Cast Joey King- Wren   Julia Goldani Telles- Hallie  Jaz Sinclair- Chloe  Annalise Basso- Katie  Alex Fitzalan- Tom  Taylor Richardson- Lizzie  Javier Botet- Slender Man  A horror film that I watched on Netflix. Released by Sony. Legend has it that there is a supernatural being called the Slenderman. It can be summoned. However people will go missing. A group of young friends have heard about this lore and decide to take part. A week later things start to go wrong. A friend goes missing and they want to delve deeper into the mystery. Good special effects. Nice soundtrack. I will look at trivia and discussion.
 I have watched The Monster. A horror indie film.  A mother and daughter are the protagonists. The relationship between them is fractured. She would be labelled a bad mother. The daughter will going to stay with her father. They're in for a long road trip. There are flashbacks which are unnecessary. They do come off as annoying and useless in some parts. There is an accident and a monster is lurking in the woods. Zoe Kazan, Ella Ballentine, Scott Speedman, Meeko Gattuso. 
 A Spanish horror film. I am watching on Netflix. Interesting filming location. There was the civil war in the beginning. Eight years later. A poor village. Through the forest is a Blacksmith. He is an outcast. Rumours are about him having made a pact with the Devil. Other villagers are featured. One being a little girl. Lost her mother years ago. She spends time playing alone. These trailers do reveal too much. A government official has come to investigate. I saw one review on IMDb and it almost tainted my view of the movie. Good cast of actors, dialogue and special effects. Special mention to the actor playing the demon. Cast  Kandido Uranga Patxi Uma Bracaglia Usue Eneko Sagardoy Sartael Ramón Agirre Alfredo
I have watched a scifi action film called The Old Guard. Stars Charlize Theron amongst others. A great cast of actors. Saw the trailer as I browsed Netflix. I likes the concept and I have to say that some of the soundtrack is weird. Andy and a small group of mercenaries are sent on various missions. The interesting thing is that they are immortal. Along the way they cross paths with a CIA agent, a billionaire scientist and a marine that has only just learnt of her gift. You can imagine Zero Dark Thirty meets Highlander. Many characters wanted different things. I could see it from their point of view. Good special effects and fight scenes. Only released this month. Based on a book. I will look at trivia and discussions. There may be more films.   Cast: Charlize Theron- Andy, KiKi Layne- Nile, Matthias Schoenaerts- Booker,  Marwan Kenzari- Joe,  Luca Marinelli- Nicky, Chiwetel Ejiofor- Copley, Harry Melling- Merrick Van Veronica Ngo- Quynh.
Before I Wake is a horror drama. I am watching it on Netflix. Thomas Jane, Kate Bosworth, Jacob Tremblay. Kate looks hot. The Hobsons had lost their son to an accident. They have adopted a child named Cody. He has special gifts. Good special effects. Jacob is cute. Things happen when he is sleeping. He is a great actor, you need to see his other films.
