Halloween Horror Movies!

-
Hey Guys x

Halloween is tomorrow, and as someone who loves a good horror movie or two (or ten!), I am very excited for it! Mainly to sit down and watch some horror movies.

So I decided to share some of the films that I'm watching around the Halloween period. Hopefully you'll be able to watch some of them!

Just be warned, when I say a film isn't scary, people tell me that I'm crazy because they found it really scary, so you may find some of these more scary than I did, so watch the trailers first!

Annabelle


This film is the prequel to 'The Conjuring'. It is about a couple, about to have a baby, who purchase a doll that the woman has wanted for ages. However, as soon as they purchase the doll, weird things start happening. So weird, that the husband tries to throw the doll away and they move house. But somehow, they can never seem to get rid of Annabelle!
This is a great horror film, especially if you want to be scared on Halloween. I don't really find horror films that scary, but even I know that this film is scary!

The Attic
 
This is a great film that isn't that scary. It's about a family who move into a new house with little idea of what the history is of the family that lived there before. However, as the electricity turns on and off, things are moved to mysterious places and people who go into the attic never come out, are this family living alone. Or is there someone else hidden in the attic?
I don't know if I described it well, but it's a great film. It's not supernatural, so it's not that scary, which is great if you're not that big of a horror fan!

Ouija
 
This is scary depending on how you feel about Ouija (pronounced 'Wigi') boards! It's about a girl called Lane, whose best friend Debbie mysteriously dies after using a Ouija board. When she learns this, Lane gathers a group of friends together, and uses Debbie's Ouija board to find out what happened to her friend. However, when you open the portal to another world, it's not that easy to close it again...
I personally love this film and watch it all the time, just because I like the concept, the actors are amazing and there's a twist in it that gave me chills!

The Visit
 
This is the horror film that I have seen the most recently as it's quite new, but it's so good that it had to be included here! Two children, who have never met their grandparents, go to visit them for the first time. At first, everything seems completely normal... until they realise that there's something wrong with Nana...
This is such an interesting film with a great concept and an amazing twist near the end that may just keep you up at night!

Orphan
 
This one is such a great idea! A couple with two children, tragically miscarry their third, and realise that the only way to have another child would be to adopt. Enter Esther, a girl at an orphanage who they instantly take to. But when strange things start happening, and the family begin to turn against each other, just who did they let into their house?
This is a classic horror film that I really love and I can watch it over and over again!

These are five films that I'm probably going to be watching this Halloween!

I'd never heard of this film before last year, when I watched it for the first time, so this time around was my second watch. Guy Richie's movies tend to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. This is one of the only ones where I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I didn't love the story, it didn't hold my interest the whole way through. But one thing that I absolutely loved was the dialogue. It was smart, quippy and made the film a much more fun watch than the plot itself would suggest. Another thing I absolutely loved was Brad Pitt's performance. This was probably one of my favourite roles of his. He did a great job with the character, and it was really different to everything else I've seen him in. But that being said, all of the performances were great. For me, if I had to guess why this film is considered a classic, it would 100% be because of the script and performances, rather than the film as a whole. It was the script that kept me locked in and

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

Book Review #127: The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

After the events of 'The Inheritance Games', Avery still doesn't know why Tobias Hawthorne left her his entire fortune. All she knows for sure is that she isn't a Hawthorne. But when she discovers something that suggests she's closer to the Hawthorne family than she ever imagined, Avery, along with the mysterious Hawthorne brothers, try to find the truth once and for all . I reviewed the first book, 'The Inheritance Games', HERE , and said that because I didn't love it, I wasn't really interested in reading the sequels. I picked this book up on the spur of the moment, because while I didn't love the first, I was kind of curious about what came next. I'm so glad I decided to pick this up, because I liked it a lot more than the first one! One of my criticisms the first time around was that I felt Avery was quite juvenile and childish. This time around was entirely different - I really liked being in her head, and she definitely seemed more matu

This was a first-time watch, but one that had been on my list for years, so I'm glad the Bucket List forced me to finally watch it! What a movie! I don't really know what I was expecting, but I didn't expect to be as affected by it as I was. Because this film really touched me. I was emotionally invested, engaged, immersed, devastated, broken and everything in between. I'm still not over it. There are so many things to praise about this movie, starting with the performances. Every actor was amazing in their respective role, but the two clear standouts are Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks. I've seen quite a few Tom Hanks movies, and I can honestly say that this is the first time I've completely loved a performance of his, he was amazing in this role. And Michael Clarke Duncan was phenomenal and completely made the film what it is. Then there's the writing and direction, both of which were incredible. The story is so powerful, which is due to, what I assume

Anyone But You | Film Review

After a great first date that quickly goes bad, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) despise each other. But when they are both invited to a destination wedding, they decide to fake date to stop their animosity from ruining the wedding celebrations. I didn't pay much attention to this film until I started seeing the reviews. I haven't seen a really good rom-com in a while, so hearing that this was quite a good one made me excited to see it! I liked this film, but I didn't love it. The meet-cute was really fun and unique, and a good way for the audience to get to know the characters. The cast is great, and the characters are all played really well. The main characters in particular are really fun to watch, especially when they're arguing. The dialogue is written really well and it's an enjoyable watch, but I never felt like I really got to know them, and so I never felt 100% invested in their stories. And with that, while I enjoyed their interactions, I never r
