cover the renovations. He meets an older woman called Quinn and seems to like her even though she’s eccentric. She has a cockroach for a pet!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">The sample ends just as we are introduced to a musician, Shane. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">No doubt, the story is engaging and draws you in immediately.

Nevertheless, the sequel gave a glimpse into the time when the extraterrestrials came into our world and attacked anyone they could hear. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But just what happened and how did they destroy our world? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The spin-off and prequel for A Quiet Place is releasing this year and we will finally get to see what happened when then extraterrestrials came into this world and just how did they destroy everything. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Fans of the franchise who were waiting to find out what happened to the Abbott family will need to wait until next year when the sequel A Quiet Place III will release. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The third part in the franchise will be written and directed by John Kransinski. The prequel, <b>A Quiet Place: Day One</b> will be directed by Michael Sarnoski who also serves as writer alongside John Kransinski and Bryan Woods. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While the first movie was definitely interesting and nail-biting, it begs the question, do we really need sequels of every movie that does well? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The second part added in more cast members but story-wise it struggled to keep the theme going. There are beings that are attacking people based on sound. What else can you do with that?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Turns out, there is a way to make the creatures vulnerable and that is through the high frequency audio feedback that can be emitted through a cochlear implant that Regan uses since she is deaf. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now that we know that the Abbotts were at a baseball game when the extraterrestrials had attacked, do we really need a whole new movie to know what else happened on Day One?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A Quiet Place: Day One trailer shows a woman carrying her cat through the busy streets of a city when she looks up and sees something in the sky.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O5T30SfoPYU?si=5WX8c3F6q7PIdnvJ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> In the next instant, these creatures come plunging down and attack everyone who screams. The woman takes pains to warn others and hide but we don’t see the cat.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> Hopefully the cat survives and we see it at the end of the movie. There is a lot of running around and screaming but since the protagonist is yet to speak a word, let’s assume that she is playing a mute. We also see Djimon Hounsou who was seen in the second part playing a leader to some of the survivors on the island. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie will no doubt consist of jump scares as creatures lunge at everyone they see except for the main characters. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Time will tell if this is a prequel that we actually needed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A Quiet Place: Day One stars Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, Djimon Hounsou and Alex Wolff. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE will release on June 28th. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifOaqhwetXz2hFaoRX_eWdpm9sQ-F852Gjzk6XVpVezCnl_2xMfHWAn6Cy3L8XsVkCSvCCV7Ta9hCc-aKRVoTXcrMdc-nEepFFXC7Z1uzIic4Zisi8rVH_OBkNq5eAwhFxAqoxgDtwz4oiSF-NKnpY8LFTgH9E3n2tRbD5w0n5gO2oyTIGse4mPRpjp7R-/s640/In%20other%20news.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifOaqhwetXz2hFaoRX_eWdpm9sQ-F852Gjzk6XVpVezCnl_2xMfHWAn6Cy3L8XsVkCSvCCV7Ta9hCc-aKRVoTXcrMdc-nEepFFXC7Z1uzIic4Zisi8rVH_OBkNq5eAwhFxAqoxgDtwz4oiSF-NKnpY8LFTgH9E3n2tRbD5w0n5gO2oyTIGse4mPRpjp7R-/w349-h175/In%20other%20news.jpg" width="349" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you hate spiders, or are afraid of them, you may just want to avoid this upcoming horror movie titled <b>STING</b>. Or if you aren’t afraid of spiders, you may develop arachnophobia after watching this movie. Sting is about a girl called Charlotte whose pet spider begins attacking everyone in sight. In the trailer, we first see an exterminator going to an apartment and talking to an older woman about hearing noises behind the walls. The woman denies it but as the exterminator investigates, he finds something horrifying. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cut to a little girl called Charlotte who is having problems with her family. Her mother keeps leaving her to babysit her baby brother, and she doesn’t connect with her father.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When she finds a spider, she puts it into a jar and is finally happy to have a friend. Except this friend can whistle back to her. And this friend has grown twice its size.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Hu0MJaPmZs?si=rmBU1CC359FwXj4K" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> As it turns out, the spider keeps growing until it is big enough to crawl into people’s mouths, and then lunge at people. Expect lots of webs and goo thrown about at people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> In the end, the family eventually reconnects when they are trapped in the spider’s lair. Can they make it out? Charlotte is seen loading a water gun, so maybe, yes they may just survive. Written and directed by Kiah Roache-Turner, the movie stars Alyla Browne, Penelope Mitchell, and Ryan Corr. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>STING releases on May 2nd. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gcx/Easter-deals/gfhz/events?canBeEGifted=false&canBeGiftWrapped=false&categoryId=NAS-Easter-Deals&getItByToday=false&getItByTomorrow=false&isLimitedTimeOffer=true&isPrime=false&pf_rd_p=1cf70054-7770-4e1b-99b9-4d131f308f6b&pf_rd_r=T0K4QSBETDK3Y22ATQYZ&scrollState=eyJpdGVtSW5kZXgiOjAsInNjcm9sbE9mZnNldCI6NDQxLjEwOTM3NX0%3D&sectionManagerState=eyJzZWN0aW9uVHlwZUVuZEluZGV4Ijp7ImFtYWJvdCI6MH19&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=6d30198415e95840b38bc9667e762723&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Check out these Easter Deals</a></b></span></p>

The tagline is what drew me in and prompted me into clicking on the book’s link. Of course, it helps that the cover gave off an eerie vibe too. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Don’t Talk to Strangers. <span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That is good advice, especially for a eleven-year-old kid who is going through a trauma at home. According to the premise, the book is about eleven year old Lucas who runs away from home, thinking that this event will bring his parents closer when they search for him. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Instead, he finds himself shackled and confined to a bed in a house in the middle of nowhere. Just how is Lucas is going to get out of this bind? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The book was published in August 2018 and is in the bestsellers list for Horror Literature and Fiction. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">MADHOUSE has received mostly positive reviews with many customers heaping praises on the fast pace and a wild story that kept them in a tight grip until the very end where there is a shocking twist. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There were negative reviews that pointed out the inconsistencies in the plot and the far-fetched ideas related to the eleven-year-old boy being able to perform tasks that ordinarily kids would be unable to do. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCVI5lIkX_4o0BQ5oRF9QkKOaqvERta-OWViBf7Kj_7y4djwGUqpRibv4Ha0khAWRhpIxL-9EzmrbfAjUI5-0lRDFZHBnS7ID2C3o80tKlcEV7MfXAsR50KTuYNfJr6EcvbPmwjRfhqx90NndPpgWgSPJDON4PhCLG2CuvdWWf3emoil47iknVJg1HM7gQ/s640/quick%20book%20review%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCVI5lIkX_4o0BQ5oRF9QkKOaqvERta-OWViBf7Kj_7y4djwGUqpRibv4Ha0khAWRhpIxL-9EzmrbfAjUI5-0lRDFZHBnS7ID2C3o80tKlcEV7MfXAsR50KTuYNfJr6EcvbPmwjRfhqx90NndPpgWgSPJDON4PhCLG2CuvdWWf3emoil47iknVJg1HM7gQ/w352-h235/quick%20book%20review%202.jpg" width="352" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>QUICK BOOK REVIEW based on Sample</u></span></h2><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Unlike other books, this 114 pages novel displayed only the first chapter in the sample. That gave a taste of the writing style as well as the tone of the book. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The first chapter introduces Lucas and then quickly brings him to the incident that will form the crux of the story. He overhears his parents Tom and Mary, not screaming at each other, but having a discussion alluding to a divorce. At least that is what Lucas is certain he is overhearing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He confronts his parents but doesn’t wait for an explanation. As soon as he shuts himself in his room, he makes a plan to get his parents together again. He doesn’t have any other family after all and he needs his parents to be there for him at least. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The first chapter gives a rush of events. It reads almost like a summary rather than an actual chapter of a book. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It does however give an insight into Lucas’ mind and his proclivity towards challenges, like for example, he rather enter his house through a window rather than a main door. He is also courageous and prefers to confront his parents rather than cry about his broken family. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Lucas is the main character but it is the fast-paced writing style that doesn’t give him a chance to develop. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The premise is nevertheless interesting and since there is talk of a shocking twist towards the end, it must have something to do with Lucas and his parents. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Would I continue reading this book? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Yes.

<p><span style="font-size: large;"> <b><u>Plot: In a small town, a twelve year old girl gets all the other children to stand up to the adults who are threatening their future.</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We have seen small girls in horror movies being tricked and possessed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The whole first half of a movie is usually dedicated to the side characters in the movie, wondering if that little girl is really possessed or not.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There will be glimpses of the girl doing something she wouldn't have if a demon wasn't possessing her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>CHILDREN OF THE CORN</b> shows how terrifying little waylaid girls can truly be.<span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Based on Stephen King's short story, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Children-Kindle-Single-Vintage-Short-ebook/dp/B01DRXF5C4?crid=1WDQBB6Q2QXJA&keywords=children+of+the+corn+stephen+king&qid=1704647496&sprefix=children+of+the+corn+st%2Caps%2C318&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=92bfac8b52a7435a2ae16c945be12608&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Children of the Corn</a> has been adapted several times, and none of them have truly hit the mark.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The newer version is perhaps the eleventh attempt to adapt the short story.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie serves as a prequel to the events leading up to the children turning against the adults.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The story adds logic to this story about the children, sick of being treated like children. It is their future, and they want a say.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While the story holds up a little, it is the portrayal of adults as helpless dominoes that doesn't make sense.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A whole bunch of adults are shown to be no match for the kids who want to overthrow their rule.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And then there is the plot point of the soil being contaminated with chemicals that can cause hallucinations. Why bring that bit in and not use it for a grand twist?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie had the elements all in place. Unfortunately it doesn't get to use them efficiently.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrI0Cwus38aKuJceH4prPa-O3-RI-J3Mn0KdZvDPmk7b-o9JA1Xd_6ta7uTGty0mQQeCfOZsKxJIHJ-T6nJDRNDU2wkjRIqxiXvEfoOpCleece8gNfxZFl7QwJguMCXYP4r2uQFDGs4TOeMKr9H5qGgRQQZZMo_ud8ziU4ZS6roiF1-dplOANazyCMqIN8/s640/Movie%20plot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrI0Cwus38aKuJceH4prPa-O3-RI-J3Mn0KdZvDPmk7b-o9JA1Xd_6ta7uTGty0mQQeCfOZsKxJIHJ-T6nJDRNDU2wkjRIqxiXvEfoOpCleece8gNfxZFl7QwJguMCXYP4r2uQFDGs4TOeMKr9H5qGgRQQZZMo_ud8ziU4ZS6roiF1-dplOANazyCMqIN8/w373-h187/Movie%20plot.jpg" width="373" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>CHILDREN OF THE CORN Plot</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie opens with a boy called Boyd sitting outside a home for children with a girl called Eden.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the next instant, he begins stabbing every adult he comes across. Eden is shocked by this but doesn't say a word.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Time passes and Boyd's incident is now a news article. He was brought down by releasing gas into the home that ended up killing the other kids.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden is questioned about Boyd's motives but she doesn't reveal much except Boyd's remorse at not getting everyone.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We then meet Boleyn who is roaming around the fields with her brother Cecil. She is a student of microbiology and boring her brother with how the soil is contaminated with chemicals that can cause hallucinations, and is also ruining the crop. She explains that the labels on the fertiliser should have been read carefully.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cecil is barely interested and plays with the crops. Boleyn then shows him a letter she received. It is her acceptance letter for further studies. Cecil is hurt that she is leaving him and this town to make a better life for herself with education.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They then hear a bell ring and go explore further to see a bunch of kids playing near a silo. They're kids and showing just how much they really hate fruit by bashing it up with a sledgehammer.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There's a car there too, and the kids smash up the windows because it is so cool.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On the top of the silo tower, there is a boy made to walk the plank. Boleyn is horrified by the way the kids are behaving but Cecil thinks they are just having a bit of fun and she should lighten up. Plus, since she is moving, it is time he made new friends and if that means it has to be with delinquents, then so be it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn then spots Calder who is pissed that his grandma's car has been brought into the middle of the fields and trashed. He also tries to stop the kids from behaving badly but gives up fairly quickly. He even walks away from the car.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn follows him and renews her friendship with him. At home things are tense to as Boleyn's father Robert prepares for the speech to address the townsfolk of Rylstone.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At the community hall, Robert gives a speech about how destroying crops can bring in money as the government will give them subsidies for the Corn not being grown.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn enters the hall to give a grand speech about how they should fix the soil because of which crops are not growing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Robert commends her bravado and speech but tells her it is not practical and destroying the crops is the way to go.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The rest of the kids raise their voice too and want to be able to vote in the decision.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The townsfolk heckles them while Robert unsuccessfully tries to get them to stop insulting the kids.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The kids finally leave and Eden goes to have a cry in the fields. Luckily, the stalks are there to console her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn hasn't given up on getting her voice heard and rallies up the other teens. They consider calling news reporters to cover their story.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden has come up with a plan of her own to stop the adults from ruining her future. She sure sees it in this way.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She gathers up all the kids to do unspeakable things like gutting a pig and using its blood to paint the pit.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn approaches Eden after some days and is shocked to see what her and the other kids are up to. She tries to keep her comments to herself and enlists Eden's help in getting the reporter to the hall.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden shrugs and agrees to pick up the reporter.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Later that night, Boleyn can't find the adults or the reporter and wonders what is going on. She approaches Eden who has an evil smile on her face.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She tells them she has something amazing to show them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpCJpPhUfaqiBRES8U0QfzeMKV06q_n0BdjTIEjjwGBO6l8yPwU0kI9GpRhNBaCWL5MrFa-mmUZgORwV5v5v-YuvJX6IIXHCJKPgQwvRxzp94ESIHPkB4GcpypZ_2EOACg7SboX_WSHnzEYye_SJRt-HBEfJR50s2mrHjYT-0Xp9ToXU2-DbEfnMRNN3ss/s600/Ending%20Explained.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="600" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpCJpPhUfaqiBRES8U0QfzeMKV06q_n0BdjTIEjjwGBO6l8yPwU0kI9GpRhNBaCWL5MrFa-mmUZgORwV5v5v-YuvJX6IIXHCJKPgQwvRxzp94ESIHPkB4GcpypZ_2EOACg7SboX_WSHnzEYye_SJRt-HBEfJR50s2mrHjYT-0Xp9ToXU2-DbEfnMRNN3ss/w351-h146/Ending%20Explained.jpg" width="351" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>CHILDREN OF THE CORN Ending Explained with Spoilers!</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden explains that they now have nothing to worry about because she and the other kids had a meeting and a trial all on their own.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The teens enter the hall to see Calder's father hanging from a noose. It's too late to save him and Boleyn realizes that the kids intend to take over the town.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">All the adults are put in cells and no doubt a terrifying fate awaits them. Calder tries to be a hero but he is beaten up until he dies.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Some of the adults are taken into the fields and dropped into a pit. Boleyn's mother is in the pit too and she has no choice but to helplessly watch the kids man a bulldozer and dump soil inside the pit, thereby burying those adults alive.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn's father is still alive and so she comes up with a plan to pretend to be understanding of Eden's delusions. When Eden uses the term "He-who-walks" to describe her friend in the fields, Boleyn wonders if the twelve-year old is suffering from hallucinations.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The rest of the adults are told to walk into the fields so that Eden's friend can have something to eat.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn whispers to her father to run for it and he totally thinks he will succeed at that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden then reveals she kidnapped the reporter and intended for her to be a sacrifice for her friend too.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn is horrified to learn her friends have been killed. She tries to make Eden see reason only for the reporter to be dragged into the fields and ripped in half by</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"He-who-walks". The monster is real since Boleyn saw it. Or did she hallucinate it too considering her brother had blown dust at her in the beginning of the movie?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe they are all mad at this point.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The kids turn on Boleyn who tries to avoid being killed by telling them how the grain dust and the gasoline that was doused on her may end up burning the whole field.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn makes a run for it and ends up creating a track of gasoline right up to the middle of the field where Boleyn's father is laying dead.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden's bestie attacks Boleyn but she manages to escape by using a machete.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She finds Calder's grandmother's car and luckily it turns on even though the fuel is still leaking from that time when the kids bashed it. The fuel has been leaking for so many days now.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden somehow manages to make it to the backseat like a villain and has a gun with her. Boleyn says she wants a cigarette as her dying wish.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden is feeling generous and allows her. She even sets up the car lighter for her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The second it does, Boleyn heads out of the car and tells Eden that all her running around caused a trail to form because of the gasoline the kids had dumped on her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She uses the car lighter to start a fire. Eden is aghast when she sees the trail go right into her beloved fields. Everything goes up in flames and the barn explodes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That one scene actually redeems this movie.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eden looks on the verge of a tantrum as she huffs and puffs with closed fists.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She walks into the fields and her new bestie is on fire. It crumbles and the whole field burns down.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Boleyn goes for a walk in the fields the next day and picks up a flower that belonged to Eden. She is surprised by it and then shocked when she sees Eden, all melted and burned.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She seems to have Corn powers, and uses the stalk to pull Boleyn to her and kill her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie ends, suggesting that Eden is the new "she-who-walks" on the burnt fields.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Children of the Corn had an interesting idea to provide a backstory of why the kids chose to go after the adults, but then it loses its way in the maize maze.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However, the acting is passable and helps elevate a tired script.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Scare Scale: </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkXYLK286zkdIGHAeun3I5QX9RGBv_HVk6wRp-Td7cAwAK6BvyX_ONVK_ZPFZrYmPsVX5zOcrnXiBsNGsC4QjaMe06KapKsoailvdHdLD-PpWZA10JgOBpW5mPtXoPAoIFFX-vfFze_bvTAJmoT9MUlscuzzfWwF8ranwySTQTknRvV8S93kVFQ-3C13As/s464/scare%20scale%202.5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="103" data-original-width="464" height="97" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkXYLK286zkdIGHAeun3I5QX9RGBv_HVk6wRp-Td7cAwAK6BvyX_ONVK_ZPFZrYmPsVX5zOcrnXiBsNGsC4QjaMe06KapKsoailvdHdLD-PpWZA10JgOBpW5mPtXoPAoIFFX-vfFze_bvTAJmoT9MUlscuzzfWwF8ranwySTQTknRvV8S93kVFQ-3C13As/w437-h97/scare%20scale%202.5.jpg" width="437" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Children-Corn-Elena-Kampouris/dp/B0B8TJSQ3R?crid=XPK2M8JFRYB8&keywords=children+of+the+corn&qid=1704647297&s=instant-video&sprefix=children+%2Cinstant-video%2C329&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=67ec82b79d8f62204dab83f6a2ab2586&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Watch Children of the Corn on Prime Video</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Film-Favorites-Lethal-Weapon-Directors/dp/B000U1ZV8K?psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=3ed0f9d96c19dec0bf4f80ff9f612d5f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">4 Film Favorites: Lethal Weapon (Lethal Weapon: Director's Cut, Lethal Weapon 2: Director's Cut, Lethal Weapon 3: Director's Cut, Lethal Weapon 4)</a></span></div>

A voice comes from the darkness, asking her what is not real? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She freaks out. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The trailer hints that we may finally witness the origin story of the woman who birthed the Antichrist. This is her story and some people with higher power were well aware of what they wanted to bring into this world. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie is directed by Arkasha Stevenson who is also the writer along with Tim Smith and Keith Thomas. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie stars Nell Tiger Free, Nicole Sorace, Bill Nighy, and Ralph Ineson. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">THE FIRST OMEN releases on April 5th. </span></h3><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBP4UZwdx0yWDxa1tFfl0wKsHI6KYiP-XOnigOS9uhL_n2OWgQU-svNfFenjsU_b9y7SahFzHaR1nDVkAMvHLo1RcV34XmSWXFdnOnwcybbCTekzp-sqfTtdvC0NsGXh68VfciQwOIMe4wl85r4GAYA1Ta_sXFEai0h9jBEAoqHVKpEzrWMGNigt_53FEM/s640/In%20other%20news.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBP4UZwdx0yWDxa1tFfl0wKsHI6KYiP-XOnigOS9uhL_n2OWgQU-svNfFenjsU_b9y7SahFzHaR1nDVkAMvHLo1RcV34XmSWXFdnOnwcybbCTekzp-sqfTtdvC0NsGXh68VfciQwOIMe4wl85r4GAYA1Ta_sXFEai0h9jBEAoqHVKpEzrWMGNigt_53FEM/w378-h189/In%20other%20news.jpg" width="378" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Who doesn’t like late night talk shows? </span></h2><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">For years, it has been the kind of shows celebrities visit to promote movies and before that it used to be for people with talents who finally got a stage to showcase them. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The latest horror movie is based on a 70s talk show and has already received acclaim from critics, including author <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Stephen-King/author/B000AQ0842?qid=1710393977&sr=8-3&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=3eb98423784d300241dae54db8717bb9&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Stephen King </a>who has called it absolutely brilliant and that he couldn’t keep his eyes of it. He however mentions that the audience may have a different opinion. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But since Stephen King has said it, the movie must be good, right? All his previous recommendations have been interesting horror movies so far. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL follows the found footage style and focuses on talk show host Jack Delroy who has a talk show called the Night Owls. When a tragedy strikes, relating to his wife, he must do whatever it takes to keep the show up and running or risk it being cancelled. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And so, for his 1977 broadcast, he decides to host a Halloween special episode.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SeudqNTJ6pA?si=GNzwLcZtOpOHdXVs" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
While he has invited guests to entertain the audience, he has also prepared an interview with parapsychologist and author Dr June Ross-Mitchell who has written a book called Conversations with the Devil. Her book is on a girl called Lilly who is the sole survivor of a Satanic Church’s mass suicide. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She may also be possessed by a demon, so there’s that. Or even the devil himself. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Jack Delroy begins interviewing the girl as well, and pushes Dr June to seek out the devil in her. Even though he has been warned, Jack is desperate for ratings and ignores the doctor’s warnings. This leads to Dr June pushing Lilly to the limits and bringing the devil to the surface. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Of course things go very wrong quickly and Jack has to deal with the devil who seems to know about him. Can Jack save the audience members? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The reviews for the movie that was released during the film festivals, have been positive so far. It has been described as “devilishly good fun” and one of the best indie horror movie so far. Most of the praise has been heaped on protagonist David Dastmalchian who shines in the trailer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie is written and directed by Cameron Cairnes and Colin Cairnes. It stars David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, and Ingrid Torelli. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL releases on March 22nd. </span></h3>

In some cases, the sample chapters can make you want to put it in the TBR list. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Ghost Illusion tells the story of Eve St. Clair who is living in England after a divorce and then inheriting her Uncle’s house. However, she senses there is something sinister going on and contacts a paranormal investigation team. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now this is no ordinary, broke paranormal investigators who are usually made fun of in movies for being too over-the-top. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">The company is founded by a billionaire, Ransom King, Ran for short. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since Eve is described as beautiful and Ransom, a very handsome man, you know where the story is going to be headed. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">But where is the horror, you ask? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is a taste of horror in a few chapters but at the moment it is only loud voices and thundering footsteps. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ransom makes the trip all the way to England to see Eve and is immediately smitten by her. We have all the usual tropes: hands brushing against each other, sparks flying around, the damsel in distress fainting in the hero’s arms, etc. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ransom has a painful past. He recently lost his wife and child in a car accident for which he holds himself responsible. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, by the time you read the end of the sample, you will understand that what you are actually reading is a romance novel where the author makes sure you know every color of every item in the setting. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a horror fan, you are going to be very disappointed to find that there is barely anything spooky happening. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a romance reader, you are going to groan inwardly, because you will find two perfectly good looking people getting together over an excuse of a haunting. If you are a fan of romance, you aren’t going to find anything new in this story. It’s always the damsel in distress and the tragic hero who find their happy ending regardless of what is going on around them. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a horror novel, THE GHOST ILLUSION is a tepid story of a haunting that is bound to serve only as a backdrop to a very cliched romance story. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Would I want to continue reading the book? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">No, I would not. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">But for those who want to give it a shot anyway, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Illusion-Kat-Martin/dp/1496744039?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CsyOMS0EIm6EmCAyVLEWhJhwGYlMbKbT1-QbYU2peJPNNq8WZvdlcNVIl6F-g24bW1qaS7pkyHvM7NUmrHM3-wxBufRWH1nCdnf-XDPbuFNb4Jn_NM4S5jhJnunoLqwqsiZ954fcdO8lHGFR4zT2gB-hl8I98ATxI0bdk8NPFJ5Q1BvnMy4pNo29pqR_Vi1x.dBvgH6r_JlZ84ZzMfHPorVoPnhoApBdbBWOo9tfNflU&qid=1709625667&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=cf60fd515212c11258535e9b56836501&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">GET THE BOOK</a></span></div></div><p></p>

He show-offs about having 196,000 followers and having sponsors for his child's diapers and other things.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Timme leaves, and Matthias and Liv are having fun when Julius begins to cry. Matthias then spots a figure heading towards the pond and rushes outside. Liv notices the man too and makes a call.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The man is Pol, Matthias' father, who has dementia and escaped retirement home to come look at the pond. Liv comes out later to hand him some honey.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Matthias has him seated with half a cup of tea that Pol then adds almost half a bottle of honey to. Matthias remarks about the abundance of honey that will make his teeth fall, Pol ignores him and enjoys his tea before he is taken away.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But before that he mentions that he was the one who dug a pond for his wife as she always wanted a pond, and that an incident had taken place in the factory he worked in for which Pol was blamed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Intrigued, Matthias goes to investigate the factory called Soubaylo. The gates are closed, and he wonders if he should further investigate. That decision, he leaves to his followers. He notices a couple of teenagers jumping over the gate and trespassing, too, with the girl making an action as if she was jumping into the water.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The action may mean nothing or perhaps in this small town. Everyone knows what happened to Michelle and was teasing Matthias.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At night, we see Matthias being the one, getting up to soothe the crying baby while Liv sleeps on.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The next day, Liv is off cycling around town and being friendly with the locals who react with frowns.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv goes to the local butcher, who isn't pleased to see her because she knows who she is married to. Liv runs a catering business and wants to leave her cards. The butcher gives her a hard no.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv doesn't give up and goes to an organic mart. The woman she meets is friendly and lets Liv keep her business cards in her store. But she too reacts negatively to her being Matthias girlfriend.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She insinuates that she is surprised that Matthias would return home. The rest of the story she divulges later in the movie.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At night, Matthias is unable to sleep and wakes up when he hears several pings. His followers have made a decision. They want Matthias to investigate the mysterious factory.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And so, Matthias, eager to please his followers, spends the whole night researching what happened in the factory. There are reports of workers dying and chemical spills and toxins that seeped into the food supply.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Matthias becomes paranoid hallucinates. The fishes on his child's playmobile are melting.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He becomes sensitive to hearing, and every sound annoys him, even the buzzing of the fridge, and so he unplugs it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv doesn't care if the fridge was unplugged and the meat may have spoiled. She still bakes the fish that Matthias refuses to eat. Liv takes a bite in front of him and says it's yummy, but Matthias has his doubts.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As Matthias delves further into the mystery, his paranoia increases to the point that he sees the floor tiles of the basement breathing and sees the ghosts of the workers during the car wash.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Unable to find any more information, he goes straight to the source: his father. His father tells him that the factory was a confusing building, and that helps need to find the blueprints to navigate through.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Matthias becomes testy and frustrated. He picks fights with Liv, even dropping one of her pies on the floor that she was supposed to deliver. Apparently, her customers or friends won't mind one less promised pie.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv storms out, but not before ordering Matthias to clean up the mess he made.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After the party, Liv dances alone. Literally, none of the guests are dancing. After unwinding, she takes a taxi home, clearly too drunk to drive. She enters home to see Matthias sitting downstairs and looking upset. She hugs him, and all is forgiven.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Hopefully, he did clean up the pie.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As Matthias' paranoia increases, he becomes more distant from his wife and becomes determined to find out what happened at the factory. He finds a box of the blueprints and takes them to his father, who compliments him. Matthias is clearly thrilled to have his father's approval and doesn't really feel like leaving him after visiting hours are over.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv is livid when Matthias rejects her intervention and throws out Timme for being too concerned. She takes her child, and goes for a walk. She meets the woman from the organic mart again who finally tells her that Matthias and Pol had a tough time living in this town after Michelle died.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv softens and heads back home where Matthias has cooked for her. The meal is atrocious, and both of them end up spitting it out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While Liv is away, Matthias keeps making videos about going into tunnels to clear his father's name. Timme, who is always constantly watching Matthias videos, grows concerned and calls Liv who doesn't pick up her phone.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He goes to find Matthias who has gone completely bonkers at this point. He strikes Timme and flees.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg01vLcsBVpa-7r7ihB7k6QSyiOsh6A2LUjuqr2degHDona8MTJJpYbN2henaygm4Q3gNgmKGc3Af-AXPpsWc9uOSYcSdAjDfNF6F-WcwwQb8nCvYuBf1y2F2b-XIoZtCuS8kJBMZseCxyn2xpxniJMxYmvBVEiBxIYdTnpmRAlp_ozbqj6jkSVtGH13yqa/s600/Ending%20Explained.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="600" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg01vLcsBVpa-7r7ihB7k6QSyiOsh6A2LUjuqr2degHDona8MTJJpYbN2henaygm4Q3gNgmKGc3Af-AXPpsWc9uOSYcSdAjDfNF6F-WcwwQb8nCvYuBf1y2F2b-XIoZtCuS8kJBMZseCxyn2xpxniJMxYmvBVEiBxIYdTnpmRAlp_ozbqj6jkSVtGH13yqa/w380-h158/Ending%20Explained.jpg" width="380" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>NOISE Ending Explained with Spoilers</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv goes to see Pol who keeps imagining Michelle in her place. He almost tries to make out with her and in the process, reveals that Michelle hadn't gone alone into the pond, but taken baby Matthias with her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv looks at the papers where Michelle had been diagnosed with post-partum depression and other mental disorders that were hereditary. Clearly, those disorders were passed on to Matthias who wasn't even sleeping well.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Pol had jumped in to save the baby first and was too late to save his wife. He resented his decision since then which is why he never showered his son with love, and which is why Matthias doesn't really care much for family and relationships.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv goes home to find Matthias has dug a hole in the basement floor because he thinks there may be bodies buried underneath. He jumps in, certain he can clear his father's name from the incident at the factory.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Liv jumps in right after him and almost drowns pulling him out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That's when Pol decides to be a hero and comes in to save the both of them. Pol may have dementia but he is strong enough to save two healthy adults.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The scene is supposed to show that Pol chose to willingly save his son this time around. Although, he did save Liv first who he hallucinated as his wife. So Matthias may still be a second thought.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Matthias and Liv are shown looking at the pond and playing with their son.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie ends.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Timme is hopefully fine because his injuries didn't look too severe. We will never find out what actually happened at the factory.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Or perhaps, any clue that suggested that Pol wasn't wholly responsible was Matthias' hallucination.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">NOISE is an interesting thriller and the actors are clearly skilled. The story, however, lacks clarity. Was the movie about men facing issues after the birth of a child? Was it about childhood trauma?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie lacks the ability to fully explain its message.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On the plus side, the tense atmosphere is adeptly created and the characters are compelling enough for you to want to see what happens to them next.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Scare Scale: </u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_No2ph9ANo_5zLEqf_CsC7HId-W3UaxAFw9WFfIKLReTOvM3JAYKfGe-1RVxl0ZrOhOeGA85qunIEPB6BhOgSXSWPznLSf0nl3kHeB7_T97OFKkAXGIo55YvV0830YMkbjSg4Bt3Fla1Ly7JaW_N4mkVgFBq46_5WET69ajL2153eiNFVeJTrZLdILbl/s464/scare%20scale%203%20STARS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="103" data-original-width="464" height="88" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_No2ph9ANo_5zLEqf_CsC7HId-W3UaxAFw9WFfIKLReTOvM3JAYKfGe-1RVxl0ZrOhOeGA85qunIEPB6BhOgSXSWPznLSf0nl3kHeB7_T97OFKkAXGIo55YvV0830YMkbjSg4Bt3Fla1Ly7JaW_N4mkVgFBq46_5WET69ajL2153eiNFVeJTrZLdILbl/w397-h88/scare%20scale%203%20STARS.jpg" width="397" /></a></b></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /><u><br /></u></b></span><p></p><div><br /></div>

Each cards tell a story and each card that is picked, especially in a sequence, is used to give guidelines on what your future holds. <span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In 1992, a young adult mystery novel <b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Horrorscope-Nightmares-Nicholas-Adams/dp/0006746853?crid=3BXAM1EE99ELW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KxrW_EHjv966cDea72TL_Q.28tVf4H1yvgQ30v2DP2aww4VN-g7VaP2rkpTMUDGH2M&dib_tag=se&keywords=horrorscope+nicholas+adams&qid=1709625002&sprefix=horrorscope%2Caps%2C572&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=7d0a6efca88584912ec3f4075fff9780&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">HORRORSCOPE</a></b> was published. The author was Nicholas Adams but it is now known that the true author is John Peel who was writing under a pseudonym. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Horrorscope became a popular novel among teens and is a personal favorite of mine as well. The story was about a serial killer targeting high school kids based on their horoscope readings that was published in the school newspaper. The writer was none other than our main character Robyn who found horoscopes and zodiac signs fascinating but also understood that the stars mainly influenced people and not controlled their destinies. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So of course when students start dying because of her readings, she becomes a suspect but she in turn suspects her nerdy science partner Jeff because he’s always so quiet. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Turns out the killer was the janitor. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The story was fun, spooky, and mysterious. You would not guess until the end who the killer could be. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When it was announced that there was a movie going to be adapted on it, I was beyond thrilled. But after watching the trailer for <b>TAROT</b>, my expectations have been a tad lowered. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In Horrorscope, Robyn’s mother was a tarot card reader but Robyn did not believe in it at all which is why turning the story from zodiac signs to tarot cards is a bit disappointing because why make a story on tarot cards that the main character did not believe in?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After watching the trailer for TAROT, I am no longer disappointed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The trailer for TAROT reveals just who eerie and gruesome the movie is really going to be. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Whether or not the main character is going to be called Robyn, remains to be seen because there is no indication of what the names of all the characters are. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the trailer, we see a group of high school kids, indulging in a tarot card reading. However, the girl doing the readings forgot one important rule: never use someone else’s tarot card deck. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And since she just “found it” there is obviously going to be something not so nice things happening to these kids. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After each character picks a card, they are targeted by the creatures depicted in the cards. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In one scene, we see a girl come face to face with the grotesque creature in her card after which she loses her balance and falls off the ladder leading to the attic.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6qV1DwJ-XRU?si=_4xfsr6yltJh63Nn" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In the next instant, the ladder comes down on her. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The others are haunted by the creatures corresponding to the cards they picked. Can they make it out alive?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">TAROT definitely seems like a must-see movie for horror fans but it remains to be seen if it will work on the box office. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg have written and directed this movie based on Nicholas Adams’ book. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie stars Avantika, Harriet Slater, and Jacob Batalon. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>TAROT releases on May 10th. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gcx/Under-20/gfhz/events?canBeEGifted=false&canBeGiftWrapped=false&categoryId=NAS-Easter-under20&getItByToday=false&getItByTomorrow=false&isLimitedTimeOffer=false&isPrime=false&priceTo=20&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=0CGMZBPN2JFZZK6827DS&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=e1d5394b-9e7c-4870-9819-c9d087db2b72&pf_rd_i=120716889011&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=f535034e1235918db4d9f3db52db83e5&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Check out these Easter Deals under $20</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0-GmPI3RHUp-AaaNfs0_2XhMtfhlV0oMpmHZ4w-6EaaLgnux9hPsaxWAWhHSYOu_Lc_MghMWeabKsmIIjsxmFj8-SJWOY-urmdt7zddVsLjBStoSEuIX1z9BYdM1PijuzKyP_k6cDdZdo0Ovq9d6d4bkt-7QzeLnpRZICUiBzobSZ-2tutgpfoURG4N8/s640/In%20other%20news.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0-GmPI3RHUp-AaaNfs0_2XhMtfhlV0oMpmHZ4w-6EaaLgnux9hPsaxWAWhHSYOu_Lc_MghMWeabKsmIIjsxmFj8-SJWOY-urmdt7zddVsLjBStoSEuIX1z9BYdM1PijuzKyP_k6cDdZdo0Ovq9d6d4bkt-7QzeLnpRZICUiBzobSZ-2tutgpfoURG4N8/w400-h200/In%20other%20news.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The Legend of Lake Hollow has a trailer and if you are in the mood to watch a movie with a lot of horror tropes and really ‘hollow’ acting, then this is the movie for you. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The trailer for the movie starts off well initially with the setting of a group of friends spending their holidays at a cabin in the middle of nowhere. On the way to a hike, they check the trail cameras and find a picture of a creepy creature. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They then get a visit from the caretaker of the property who looks like he’s holding onto a lot of secrets.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CdjTN--6y3k?si=glUBEDkxITzXrxDd" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> Later when the friends go to search for him, he is conveniently not there.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The friends talk about men with axes, coyotes and whatnot. There’s a girl with a malicious grin, a board that says Wendigo and lots of people standing in the woods in the middle of the night, trying to look creepy. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It seems to be one of those movies that has too much of everything except for acting skills. The dialogues are choppy and the acting, yes, I’m mentioning it again, is awful. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Then again, it seems to be one of those movies that is bad but it is also something you want to watch just so you can see how bad it can be.

In her dreams, she is twelve again and her brother John is nine. She is at the cemetery, atop a hill overlooking the town below. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gillian describes herself and her brother as Jack and Jill, and as per the description, it is hinted that their father is a monster to them since he abuses them. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the dream, Gillian and her brother roll down the hill and her thoughts incline towards her not caring whether or not she wins the race; she loves her brother too much to care. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But that is when the sky darkens with clouds and she finds blood on the grass. Something has happened to John and the stranger may or may not have something to do with it. He is an ominous presence that greatly disturbs her. The scene shifts towards an even more disturbing one. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the next chapter, we find out that Gillian is all grown up and married to a man called Chris who is greatly concerned for her psychological state. Gillian has been having the same nightmare for a long time now and it is affecting her health. But she is shown to be irritated by her husband and hints at the things that she used to find endearing before, no longer are to her. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The story definitely has potential to be a good read on a rainy afternoon. It is the kind of thriller that will keep you hooked and make you read the book in one day. The book is about a little more than a hundred pages, so it may just be possible. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The writing flows well and the sentences are almost poetic. But if you have read enough thrillers, you would guess where the story is headed from the sample chapters itself. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> Nevertheless, it’s a story you would want to read because the very first chapter will captivate you and invoke curiosity. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After reading the sample, should you continue reading and buy the book? Definitely. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You can safely put it on your TBR list. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jack-Jill-Kealan-Patrick-Burke/dp/1981371125?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rrvOIbFT1OLq40WrcVAn7HKKBBvukjsGZCr4V615qqIiIn0pBnX63QgoRSKxJrOPoIuyJ0XUlBLkJhccqmZFPlfzd9Yojfy7XZjseiF_pPFUK_aqboij2hHk0ELWYWJzKXJruKrceMHJ-WhtBT_p90lmUBJrZ2GYPfTvqcZyt8s5W2kUZsPI5EApUxLJSx7ThC7R7XmNPFfEf41Z6-lUTschA70EIq0i6MzkreaHYhA.oJado3MtuU6v1S5WwriRz1y1bnN7-AARBPKOUXPNkdw&qid=1709206308&sr=1-7&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=8f616dd44ce6c8ea95c3ef8f2c6659c9&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Get the book</a></span></h2><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://darkhorrortales.blogspot.com/p/horror-movies.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="700" height="114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeycsZodABcF5WdTn6g4hDxtZpAacneF-zQRdj6aCaebrnwy2lwoCDSyVtVlcpEyMDKzzTPmE5RH0rZU0NiiCrmsIIWfm1198V_cJm2mCrOkuwz5mCxKiMLHIEGg5Duc-GWXLuL1B2YB9dopcrXzjvEPu_dKoDq9GNutX_gAkThpoFYv9tIbrkL3sZlnaN/w400-h114/blogbanner1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>

She meets the doctor, Dr Lynch who explains that the procedure may not work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe is optimistic. She understands everything using an app on the phone that covers speech to words.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The procedure is done, and Chloe is asked to take some drops. She texts her dad, who never shows up in the movie.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He constantly texts, but that is about the extent to his interaction with his daughter, who went through an experimental procedure, has to wrap up the house, and be chased by a murderer.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe keeps having flashes of her as a kid, playing by a pond and finding dead animals. She hears her mother calling out to her, and she is tormented by that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She experiences a little ringing and static throughout the movie, too.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Afterwards, she heads off to her childhood house. The driver is talking continuously with her, and when he looks in the rear view mirror, he is miffed to see that his passenger isn't responding. He thinks she is rude while Chloe is just staring ahead blankly, not realizing she may end up paying a high fare now.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She reaches the house and looks around to find that the power and water works but there is a lot of stuff that needs to be taken care of.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She texts her father that, who offers to come home soon, but Chloe tells him she will be okay.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After she witnesses some lights in the house next door, she goes to look around the next day.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She meets a boy called Joshua who claims to know her since she was a kid. He also knows she hasn't been able to hear since she contracted meningitis.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He invites her into his house, where she meets his mother. Joshua settles down easily on his couch with little regard to offering his guest anything.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe then goes about her house and realizes that although there is water, it isn't hot.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She lets her father know who says that Hank will come look at it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A man then does show up, and Chloe has a hard time understanding what he is saying because he isn't close enough to her phone.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eventually, she understands he is Hank and invites him in. Hank seems like a really nice man who used to be an ex cop. He is even nice enough to fix her TV.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Nice guy in a horror movie? Is he really?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After he leaves, Chloe puts on some videotapes from her childhood so she can see her mother.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But there's some interference and static, and soon enough, Chloe begins to hear sounds that set her ears ringing. Her ears begin to bleed, and she feels nauseous.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However, one morning, when Chloe gets up, she hears the bed springs creak and is delighted. Finally! She can hear!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She puts her head near everything so she can hear all the sounds she missed, including the popping of corn in a microwave. She doesn't even care about the radiation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She informs Dr Lynch who is ecstatic, since none of the other patients have shown any improvement. Chloe pretty much insults her regarding the voice, and Dr Lynch asks if she likes it. Chloe replies with a diplomatic. It's different from what she imagined.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You can literally see the doctor's face fall.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe has to continue taking her drops.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe gets invited by Dr Lynch to hang out at a bar. Dr Lynch is clearly a bore with nothing to contribute to the conversation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe literally lays her heart bare as she talks about her mother and how she kept hearing her voice. She was hoping the procedure would get rid of that hallucination as she would be able to hear real sounds.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As the evening progresses, Dr Lynch gets to know that Chloe lied about not taking any medication. She had been taking anti-depressants, and now the doctor is worried that her trial may be compromised.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But Chloe begins to experience ringing and pain, and the doctor takes care of her even as Chloe makes a move on her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When morning comes, the doctor is gone, and Chloe thinks she has been ditched.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Later, she goes about investigating the neighbourhood so that she can figure out what is happening in the house near her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She finds cameras there and suspects Joshua. He reveals that he had been keeping scrutiny on the house since he heard weird sounds and apparitions there.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He shows Chloe the tape, and she hears a sound that makes her ears hurt.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She can also hear her mother's voice, and it is implied she is using that frequency to communicate with her daughter and tell her what happened to her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguEfxKP5ddVzxm2o_Gb3HC5f9GCo22qTHHJtCsyFLDt_kvhvmFJn4Zp_ipAKTvEOD4s6Gobw_I5HU-z3BgJNNPlihggpbFRgN1KPKMNT-8EPJm8PfvRf6d3cc_2RwEv4J3j-1rsVibFJ8U_qyrFNZOyrs_uyVCBOORwzmKdS3BtliIl8TehvwdD9sF5cl7/s600/Ending%20Explained.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="600" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguEfxKP5ddVzxm2o_Gb3HC5f9GCo22qTHHJtCsyFLDt_kvhvmFJn4Zp_ipAKTvEOD4s6Gobw_I5HU-z3BgJNNPlihggpbFRgN1KPKMNT-8EPJm8PfvRf6d3cc_2RwEv4J3j-1rsVibFJ8U_qyrFNZOyrs_uyVCBOORwzmKdS3BtliIl8TehvwdD9sF5cl7/w396-h164/Ending%20Explained.jpg" width="396" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>THE UNHEARD Ending Explained with Spoilers</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe wakes up in the house. There is a storm outside, so we know the climax is coming.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She sees Hank hovering over her. He tells her that her father, who only uses the phone to keep in touch with his daughter, has asked Hank to watch over his daughter.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as he excuses himself, Chloe goes around the house and finds a photo of Hank and her mother. She takes the photo out of the frame and finds the photo folded. The folded part is of her father, who has not come to see his daughter.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She suspects Hank may have been in love with her mother.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When Hank returns, she pretends she has to puke on him. He gestures her towards a bathroom, and she goes in and pretends to vomit by splashing toilet water.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, Hank finds Chloe's phone and breaks it so that her father can't get in touch with her, nor can she make calls.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe considers the bathroom window and breaks it. She runs through the woods and finds her way into a place where there are bodies of missing women, including Dr Lynch's.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Hank catches up to Chloe and ties her up. He remarks her similarities to Chloe's mother.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Just then, Joshua comes in to try to be a hero, only to be stabbed. Chloe manages to distract Hank and reach for a phone to call for help.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But suddenly she hears ringing in her ears and drops the phone. Joshua looks at her helplessly, wondering if she will be able to make the call to help him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly the TV comes on and Chloe sees how her mother was killed by Hank.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When Hank comes over, the frequency changes, deafening only Hank.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe manages to slit his throat when he is distracted.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As he dies, Chloe hears her mother congratulate her by saying Happy Fourth of July.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe smiles and wishes her back.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Joshua may still make it when Chloe stops hearing voices.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie ends.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While there is no explanation on why her mother wishes her Happy Fourth of July, we must make our own assumptions.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps her mother disappeared on the fourth of July? Or the holiday itself means that the soul has been freed?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Regardless, Chloe finally finds closure as to what happened to her mother.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SCARE SCALE: </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbrThsG55_2MCkAxsWClX48qc5RacFYoxjOmh5f3dWElxaqp5heLEf20pUF7pJDX8mtNiqtXWgGOfQxXHyaQg_xLET-VP1-gEkAPAi-LX5Lu1_0ZArVIXV04_56N6smBdJn3xCOPJuUtxrnIeH2Lp9mGDHgaSklf2x5Le4YNWYrizQqB8OBNAP1uynht_3/s464/scare%20scale%202.5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="103" data-original-width="464" height="95" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbrThsG55_2MCkAxsWClX48qc5RacFYoxjOmh5f3dWElxaqp5heLEf20pUF7pJDX8mtNiqtXWgGOfQxXHyaQg_xLET-VP1-gEkAPAi-LX5Lu1_0ZArVIXV04_56N6smBdJn3xCOPJuUtxrnIeH2Lp9mGDHgaSklf2x5Le4YNWYrizQqB8OBNAP1uynht_3/w428-h95/scare%20scale%202.5.jpg" width="428" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Unheard-Lachlan-Watson/dp/B0BX4DFBF1?crid=KPII1H04DYSN&keywords=the+unheard&qid=1704869002&sprefix=the+unheard%2Caps%2C528&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=a60859ec3920b6812018a2d5404d605f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Watch THE UNHEARD on Amazon Prime Video</a></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Next-Generation-Complete/dp/B0B5RH3GTQ?psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=5903e668b8e630022ab947cd54159253&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Complete Series</a></span></p>

The audience is thrilled by it and the other filmmakers think, why not make it in a different language, with known stars and bring it to a wider audience. <span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes, these endeavors work. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SHAITAAN</b> is an upcoming horror and thriller movie that is based on <b>VASH</b>, a Gujrati language thriller. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Janki Bodiwala who played Aarya, the daughter who gets under the stranger’s spell, will once again reprise her role in the remake. This time, she will play Janvi, Ajay Devgn and Jyothika’s daughter who suddenly begins to follow whatever orders R. Madhavan’s character gives out. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The trailer offers more glimpses of the movie and by the end of it, you know that it will be an edge-of-the-seat thriller. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We see a family of four, go to a vacation home. One fine day, a stranger approaches them on the pretext of wanting to charge his cellphone. He is invited in but soon enough the mother wants the stranger out while the father wants to remain hospitable. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eventually, the father orders the stranger to leave but the stranger laughs it off. By this time, you can see that the stranger had arrived in the morning and it is now night. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As the father begins to drag the stranger out, the daughter suddenly has an outburst and demands that the stranger be allowed to stay.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yxe-mIVIwM4?si=vEGvWDdtjCchQIQJ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> The family is stunned. The stranger then reveals that the daughter is completely under his influence. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It is really hypnosis as he says or is it some sort of black magic? The parents are terrorized by their possessed daughter while they also have to helplessly watch their daughter agree to anything the stranger asks of her. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A fight ensues but the father finds himself on the losing side as the stranger smirks and the daughter does whatever it takes to keep the family frightened for their lives. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We do see a glimpse of the stranger dressed in black robes and conducting black magic. Is that what is happening?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The poster for the movie shows voodoo dolls and so it is safe to assume that something supernatural is afoot. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie is based on a story by Krishnadev Yagnik. Directed by Vikas Behl, and written by Aamil Keeyan Khan, the movie stars Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, Jyothika, and Janki Bodiwala. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SHAITAAN releases on March 8th. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKMhG3qxLNZwDcnwTcOJye3GpZlRPlc_LnzrgdNYaAmXZh8Qu6dQq0vOr-DzvQ2TT4WaU42xuO0YPpV2lrQVy5FQBJsSCeaZx4GOHobWw6Pvfzzr9UXmjKB1f-Q7tIA5HDWB1hyphenhyphenggmYMukm_WC56-Ky1uB8ZsRL5ui17G2iPphTrtD-5mxADbikCNyzt8s/s640/In%20other%20news.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKMhG3qxLNZwDcnwTcOJye3GpZlRPlc_LnzrgdNYaAmXZh8Qu6dQq0vOr-DzvQ2TT4WaU42xuO0YPpV2lrQVy5FQBJsSCeaZx4GOHobWw6Pvfzzr9UXmjKB1f-Q7tIA5HDWB1hyphenhyphenggmYMukm_WC56-Ky1uB8ZsRL5ui17G2iPphTrtD-5mxADbikCNyzt8s/w400-h200/In%20other%20news.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">NEON has hit it out of the park once again with the marketing strategy to promote another one of its films. Following the successful promotions of <b><a href="https://darkhorrortales.blogspot.com/2024/02/horror-weekly-news-patrick-warburton.html">LONGLEGS</a></b>, it is now employing similar strategies for its next horror release of this year, <b>CUCKOO</b>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The promising teaser doesn’t divulge much except for a young woman walking out into the night as the background plays a new report. The young woman gets ready with her butterfly knife and as the title card flashes, we also see a glimpse of a woman in a scarf and shades, screeching as she lays her hand out. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There has been much speculation about this movie but the movie recently had its premiere at film festivals and the early reviews are in. So far, the movie stands with a 60% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Critics have described this movie as bizarre and absurd, though lauded the performances of Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While the premise of the movie tells the story of a reluctant 17 year old girl named Gretched, being forced to live with her father and stepmother and stepsister at a resort in the German Alps. There, they meet the enigmatic Mr. König who has invited the parents to remodel the resort but seems very interested in Gretchen’s eight year old stepsister Alma. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Desperate for an escape, Mr. König offers Gretchen a job at the reception and she is immediately subjected to curious incidents where young women come and throw up. While this is seen as normal by the staff, Gretchen finds it absurd. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It is also revealed that Gretchen is freaked out by Alma because she absorbed her twin in utero, and that as soon as she arrived here, Alma has been having seizures. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There is a woman in a trench coat spooking everyone, the rule about not going out at night, and screeching heard sometimes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z6qdUX1jekY?si=kOfoXnqm08_YrAZ3" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> Just what is going on at the resort?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There are rumors that the plot hints at cruel experiments and that the title Cuckoo could suggest what experiments are being conducted. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cuckoo birds are known to lay their eggs in other bird nests so the movie may use this habit in the storyline and twist it into something dark. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie is written and directed by Tilman Singer, and stars Hunter Schafer, Dan Stevens, and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>CUCKOO releases on May 3rd. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://darkhorrortales.blogspot.com/p/horror-movies.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="700" height="128" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdI8wo1LIzimbC7fXEe9kcj2LmqQpuGgaxj4lkxICWP35eRPxRzOXhZ-8iXlYoK7y6F6BFggV1Sib0eTTamLrMfl2GsuFDkTW-4JEGujMXC0yn-UhugKGgFGeSlmvpM7k29WVU0UwnoObQKAU_RxiVazBegFCFSPVAdyn87suAQUWNYjkHrlNLeQrfFN_5/w450-h128/blogbanner1.jpg" width="450" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p>

And when things don’t go as planned, things eventually take a sinister turn.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cat Person has horror elements along with dark comedy and thriller elements too and as ridiculous as the climax is, it fits the characters. This is just exactly what these two misguided and impulsive people would do.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip1ZyGaExiIUDAOzqbydkKiZ_7g2CJmEGSt_moBoSYOkNIpLVgXMMztYYLw9jkAxpngny3AS9wKZkOoN8iANz0rrBKjB2oHBCyJ2Q_310Sh2tqRVGGfkyCA0LQzGmT1RG2-i0QgBSA0hFHsY5kT9csayJQyocdxlFy2RBvagJHCaGaw4IDAwiywwoecWiB/s640/horror%20movie%20plot%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip1ZyGaExiIUDAOzqbydkKiZ_7g2CJmEGSt_moBoSYOkNIpLVgXMMztYYLw9jkAxpngny3AS9wKZkOoN8iANz0rrBKjB2oHBCyJ2Q_310Sh2tqRVGGfkyCA0LQzGmT1RG2-i0QgBSA0hFHsY5kT9csayJQyocdxlFy2RBvagJHCaGaw4IDAwiywwoecWiB/s320/horror%20movie%20plot%202.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span><br /></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span><u>CAT PERSON Plot</u></span></span></h2><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>The movie begins with Margot at the theatre where she works at the snacks counter. Robert walks in and orders Red Vines and a large popcorn. Margot thinks it’s a good idea to remind him that he is buying the least popular snack and tries to engage him in conversation but Robert is more interested in taking his snacks and watching the movie.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We then get a quote from Margaret Atwood: Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This basically sets off the premise of the movie and explains the behavior pattern of our protagonists.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Margot is best friends with Taylor who is in charge of a subreddit called Vagenda. She promotes feminism and is later shown to be angsty over a user turning out to be a guy than a woman.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Margot doesn’t take her friend seriously but does confide in her about everything. One night while returning to her dorms, she spots a dog lurking by. She thinks it’s a good idea to bring it inside but is caught by a girl who explains that as per rules she isn’t allowed pets. Margot reluctantly takes the dog out.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>That night Margot dreams that the dog is violent and has killed the girl who had barred her from keeping a dog. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>The next night, Robert returns and Margot doesn’t make a remark about the Red Vines though he does commend her for not insulting him this time.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Clearly, Robert is nervous and wondering if Margot is laughing at him which is why he didn’t ask her out before. But since she doesn’t laugh at him this time, he finally asks her for her number.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Margot on the other hand is in her dreamland because of which she has imagined Robert to by this mysterious, enigmatic man rather than this nervous guy who just wanted to ask her out but lacked the confidence.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Robert and Margot begin texting and they text a little too much every day. One evening, as she is working late in the lab, she texts Robert about being hungry and he gets her chips, slushees, and red vines. He wanders about the lab and goes into the red room which accidentally gets locked. Margot freaks out and imagines Robert attacking her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Robert understands her discomfort and finally manages to break open the door but ends up killing the ants in the colony that was placed near the door. The professor comes in and scolds them both, and Margot is slightly surprised that Robert is knowledgeable about ants and ant bites.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>On her father’s birthday, she is coerced into performing a sultry song after which she catches the eye of her ex who claims that after he spent time with her, he thought he might prefer his own gender but then recently found out he was asexual.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Margot takes this remark personally and believes that she isn’t pretty enough which is why her ex would rather not be with someone at all. That night, she sends a racy photo to Robert and then gets disturbed when he doesn’t reply back. He even makes excuses about being busy and she imagines what he must be busy with at work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Margot also realizes then that she has absolutely no idea what Robert does.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So far, it seems Margot has a relationship with Robert more in her mind than in reality.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eventually, Robert texts her back right after Taylor tells her to let him go. Robert wants to take her out on a movie that stars Harrison Ford. Margot isn’t too thrilled to see a Star Wars movie but after he implies that she rather watch a boring documentary, she fakes interest in the movie.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">During the movie, Robert notices that she is not into it and is disappointed. He later explains that he finds the relationship between Han and Leia very romantic and wanted to share it with her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Margot is touched and tries to put in a little more effort into their date. Later, Robert takes her to a bar where she has to give her ID. She is obviously not let in and Robert is stunned that she is only twenty-years old but he is in his early thirties.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While comforting her, the two kiss and Margot doesn’t like it. She imagines talking to a couple therapist and bragging about being a better kisser than Robert.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In real life, the two end up at his house and she begins to look for the cats he had told her he had.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rXkOmGlaiLs?si=lqrybsq4kREyjxjT" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> They start to make out and Margot finds herself not enjoying at all. She imagines seeing herself outside of the situation she is in. Her other self demands that she puts an end to it but Margo either doesn’t want to hurt Robert’s feelings or is afraid of what he might do to her, which is why she thinks it is safer to just go along with it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She then fakes being pleasured and is relieved that it is all over. After talking to Taylor, her friend advises that she breaks up with Robert, but Margot is hesitant.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Taylor takes her phone and texts Robert that she doesn’t want to see her anymore.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Robert initially sends a polite message that he understands but after some time he sends her continuous messages, demanding an explanation of why they are broken up.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Margot is stunned when he calls her an expletive but is glad she is no longer seeing him anymore.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At a party, she spots Robert sitting at a table near the window and uses her friends’ help to escape from there. Robert however did notice her and even sends her a text which she avoids replying to.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Then one night, she sees Robert outside the theatre and calls the police. The policewoman explains that Robert hasn’t broken any laws yet because he hasn’t threatened her or hurt her.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Taylor and Margot decide that they don’t want to wait for something to happen and look for a way to protect themselves.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The two go to a store and end up buying a tracking device and pepper spray after realizing a gun or knife would be a little too much.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZADl8NPt_qPlJyLa4c3_7JNG8SDMBw448FJLCa9FObs6gCey6zGLKqJcW8SpzycnsUb4r4x0rqn0hW4uSxB7TbDp4DrDqS23Kz26i38L8ZHfBAp7oyxBBzuVRzm0AMI660kY9UAQnPbUggxHhzpsHWY_HJKrNiBwgsgvTO_jNmr0l697WJZMOaimQ2ey/s600/Ending%20Explained.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="600" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZADl8NPt_qPlJyLa4c3_7JNG8SDMBw448FJLCa9FObs6gCey6zGLKqJcW8SpzycnsUb4r4x0rqn0hW4uSxB7TbDp4DrDqS23Kz26i38L8ZHfBAp7oyxBBzuVRzm0AMI660kY9UAQnPbUggxHhzpsHWY_HJKrNiBwgsgvTO_jNmr0l697WJZMOaimQ2ey/w419-h174/Ending%20Explained.jpg" width="419" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>CAT PERSON Ending Explained</u></span></h2><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Margot and Taylor are in their room, contemplating how to put a tracking device on Robert’s car when two guys enter unannounced. Taylor berates them for not respecting a girl’s privacy. Margot gives Taylor an earful about being too biased and apologizes to the two guys who just wanted to invite the girls to a party.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Taylor and Margot get into an argument and Margot tells her friend that she is simply using her friends as a sounding board and that she doesn’t care about her opinions. Taylor reminds Margot that she isn’t good at relationships.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Margot decides that very night to go off on her own to make sure Robert doesn’t stalk her. Taylor realizes a little late that her friend has gone off in the middle of the night and takes the help of her online nemesis to track her down.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, Margot stealthily enters Robert’s garage and tries to place the tracker but sees a dog inside, the very same one she had found outside her dorms.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Robert enters too and is shocked to find her. He sees her as a trespasser and seems genuinely frightened. Margot ends up removing her pepper spray for defense but accidentally sprays it in her eyes. She also falls backwards and knocks herself out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When she awakens, Robert has placed a towel for her head injury and is roaming about nervously, demanding to know what she was doing here and why she was tracking him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>Both Margot and Robert seem genuinely scared of each other. Margot is afraid of what Robert will do to her since he refuses to let her go. Robert is afraid Margot will go to the police and they will believe her over him because he’s a man.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She accuses him of stalking her before they started dating because she recognized the dog. Robert explains he is sick of people lying online and wanted to meet a girl in real life. This was his weird way of asking her out. Maybe he thought they would meet when she returned the dog to him and when that ploy did not work, he approached her at her work place.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Margot begs him for some water for her burning eyes and he explains she needs saline instead. When she asks if he has been maced before which is why he knows how to treat the eyes, he gets disgusted by the implication and reveals that he is a nurse but she wouldn’t know because she never bothered to ask.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He still decides to help her but tells her to stay put. Margot obviously doesn’t and is thinking of ways to get past the guard dog when Robert sees her. The two end up in a scuffle and are really at each other’s throats.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Margot opens a door to escape and sees cats running in inside, implying that Robert never lied about who he was.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Robert lunges at her and they both end up falling down the stairs to the basement and knocking over a heater. The place begins to go up in flames and Robert frantically tries to open the windows.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He finally opens the covering for the drains and asks her to come with him. Margot refuses to trust him. He closes the lid and hides. As the fire increases in intensity, Margot, now desperate, pleads to be let in. Robert opens the cover and helps her in.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Taylor arrives and is devastated when she sees the fire. By morning, the firefighters have extinguished the flames but have found no bodies. Taylor is comforted by her driver when a firefighter claims to have found something.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Turns out Robert and Margot are found unconscious but still with a pulse.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Margot awakens in a hospital and is told that she is lucky to be alive and that her mother had to be sedated because she was frantic.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Time passes and Margot and Taylor ride their bikes to the plot where Robert’s house was. Apparently, he had left town and his work place. But Margot suspects she was being told this because Robert didn’t want her to know of his whereabouts.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Later, at the theatre, another man approaches her and Margot considers accepting a date.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie ends.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If there is anything you can learn from this movie is, be careful who you are dating and texting, and find a better way to deal with breakups instead of ghosting people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And also, have good friends who will search for you in the middle of the night as you go into your stalker’s house to place a tracker.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Scare Scale: </span></h3><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIrTCl5_SM01nTzCQBj8ZlxWedCLaPr_DMZ1VGroK4Doy2N3hKVwMnWq_ILNh5VY-sBsTMuj9l3d3SvFOr8y5-6Z_az6waD8K8_dT-8qzdhZ_XA5mDHgjafbj7e66iabE4aNa-B53ckIuLwdPV9d7YsOMp5so7_5vsBdpdZKUsoxTPwqpCmkGa0vrUpzDj/s464/scare%20scale%203.5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="103" data-original-width="464" height="98" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIrTCl5_SM01nTzCQBj8ZlxWedCLaPr_DMZ1VGroK4Doy2N3hKVwMnWq_ILNh5VY-sBsTMuj9l3d3SvFOr8y5-6Z_az6waD8K8_dT-8qzdhZ_XA5mDHgjafbj7e66iabE4aNa-B53ckIuLwdPV9d7YsOMp5so7_5vsBdpdZKUsoxTPwqpCmkGa0vrUpzDj/w442-h98/scare%20scale%203.5.jpg" width="442" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>

While many praised the story for efficiently incorporating horror elements as well as writing believable tension between the protagonists, others found the book poorly written and not carefully edited. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Many readers thought that certain phrases were repeated throughout the book and that perhaps the hero of the book was a bit too rough with the heroine. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However, the readers did think that the twist at the end was surprising and that made up for any plot holes in the story. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0R9Ng6lsV2Nhygh7-FiUbWMVXc2NWPvQi4Vvg2-5mEuuMY0f5IzLxuifLL4OENoZRXnO1swvceR448iA16cwUYsKEvONsT-4jCdpkzZDI0Rja-fb4Famz9iBYSMN3Hj11PL1ltEL77cPePfWh211rsrhrDcXKWRE3y368ZVnodIbK0jqi0Qw3hUmc6YMt/s640/quick%20book%20review%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0R9Ng6lsV2Nhygh7-FiUbWMVXc2NWPvQi4Vvg2-5mEuuMY0f5IzLxuifLL4OENoZRXnO1swvceR448iA16cwUYsKEvONsT-4jCdpkzZDI0Rja-fb4Famz9iBYSMN3Hj11PL1ltEL77cPePfWh211rsrhrDcXKWRE3y368ZVnodIbK0jqi0Qw3hUmc6YMt/w404-h270/quick%20book%20review%202.jpg" width="404" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Quick Book Review of GOTHIKANA based on sample</u></span></h2><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The book begins with the author’s note and a warning about all the triggers that may put off certain readers. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We then get a glimpse into the hero Vad’s past. He was a seven-year-old when he received a prophecy. He would go to a castle and that is where he would find purple eyes. The poor thing is immediately made fun of because who really has purple eyes?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Enter our heroine Corvina who as a little girl was home-schooled and ignored by the townsfolk because everyone thought her mother was a witch since she could hear voices. It is revealed Corvina herself hears the voices too. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As she ages to twenty-one years old (the legal age for whatever is about to happen to her in the rest of the story) she receives a letter from the University of Verenmore. She is apparently getting a scholarship and so she pushes all apprehensions aside and travels to this small place and up a castle the people in the town seem to avoid. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Corvina is so happy to receive this “sign from the universe” that she absolutely doesn’t care about how scary everything is or that a girl has jumped off the roof after having an alleged affair with a professor. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Corvina then wanders about one night and see the professor (also the hero) playing piano in the middle of the night. She is captivated by her looks and thus the meeting scene is completed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">The story flows smoothly and the writing style is consistent. The author quickly makes the introductions and then moves on with the story while introducing the mystery that is going to need to be solved by the end of the book. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Going by the theme of the book, a few words seemed out of place and Corvina is given an appearance that makes most characters call her freaky. She may be freaky-looking but you know she is the one who is going to end up with the best love story in the place. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The elements of a good story are all there and there is no doubt that any reader would find it curious and want to continue reading way beyond the sample. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gothikana seems like an interesting book that readers may want to check out if they are into Goth romances and mysteries. Or if they simply want to read books that give off Harry Potter and Hogwarts vibes. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gothikana-RuNyx/dp/1250334209?crid=2TQEQYYZV5YHY&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vIyUuMDseWo9N6C_1k0SZTQ0_7yEjQkrAIU49sxY3nHrnuyOiqCbekxFeOPx1XNoDtMecZjbBVJu6dYW3o4yjwJ0ppnAujiXIaZTqUTisu0F3i2NOEmMI2K-mNeDRF0R_bb2IVlnLIVy19omSuZ_AZIG3XtrEWCv4T9tHuGCEHOmFlX7EGW6gecHOmwE3PapzYPNotPHq8chEaP9WxkvN3P4XXipEWWEqmu5pie35dw.XmXRLeoaZzLbmjXk5nCPNSxdwU9NSR0K1yFFKf6lgU8&dib_tag=se&keywords=gothikana+runyx&qid=1708321477&sprefix=gothikana%2Caps%2C301&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=66890da463a07ae0e94f8b852ff5aff5&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">GET THE BOOK</a> </span></h3><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

But that was just the Disney version. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the actual story, Cinderella does go to the ball and loses her shoe, and the prince does go around the whole kingdom looking for her, but then things take a bit of a twist. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The evil step-sisters want the prince to pick them and they are desperate enough to saw off their toes so that their feet can stick into the shoes. But the blood is a dead giveaway and the prince soon enough realizes that Cinderella is the one for him. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The step-sisters decide to flatter Cinderella and are invited to the wedding but then their eyes are pecked out by birds. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And so, taking inspiration from the story written by Brothers Grimm, there is a new Cinderella story coming our way but this time it is for all the Horror fans out there. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you enjoyed Carrie, you may just find some similarities in the recently dropped trailer for the film.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Titled <b>CINDERELLA’S CURSE</b>, the movie shows a young woman called Cinderella being harassed by her sisters.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TYFQKLy26qA?si=0OhpdI_RFGHjW91u" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> She thinks that by going to the ball and meeting the Prince, that she will have her happily ever after, but unfortunately, in this version, the Prince is not so nice. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cinderella is humiliated at the ball, laughed at and pushed around until she finally snaps. The scene is intercut with a blood-stained being that grants Cinderella three wishes. So yes, there’s a bit of Aladdin in there too. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cinderella’s first wish? She wants revenge. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And so in true Carrie-style, she exacts revenge on everyone who humiliated her at the ball. Even the Prince is seen running for his life. And then we get to see Cinderella cutting off her stepsister’s toes so that the glass shoe can fit. As gruesome as the scene is, it is also staying true to the real story of Cinderella. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Of course, there is a carriage that explodes and Cinderalla walking around stealthily using her glass slipper as a weapon, but the trailer shows just how entertaining this horror movie is going to be. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Directed by Louisa Warren, and written by Harry Boxley and Charles Perrault, the movie stars Kelly Rian Sanson, Sam Barrett, and Lauren Budd. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>CINDERELLA’S CURSE has a tentative release date of April 4th. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrDba5n-jI-Z2-_TpdiKgPjiF4FES-MYY7kRuXbJ_HxRgr5G73gDHFVhVHPA18b1Osd-gdztK9nNCkJXXe7_MdixFESfJpfwQ05KK8EyzwSdvOovWlgUjSb5NwpRWnfQxgEGoXdv7aRrsNE0wAr0-VK8Dv-55_c4af9O40zGavR4g3It1eNyNfXnbg3ZOm/s640/In%20other%20news.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrDba5n-jI-Z2-_TpdiKgPjiF4FES-MYY7kRuXbJ_HxRgr5G73gDHFVhVHPA18b1Osd-gdztK9nNCkJXXe7_MdixFESfJpfwQ05KK8EyzwSdvOovWlgUjSb5NwpRWnfQxgEGoXdv7aRrsNE0wAr0-VK8Dv-55_c4af9O40zGavR4g3It1eNyNfXnbg3ZOm/w421-h216/In%20other%20news.jpg" width="421" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> We are here for a reason and sometimes that reason could be being troubled by something creepy. Or that is what it seems like in the trailer for <b>IMMACULATE</b>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the past, there have been plenty of movies that show themes of immaculate conception or nuns harboring dark secrets. Combine these two elements and you have the movie Immaculate. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the trailer we see a nun making a confession and stating that she has been saved by the Lord but she can’t seem to find the reason why she was. When she doesn’t receive a reply from the other side, she finds that she is being pushed into a distance and someone comes up from behind her and grabs her. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">No doubt that is going to be one of the typical jump scare, dream sequence. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We then see the nun joining a convent along with other young women only to one day, throw up. As she is mocked, she is also taken to the clinic where she is told that she is pregnant. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But she’s a nun!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly the nun becomes the center of attention but for all the wrong reasons. Everyone is wondering whether she is really the chosen one for immaculate conception or is she birthing a demon?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The nun sees some nuns wearing red masks and one of them even jumps through a window. The nun is clearly being targeted and goes through incidents where she is being hurt or drowned. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At one point we even see her bloodied face as she wails. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie does not really show a trailer that has anything new to offer.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MACU-2pqVOI?si=_PxZJXKW-SyKpUMr" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> There appear to be plenty of jump scares and the only selling point seems to be the lead Sydney Sweeney who is also producing this movie. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But trailers can be deceiving and NEON is already backing one of the most creatively marketed movie LONGLEGS so they can’t really go wrong with Immaculate, can they?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie is directed by Michael Mohan and written by Andrew Lobel. Along with Sydney Sweeney, the movie also stars Álvaro Morte, and Simona Tabasco. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>IMMACULATE will release on March 22nd. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gcx/Easter-deals/gfhz/events?canBeEGifted=false&canBeGiftWrapped=false&categoryId=NAS-Easter-Deals&getItByToday=false&getItByTomorrow=false&isLimitedTimeOffer=true&isPrime=false&pf_rd_p=1cf70054-7770-4e1b-99b9-4d131f308f6b&pf_rd_r=DTKPER6JBDJXGDAE3S9A&scrollState=eyJpdGVtSW5kZXgiOjAsInNjcm9sbE9mZnNldCI6MTAxNC40Mzc1fQ%3D%3D&sectionManagerState=eyJzZWN0aW9uVHlwZUVuZEluZGV4Ijp7fX0%3D&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=b45948c2ee01355dcb64a530a5ba4f7c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Check out these Easter DEALS on Amazon.com</a></b></span></h3><div><br /></div>

After attending a party where some people have donned weird masks, they have breakfast the next day.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Em is clearly not into the vacation and is sulking. James looks bored, too.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At the buffet, a woman approaches James. She introduces herself as Gabi and says she has read his book and is a huge fan. James is surprised because literally no one has read his book. Nevertheless, he is flattered and accepts her invitation to hang out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Em is cautious about meeting new people, but James assures her that should anything go wrong, at least that would be the most interesting part of their holiday. At this point, he would prefer getting mugged.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Em and James meet Gabi and her husband Alban for dinner. Alban boasts that Gabi is a great fail model, which means she is great at doing things badly.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gabi gives them a demo, and that amuses James. Em is determined to be sulky.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The couple then invited James and Em to go visit the countryside. At the beach, Alban asks Em why she married James. She tells him that her father hated James, and that is why she married him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">James isn't amused that his wife is pretty much insulting him. He goes off to pee, but Gabi shows up and helps him with another kind of leak. James is shocked, but that doesn't stop him from completion.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Night falls, and the couple are heading back. James is driving and is distracted. He ends up hitting a man who was crossing the road in the dark.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone gets out of the car and freaks out. Em wants to call the police but Gabi tells her that if they get arrested in this country, they will face a worse fate. Everyone gets into the car, and while James and Em are nervous, Gabi assures them they have made the right decision.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The very next morning, James and Em are arrested. James is told they know about the hit and run. The punishment is a family member inflicting pain on the criminal.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That is when James learns that there is an easy way to get out of this mess. All he has to do is clone himself and the clone will be the one who faces punishment.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This option is available only for the wealthy clients.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">James goes through the procedures and has psychedelic visions of Gabi prancing about.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When it's time for the execution, James' clone is made to stand all tied up as the victim's son comes to stab him repeatedly. James' clone begs for forgiveness but he gets none.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Em is horrified while James is amused.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as they are let go, Em demands that they leave this instant and can't believe James isn't disgusted by what he witnessed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">James is intrigued and tells her he lost his passport. The argument ends. When they are laying on the bed, Em tells him she really wants to leave. James tells her she can leave without him and he will join her once he finds his passport.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Em leaves, James is pulled into Gabi's world where there are several rich tourists who commit crime and then clone themselves.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">All of them break into a wealthy man's mansion while he is in a compromising position with a woman, and begin shooting while wearing those grotesque masks.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Someone is shot and all of them are charged for the crime.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But fear not, the clones are here to take the fall.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gabi, James, and their new friends, watch their clones get executed.

The question is, who is the real clone?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">James isn't bothered but he is freaked out. He decides he has gotten all the partying and depravity out of his system and wants to return home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gabi isn't too happy about it and follows him the next morning as he gets on the bus.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She shoots at him and makes him come down from the bus. He is tied up and made to walk in front of the car.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gabi then reveals she never read his book and that is the biggest insult James has ever had. Do whatever you want with him but don't insult the book he wrote six years ago, and was never read by anyone!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This insult jolts him into action but he is shot in the leg. James still manages to get away and is cared for by some people in a farm.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gabi finds James and along with her friends, forces him to kill his clone. James reward for completing the task is Gabi who lets him feed from her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The next morning, James is a huge mess considering what he has faced and done on his vacation. He realizes he is too broken to be fixed now and decides to stay back.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie ends.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Infinity Pool has a unique storyline and a decadent first half. It is when James falls into bad company that the movie, instead of reaching new depths, becomes murky and shallow.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A better second half could have definitely helped shape this movie into something brilliant.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Scare Scale: </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29Ln7SZ6AMc8JRfzoWK2wUBklKQJOqzeO6F19kABGi4o-nJPG8rBUvGK05BRCMnOPxtui3ICP9fcmysYzanCBCVTrRZpqxDazX_9Um88HzFbyGbPukTbGngtMB3xXqcdxyjalzj2EneU1aB6v6vtGAJ4YUitI3biWcyT_63uToZHl4dJ3uN2vvzVO6lnp/s464/scare%20scale%202.5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="103" data-original-width="464" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29Ln7SZ6AMc8JRfzoWK2wUBklKQJOqzeO6F19kABGi4o-nJPG8rBUvGK05BRCMnOPxtui3ICP9fcmysYzanCBCVTrRZpqxDazX_9Um88HzFbyGbPukTbGngtMB3xXqcdxyjalzj2EneU1aB6v6vtGAJ4YUitI3biWcyT_63uToZHl4dJ3uN2vvzVO6lnp/w451-h100/scare%20scale%202.5.jpg" width="451" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Pool-Alexander-Skarsg%C3%A5ard/dp/B0B6GLFLLZ?crid=2HBDLXO9GW4QO&keywords=infinity+pool&qid=1704646962&s=instant-video&sprefix=infinity+poo%2Cinstant-video%2C378&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=0b9e5fbd275ff90a7d3fbc3e518953e4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Watch Infinity Pool on Prime Video</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://darkhorrortales.blogspot.com/p/horror-movies.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="700" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Nye2PTvW_gtj_KOlotH_-olS0l_PJhBH11vj2JLVEhSNL-Rg5ySB7-XcMXK-d17ewRvmxuyXMpKg0tIX43HJ2UWMDr-4opyv5_E8JoKExC525qNOwxeBGhXPffZQM-6PX70eLdLFxRQAkDimN4G6ZHMBBHBRyZ42PZv6xle6D885yMEzRsRH2HO2QyR3/w640-h182/blogbanner1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Twister-Poseidon-Perfect-Feature-Blu-ray/dp/B00634MLO0?psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=74c677b608102bcf04bbde7b9c088922&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Twister / Poseidon / The Perfect Storm (Triple Feature) [Blu-ray]</a></h4>

They are enjoying each other’s company and take a few pills to have a good time. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Conversation quickly turns to the occult and Juniper claims she has seen a ghost in her house since she was a young girl. She claims to have seen a woman who was nice in the beginning, only to turn antagonistic when Juniper told her parents about her. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Kayla suggests they play around with the Ouija board and soon enough they come into contact with a spirit who seems to want Erik. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After the friends stop playing and start feeling the effects of the pills they had taken earlier, Juniper demands they play the Bloody Mary game. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Although Kayla is against the idea and believes Juniper’s sudden change in behavior is due to the pills, Kat agrees to play the game only to appease her friend. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Kat plays the game without incident but something happens to Juniper which causes her to want to claw her eyes out. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Years later, Kat is a successful blogger who has returned to town for her reunion. She is apprehensive about reconnecting with her friends after the incident but still meets with them. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Before that, she meets a stranger at the hotel called Ian who is a blogger too and chases the paranormal. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The writing is engaging and the author stays on point of the story. Kat shows character development in the very next chapter. She goes from being a teenager who is in awe of her popular friend who also wants to do whatever her friends ask of her, to being this confident woman who approaches men and flirts with them. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The story is definitely compelling and since the theme is on Bloody Mary, no doubt the story will turn towards its own retelling of what happened to Mary that turned her into such a hostile and vengeful woman. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Bloody Mary is definitely a recommended book for horror fans. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bloody-Urban-Legends-Belle-Zimet/dp/B08H6TMCFJ?crid=2YQAW1ESWDW74&keywords=bloody+mary+book&qid=1707721591&sprefix=bloody+maryb%2Caps%2C305&sr=8-7&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=44739348ae95a894b9a45e84243ba68f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Get the book</a></span></h2><script>

The Resident Evil franchise and 28 days later went on to inspire more zombie films and TV shows. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Following the success of 28 days later, the sequel, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/28-Weeks-Later-Robert-Carlyle/dp/B009EES8UW?crid=28HDC2LTR38A4&keywords=28+days+later&qid=1707720883&sprefix=28+days+la%2Caps%2C556&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=palzio-20&linkId=0010ced26da75c61714c06ae253b9cc8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">28 weeks later</a> was released that saw the same success as the original although critics still considered 28 days later to be an instant classic film. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">28 Months Later, was supposed to be the next movie in the franchise, but there were issues regarding film rights and the project kept being delayed. However, the actors from the previous two movies, Cillian Murphy (28 days later) and Imogen Poots (28 Weeks Later) both expressed an interest to return to the franchise. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">By January 2024, 28 Months Later had been scrapped, and instead a new trilogy of movies will be made. The next movie in the franchise will be 28 YEARS LATER which will be helmed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">No release date for this has been set as of yet. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEvuUl1SsXIlwWLHAvAlZ_mkfv-tCDS3yuza8XR96LFh5XekO3MqgSuasFeW0LGHqqL4KybH72Q9nbjizkTVNwYn2yDq3ZII-USqpgdOr1tcaXWOMzB8vR3zJs3s2Gp9Nntyf7wo-Jwjokig9SoDvxCuhpIUOt7i7nV6ir18dHPduLn1XEdEewkjB3t-zm/s640/In%20other%20news.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEvuUl1SsXIlwWLHAvAlZ_mkfv-tCDS3yuza8XR96LFh5XekO3MqgSuasFeW0LGHqqL4KybH72Q9nbjizkTVNwYn2yDq3ZII-USqpgdOr1tcaXWOMzB8vR3zJs3s2Gp9Nntyf7wo-Jwjokig9SoDvxCuhpIUOt7i7nV6ir18dHPduLn1XEdEewkjB3t-zm/w400-h200/In%20other%20news.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The woods may be lovely, dark and deep, but maybe not so lovely in the latest horror movie. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>LOVELY, DARK AND DEEP</b> has already been released in festivals last year and has garnered positive reviews so far. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie currently holds an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with critics praising the cinematography and the haunting, complex story line that earns the title of being one of the best supernatural thrillers of the year. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The trailer of LOVELY, DARK AND DEEP offers only tidbits of the storyline. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The intro gives statistics of the people who go missing in national parks every year. We then meet Lennnon who is a new ranger that has come to work and it is supposed to be her dream job, but clearly she is also up to something personal. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Creepy things point to something supernatural and Lennon finds herself in the woods where there are missing posters of a girl named Jenny Lennon. Is that Lennon herself or did her daughter go missing in the woods?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A girl tells her to wakeup and it appears that Lennon has found herself in a nightmare. She is plagued by visions and behind her, ghosts are happily climbing trees. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Apparently Lennon goes into a trance a couple of times because she is told to wake up several times in the trailer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie is written and directed by Teresa Sutherland and stars Georgina Campbell, Nick Blood, and Wai Ching Ho. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>LOVELY, DARK AND DEEP releases on February 22nd.</b> </span></p>

The boy she's supposed to take care of is Johnny, who is dressed in a spacesuit.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Rebecca explains how Johnny is allergic to pretty much everything and doesn't talk to anyone.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Rebecca asks Millicent her age and tells her she looks younger. Millicent hesitates but tells her she actually goes to college but is taking a break. Considering she is dressed in an over-size jacket and has pigtails, she does look too young to take on such a big responsibility.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The second Rebecca asks about family, Millicent avoids the question and approaches Johnny.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Johnny warms up to her almost immediately. Rebecca is surprised that she managed to connect with her son instantly so of course she is hired.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She asks about a woman in the drawing Johnny drew but Rebecca quickly tears it out and walks away.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While Rebecca is wandering about, Millicent checks out a shirtless man at the window. She ogles at him and when he comes inside, she leans against the doorway to be creepy even more.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The man is Jacob, Rebecca's husband. He is initially spooked by her but then tells her he knows who she is. Millicent is clearly smitten by him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Millicent lives with an older man called Roger who isn't too happy with her new job but she ignores him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She spends time with Johnny, making sure to adhere to rules. The two have fun, and in one instant, even play around with paint.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Occasionally, Millicent is seen attending therapy lessons with Dr Welsh. And we also see Millicent taking LSD with a dropper. That's spoonful of sugar for you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Millicent watches Rebecca with her family and thinks she can be better. She does think she would have made a better mother when she tells Dr Welsh that the women in the park are barely bothered about their kids and are more interested in gossiping. When she tries to run away with one of the kids, the mother stops her and slaps her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She tells Dr Welsh that she doesn't necessarily desire to be a mother but does think she can be better at taking care of kids.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When Johnny's parents are away, she puts drops of LSD in his medication. Johnny becomes weird after that and doesn't mind if Millicent removes his helmet.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He has grown attached to her after she taught him how to cut into rabbits.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile Jacob and Rebecca are not having a great time at their date. In order to get Jacob to enjoy, Rebecca proceeds to seduce him in the car. Jacob is so distracted, he almost doesn't see Millicent and Johnny crossing the road.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Millicent has to literally scream Stop before Jacob puts on the brakes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Rebecca gets out of the car, livid, because Johnny wasn't supposed to leave the house.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Johnny stuns everyone by speaking his first word: MOMMY. Except he isn't referring to Rebecca.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That makes Rebecca's head almost explode. She tells Millicent to stay away but she hasn't understood yet that she is fired. Jacob takes a distraught Millicent home who seduces him and they get intimate.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">From then on, whenever Rebecca isn't home, Jacob has his way with Millicent. Johnny watches from his window and draws everything he sees.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Millicent heads to her house, and the older man she lives with, Roger, tells her he doesn't like sharing her with anyone. He did make a huge sacrifice for her by killing off his wife.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Millicent tells him he is allowed to punish her and so he removes his belt. Millicent uses the belt to strangle him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She has found someone younger now and Johnny has been calling her mother. She has a family now and has no use for Roger now.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Afterwards, she dumps him into the pit, right next to his dead wife.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It is then some twists are revealed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvL1G0KJJDXaIyvlLBBA80q7GWwcmDkOYKTxRfzjEk3Fo4YdGJOyEeob3a48MQcZhyH7UbikppW8uNvQkAH-ugVUe70AGr-HId3isPcGDXnxrKZMIQZ1rsrR9dXvdkTX-39QG2Z6gZJNJte1Du6tsgoEwxxglsUDbDQi2z1dudWvZpzvoFrINftJp0s0yc/s600/Ending%20Explained.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="600" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvL1G0KJJDXaIyvlLBBA80q7GWwcmDkOYKTxRfzjEk3Fo4YdGJOyEeob3a48MQcZhyH7UbikppW8uNvQkAH-ugVUe70AGr-HId3isPcGDXnxrKZMIQZ1rsrR9dXvdkTX-39QG2Z6gZJNJte1Du6tsgoEwxxglsUDbDQi2z1dudWvZpzvoFrINftJp0s0yc/w409-h170/Ending%20Explained.jpg" width="409" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>SPOONFUL OF SUGAR Ending Explained with Spoilers!</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Turns out Millicent is a foster kid and a serial killer. She has a diary and everything of all the foster fathers who have forced unwanted attentions on her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the diary, she has stated Dr Welsh's name as well. That doesn't bode well for the doctor who had once put his hand on her to sympathise with Millicent.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now either Millicent was unfortunate to have all perverted foster fathers or one of them must have forced himself on her causing her to believe that every man is after her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, Rebecca notices Johnny's raucous drawings of Jacob with Millicent and loses it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When Millicent comes to her house after poisoning her therapist, Rebecca tells her to get lost.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Millicent goes to Jacob for sympathy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Johnny is mad that he didn't get to see Millicent and tries to stab Rebecca but then stops probably because he realizes that she is his mother after all.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Rebecca, enraged, takes the knife for him and goes to find Jacob and Millicent, certain that they influenced Johnny to do away with her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She finds them in a compromising position but doesn't care enough to let them finish.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone gets into a tussle which ends with Rebecca managing to get the upperhand by stabbing Millicent.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Johnny appears and Millicent tries to appeal to him. Everyone thinks that Johnny is totally going to help her but he deals Millicent a fatal stab.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And that is when another twist is revealed. Millicent isn't the only serial killer in town.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Johnny has been killing his babysitters.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The parents are tasked with burying the bodies that eventually act as good fertiliser for apple trees.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the end, Rebecca talks to Jacob about purchasing more land because they are running out of space.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie ends.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Spoonful of Sugar is twisted and thrilling and the plot twists will keep you hooked.

The time period seems to be sometime in the 1800s. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Charlene’s only friend is her cat Ember and her father who she believes is one of those who don’t make fun of her voice. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Charlene is swimming when some boys begin to harass her but luckily, a well-dressed boy manages to rescue her and be kind to her. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the next chapter, the story moves forward to modern day. Penny Spark is moving to Missouri with her sister Dora who has suffered hearing loss after an accident. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Penny’s guilt stems from the fact that she was unable to predict her sister’s accident from the tarot cards and has ever since given up on reading tarot. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She looks for a job while her sister is in College and finds an opening at the Carriage House Cafe. Penny is immediately drawn to the place and readily accepts the job offer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It is when she learns that the building behind her is not only old and being renovated into a Breakfast and Bed, but also is rumored to be haunted, that she grows concerned. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Clearly, something has brought her to this place but her conflict regarding relying on her psychic abilities is palpable. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As the plot of the book suggests, the proprietor’s husband will meet a chilling end and suspicion will fall on Penny and others. While Dora will display strange behavior, Penny herself will be plagued by nightmarish visions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Something has happened all those years ago and the sample suggests that it may be Charlene who may be the furious ghost. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The writing is crisp and to the point. The author’s narrative flows swimmingly well and you will find yourself engaging with the story from the very beginning. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The dynamic between sisters is believable and loving, but it is the weight of the mystery and the promise of psychic abilities being used that will make readers want to pick up this book immediately. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The Haunting of Sycamore House is a promising start to a series that dwells on mystery, relationships and a promise of an eerie situation. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Haunting-Sycamore-House-Psychic-Suspense-ebook/dp/B08ZH6HTF6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=znXpB&content-id=amzn1.sym.9119971c-28e7-426d-b1df-798ac36bb5cd%3Aamzn1.symc.e5c80209-769f-4ade-a325-2eaec14b8e0e&pf_rd_p=9119971c-28e7-426d-b1df-798ac36bb5cd&pf_rd_r=04AW78SK77ZD1W2ETT1X&pd_rd_wg=h7SMP&pd_rd_r=be54aff6-d6e3-47be-9a34-1139fe9b8e21&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=ca44bbfa3cd50135c77cba9467420c87&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Get the book</a></span></p>

Beninati, John Gross, and Jeff Knight. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE UNEARTHLY has no set release date yet. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgesSelKEeZaUE7zk5NdKSH_jEx1XbrA84Atk44TxjeMdC1_vcnT_GL1RojhoCcVyYDDLBegXg-0umpfAb7wDN37yS8dc9vALj73Znjoqb0MIw3WZW9JGYaqUju6Z9D8T1Pkt75XQIgJlQMlokHvGiinJNnzzqk3Cv2w54USKK7w9X-Q5JNBWrJn1I0bLtp/s640/In%20other%20news.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgesSelKEeZaUE7zk5NdKSH_jEx1XbrA84Atk44TxjeMdC1_vcnT_GL1RojhoCcVyYDDLBegXg-0umpfAb7wDN37yS8dc9vALj73Znjoqb0MIw3WZW9JGYaqUju6Z9D8T1Pkt75XQIgJlQMlokHvGiinJNnzzqk3Cv2w54USKK7w9X-Q5JNBWrJn1I0bLtp/w422-h211/In%20other%20news.jpg" width="422" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The trailer for <b>LONGLEGS</b> has finally released. Or has it? </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Going by the way NEON has been teasing the audience for weeks now, it wouldn’t be surprised that the one minute, forty-five second trailer is yet another ruse. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The trailer adds more mystery to the movie and all we get is visuals of something disconcerting happening blended with an ominous background score. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Going by the trailer, Longlegs appears to be a really scary movie. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the trailer, we see a woman studying some symbols, a girl looking out the window, the dead of winter. A cross is uncovered, a woman stares through a veil, and maybe, just maybe, we catch a glimpse of Nicolas Cage. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In an interview, Nicolas Cage has described his character as a “possessed Geppetto. He further added that his character makes dolls and sends them to families to make them do terrible things. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It was earlier reported that the test audience for the movie lauded Cage’s performance but also said that his character is so off-putting that it would scare off viewers. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie certainly seems promising and a must-see for horror fans. </span></p><div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Written and Directed by Oz Perkins, the movie stars Nicolas Cage, Maika Monroe, Alicia Witt, and Blair Underwood. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Longlegs is scheduled to release on July 12th. </b></span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>

<p> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Plot: A family faces an impossible choice when four strangers show up at their cabin.</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The fate of the world lies in your hands. But in order to ensure everyone's safety, you must make a sacrifice.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So, would you choose to save humanity, or would you be ready to take the deaths of many on your conscience?<span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">KNOCK AT THE CABIN is a nail-biting thriller, and the premise alone is risky to take on. The reason this movie works is because of the actors. Without their impeccable skills, this movie could have gone downhill.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie is based on Paul Tremblay's<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cabin-End-World-Novel/dp/0062679112?crid=2BY50W6Q0JYLX&keywords=cabin+at+the+end+of+the+world&qid=1704646205&sprefix=cabin+at+%2Caps%2C913&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=598c2521fd7222acd21b2c7cb6ec667c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl"> THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD.</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, the ending is different in the movie because the way the novel ends is a tad depressing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Not that the movie doesn't have some sad, heart-wrenching moments. In fact, you may just shed some tears towards the end.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Knock-Cabin-Blu-Ray-DVD-Digital/dp/B0BT6GPJQ8?crid=5VF4JVGKMGZK&keywords=knock+at+the+cabin&qid=1706869275&sprefix=knoc+at+the+%2Caps%2C356&sr=8-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=723d06889e6a1c7be880d3ee26db83cc&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">KNOCK AT THE CABIN</a> has a purpose narrative and hits the mark because of powerful performances.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoyD4h1_lHNeEg28F4QpLbaqQkx_5NNoJK_1srIikcrQldvm_vygI_AuyLcNPEHNOEDNoJIl9u7LU1fjB8QbIwYCpWPolWiLk56WwsEkvRpJOK_sKRtIjYGL_bX2TPh5sTaiqYIpIseL8-1jgWaHhWwuOPiDWdKVLS7QgONDhr1bwAgHWHuXSSTP_oeuQP/s640/Movie%20plot.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoyD4h1_lHNeEg28F4QpLbaqQkx_5NNoJK_1srIikcrQldvm_vygI_AuyLcNPEHNOEDNoJIl9u7LU1fjB8QbIwYCpWPolWiLk56WwsEkvRpJOK_sKRtIjYGL_bX2TPh5sTaiqYIpIseL8-1jgWaHhWwuOPiDWdKVLS7QgONDhr1bwAgHWHuXSSTP_oeuQP/s320/Movie%20plot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>KNOCK AT THE CABIN Plot</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The movie begins with a scene of picturesque woods. Wen is busy collecting grasshoppers in large glass jars. She has named them and everything, and even noting down how active they are.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Just then, a large man approaches her, and Wen is considering fleeing. Despite his physical appearance, the man actually appears to be very gentle. He even goes ahead and helps capture a grasshopper for Wen.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Wen has been told by her fathers not to talk to strangers, but she is won over by this stranger who has caught a grasshopper for her. He introduces himself as Leonard, and now he is no longer a stranger.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Leonard then talks about how his heart is broken because of what he has to do today. Wen is alert when she spots three more strangers in the distance.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now, Wen realizes her gaffe because she had gone ahead and blurted stuff about her family.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">She sees the three strangers carrying weird looking weapons and decides it's time to run. She heads to the cabin and practically drags her fathers Eric and Andrew inside.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They initially think their daughter is playing a game with them, but when there is a knock at the door and Leonard speaks, they soon realize they are in deep trouble.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The other three strangers are Sabrina, Adriana, and Redmond. They start trying to break in, and Wen and her fathers try to block their entry.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They fail because Leonard has found a way from the basement, and Sabrina has just emerged out of nowhere.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eric attacks her, and Sabrina tries to stop him. She looks regretful. Eric is hurt as he falls on the floor and hits his head.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew rushes to him while Sabrina offers to take a look at him because she is a nurse.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Redmond is badly beaten up, but soon enough, the family is all tied up.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It's time for a flashback.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eric and Andrew are seen sitting across from Andrew's parents, who are clearly not happy with their son's lifestyle choice.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They leave in disappointment, and Andrew talks about how his parents made a seven hour drive but stayed only for forty-five minutes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eric assures Andrew they will stay together forever.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the present, Leonard has put up cartoons for Wen and admits he likes this show too.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eric talks about the light hurting his eyes and Sabrina guesses he has a concussion. This she knows because she is a nurse.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The four intruders decide to introduce themselves while the family looks curiously at them and wondering why they are fixing, and cleaning their house.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Sabrina introduces herself as a nurse. Adriane says she's a line cook. Redmond works in sanitation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew has had enough and doesn't really want to get to know the uninvited guests at his cabin.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However, Leonard comes forward and introduces himself as a basketball coach. He looks nervous and rueful as he explains what he must do. He implores for the family to listen to what he has to say.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now, clearly the four are symbolized as the four horsemen of the apocalypse, but they do bring different catastrophes that will end the world.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Leonard then explains the impossible sacrifice they must make. The family must chose to sacrifice one of them. They cannot kill themselves and the four of them would not hurt the family.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew is disgusted and makes it clear that nothing of that sort will happen.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Leonard practically pleads with them that should they not make that sacrifice, the world will end.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew believes the four of them are part of a cult and says that even of what they say is true, he rather the world ends than they kill one of their family member.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Redmund comes forward and says that humanity is being judged. He puts a white mask on his head and the others kill him. Why must they do this is not exactly clear.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It's time for another flashback to remind us of the love this family has for each other. This time Andrew and Eric are at an orphanage and adopting a baby Wen. Except, Eric lies about Andrew being his wife's brother.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The baby is seen with a cleft palate which explains the scar Wen has on her face. Andrew and Eric are happy to include Wen in their family.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Back at the present, Leonard drags Redmund's body outside, then puts on the TV to show what the family's lack of decision capabilities have done.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There are reports of earthquakes that cause tsunamis. Fatalities are reported and Leonard looks sad.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eric and Andrew are still not buying it. Andrew accuses the intruders of being prejudiced against their lifestyle choices. He then remembers that Redmond was the same guy who had attacked them in a pub a long time ago. He asks Leonard to check Redmond's wallet because his name is actually Bannon.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Leonard tries to convince the family that they must make a choice now. The fathers get Wen to try and escape but she is quickly caught by Leonard who is gentle with her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The next morning, Adriane has cooked breakfast for Wen and showing off her cooking skills. Leonard comes to plead with the fathers again to make a choice. They are still not buying it and Andrew thinks the news reports are recorded which is why Leonard keeps looking at his watch.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Adriane comes forward to tell them that each of them have had visions which brought them together. She tells them that she has a son called Charlie and that she saw catastrophe hit and her son not making it. She tells them about the screams she keeps hearing. She begs the fathers to make a choice. They say, nope.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Adriana puts on a mask and the fathers try to talk her out of it. But no choice has been made and so she is killed by the others. Leonard easily picks her up and takes her into the bedroom.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Leonard puts on the TV and this time there is a report of a deadly virus reaching epidemic stages and killing a lot of people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew still claims that they are being set up and doesn't believe the news reports. He and Eric begin to find ways to loosen their ropes. Wen slips Eric a knife and he takes a long time to cut through them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eventually, the two manage to get free but Eric forgets to untie his feet as he lunges. Andrew runs to the car but not to drive away. He has a gun stashed inside that he wants to get. Sabrina follows him and manages to stab his leg and his side, but Andrew is determined to get the gun. He then uses it to shoot a tree and Sabrina gets startled.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Another flashback shows Andrew and Eric at a bar and having a disagreement when a man in a cap shows up and beats Andrew up. Andrew believed it was a hate crime and gets a gun. The man, Bannon, was barely punished for what he did.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBhWqBVBFq2AZOOQtgwBuyIpSpMyKwwTdClu8CVXBaTLhoXJV92lCx1q6WzK8WxfM6Gw26Ss3_OWxpPLrJ7SFAdC7jgqdGGfKy7JDaexBCu35P5Qbb_WUCFQ7PbNvuDvnGrcNLqNH10V9TNvj41ORJO_qpB-ILZl6pxW8iykNQvv_HWhNfHTyt8CYJaLmN/s600/Ending%20Explained.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="600" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBhWqBVBFq2AZOOQtgwBuyIpSpMyKwwTdClu8CVXBaTLhoXJV92lCx1q6WzK8WxfM6Gw26Ss3_OWxpPLrJ7SFAdC7jgqdGGfKy7JDaexBCu35P5Qbb_WUCFQ7PbNvuDvnGrcNLqNH10V9TNvj41ORJO_qpB-ILZl6pxW8iykNQvv_HWhNfHTyt8CYJaLmN/w399-h166/Ending%20Explained.jpg" width="399" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>KNOCK AT THE CABIN Ending Explained with Spoilers</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew heads to the cabin and threatens Leonard. Sabrina runs in at that time and gets shot. Leonard beheads her as part of the ritual.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew has checked Redmond's wallet and found that he was indeed Bannon, the guy who attacked him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew tells Eric that their car tires have been slashed and reasons that the four intruders may have come in some vehicle. They hold Leonard at gunpoint and lock him in the bathroom.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When they hear a crash, they assume Leonard has escaped and open the bathroom. Leonard is right inside, hiding behind the curtain.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A struggle ensues and Leonard manages to best Andrew. He asks them to turn the TV on and we see thousands of planes falling from the sky. The news reporter states that every plane has crashed all over the world. Leonard tries to act creepier by mouthing the exact lines of the reporter. He wants to show just how powerful his visions are.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But Andrew thinks they are being duped.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Realizing the family still doesn't believe him, Leonard resigns to taking them all out and giving them one last chance to make a decision.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew and Eric refuse to make a decision and send Wen to hide in her tree house. Leonard slits his neck but what we get to see is his white shirt with blood stains.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Storm clouds gather and lightning strikes the trees. Inside the cabin, Eric tells Andrew that he has been seeing a figure in the sunlight and suddenly having visions. Andrew points out he has a concussion and having hallucinations.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eric tells Andrew he has seen the future where Wen is all grown up, successful in her career and has even found the love of her life. Andrew is with her and they are riding in a fancy car.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Eric then tells Andrew that he is ready to be sacrificed. Eric is shot and Andrew breaks down. Then he goes to find Wen, and takes her away before the lightning strikes the cabin and burns it down.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The two walk down a road and find the truck. Inside, Andrew realizes all of the intruders had been telling the truth about themselves except for Redmond who was actually Bannon.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew starts the car and turns the radio on. A song is playing that reminds Andrew of happier times with Eric. He switches it off.

Critics lauded the author for writing a stunning, hypnotic prose that is leisurely paced and tells a gripping tale of friendship. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However, other readers were not too thrilled with the book and found it to be wordy and over-descriptive. Many claimed to have almost put it into the DNF pile but still managed to finish it because they thought the ending would make up for the slow pace of the book. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb4FG47TqjAf-5U2k4d1zEYbkxX15TSCMuKRf6U9QgUVZUl1p91dhwwKFu4CEXdGKtdpvJjLIHxakTCDSpYrOFfodvsFP-0kd7a1UrEeMyiwzFS3mkfcyBNbNRMmZG4aGuplNRjc2AawfoQes3yaMQPDr0puLBQHzfI48HfxaWK0MbIopFMBxATDsUVuLy/s640/QuickBookReview.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb4FG47TqjAf-5U2k4d1zEYbkxX15TSCMuKRf6U9QgUVZUl1p91dhwwKFu4CEXdGKtdpvJjLIHxakTCDSpYrOFfodvsFP-0kd7a1UrEeMyiwzFS3mkfcyBNbNRMmZG4aGuplNRjc2AawfoQes3yaMQPDr0puLBQHzfI48HfxaWK0MbIopFMBxATDsUVuLy/w371-h186/QuickBookReview.jpg" width="371" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Quick Book Review of WE ATE THE DARK</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The book has an interesting premise about three friends Frankie, Poppy and Cass dealing with grief when they finally learn what happened to Sofia, Frankie’s twin. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Marya is Frankie’s employee but she has a secret that can help the friends find out what actually happened to Sofia and how she died. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The plot of the story hints at supernatural elements. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The first few chapters of the book show what happens when Alex and Tommy happen to come across an old abandoned house. It is when they find a skeleton that the truth about what happened to a girl that disappeared years ago, comes to light. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Frankie is still dealing with the grief of not knowing what happened to her sister. When she finally realizes what happens, she is broken-hearted. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It is Marya whose secrets are revealed soon. She is able to see spectres and she has seen Sofia around Frankie. Yet she does nit tell anyone about it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The story seems to be heading towards something ominous and that is palpable throughout the prose. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However, just as the other readers claimed, the story is bogged down by the overuse of descriptive words. For every little thing, there are at least two words to describe it. The author goes to great lengths to describe every little thing and do the imagining for you rather than letting the story unfold in your mind. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Because of all the extra information thrust into the narrative, there is a tendency to skip through sentences and seek out the dialogue that you hope takes the story forward. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The only interesting character seems Marya because of the way her chapter is written. Her story, while still verbose, has a few concise sentences scattered around that keeps the story moving along. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The book clearly needed a good editor to polish and make it crisp. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We Ate the Dark is 438 pages long and hopefully the story gathers steam once the introductions are made. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/We-Ate-Dark-Mallory-Pearson-ebook/dp/B0C34G6V2R?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=hINLJ&content-id=amzn1.sym.9119971c-28e7-426d-b1df-798ac36bb5cd%3Aamzn1.symc.e5c80209-769f-4ade-a325-2eaec14b8e0e&pf_rd_p=9119971c-28e7-426d-b1df-798ac36bb5cd&pf_rd_r=93GHZQTPWKD2626AYRVS&pd_rd_wg=CNevC&pd_rd_r=8c0c9837-0ee3-413f-8a17-c9cf283183d9&linkCode=ll1&tag=palzio-20&linkId=8ce5cc868840d9b5d321b6dc0d0d6e41&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Get the book on Amazon </a></span></p>
