GNoH Review: Kill for It (2022)

Written by Lizzie Fry

Cat Crawford is not especially good at her job.

Erin Goodman is the woman Cat wants to be when she’s older – smart, successful, and the best part? She’s earned it – nothing was ever handed to Erin on a plate, or to Cat.

But Erin doesn’t notice Cat. Not until something awful happens and Cat, finding herself in the right place at the right time, writes the article that goes viral. Now she’s got Erin’s attention.

The difference is, Cat knows Erin is onto her. And Cat is more than happy to toy with her colleague, especially if it gets her an even bigger story to report on.

In the game of cat and mouse, there can be only one winner.

Kill for It is a tight thriller that will keep you second-guessing Cat’s next move and, ultimately, ready for more from Lizzie.

GNoH review: Mean Spirited (2022)

Written by Joe Adams and Jeff Ryan

Directed by Jeff Ryan

A failed YouTuber’s weekend in the Poconos turns into a nightmare when a demon joins the party. 

While it won’t hold many surprises for fans of the genre who will recognise many of the tropes employed, it does take things in a slightly different direction than you might think.

GNoH Review: Deadstream (2022)

Written and Directed by Vanessa and Joseph Winter

A disgraced internet personality attempts to win back his followers by livestreaming one night alone in a haunted house. But when he accidentally pisses off a vengeful spirit, his big comeback event becomes a real-time fight for his life.

Despite some small niggles, I had a laugh with Deadstream. It’s a fun film that doesn’t take itself seriously and is just out to entertain.

GNoH Review: Hounded (2022)

Written by Ray Bogdanovich and Dean Lines
Directed by Tommy Boulding

A stately home robbery takes an evil turn one night when a gang of young thieves are caught by the owners of the house and then hunted across the estate for the proprietor’s entertainment.

Hounded is a fun film, not to be taken too seriously, but it is hard not to when the undercurrent theme and storyline could well be used as a training manual for the Tory Party. It’s not the best of the genre of ‘hunted humans’ but it is definitely worth a watch if you enjoy this kind of film.

GNoH Review: The Triangle – The Rise Trilogy, Book One

Written by Robert P. Ottone

The world, as we know it, is over. Sea level rise has all but finished off life on Earth.

Born with a gift for engineering and technology, Azlynn and her father Merrill spend their days running a small shop in the flotilla community of Coral Cove. They scavenge shipwrecks, sunken vessels, and what precious little remains of the world before the planet drowned. With her best friend Ellis, they do their best to support their community, while struggling to survive.

When a group of scouts sent by The Order, a mysterious and powerful northeastern cabal, goes missing in the nearby Bermuda Triangle, Merrill is tasked with finding them. Unbeknownst to him, Azlynn and Ellis have snuck aboard to join in on the mission to find out what lurks within The Triangle. The ancient, cosmic truths they discover may be more terrifying than they ever imagined.

The Triangle is a solid introduction to Azlynn and the world she survives in, and I am sure I will find myself back with her some time in the future.

Although it wasn’t an instant classic for me, Scary is a promise of more to come from Nekrasova and the team.

GNoH Review: Terrifier 2 (2022)

Written and Directed by Damien Leone

After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to the timid town of Miles County where he targets a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.

David Howard Thornton as Art is just superb. Art is an incredible creation, and he oozes evil and demands fear. He can do so much with a simple wave of his fingers or a raised eyebrow; he’s a genuinely unsettling addition to the slasher Hall of Fame!

Quick Review: The Cabin at the End of the World (2018)

By Paul Tremblay

Available at AMAZON

Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake, with their closest neighbours more than two miles in either direction.

As Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young and friendly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologises and tells Wen, “None of what’s going to happen is your fault”. Three more strangers arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out, “Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world.”

So begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are intertwined.

This could be the shortest review I ever write, just by simply telling you that you need to go out and buy this book if you don’t already own it. And you certainly need to read it if it is languishing in your TBR pile. I know, I know, I am a bit late to the party, but hey, at least I arrived!
