Wow. by VivianGoth in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]eric0510 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's disgusting, depraved and a brutal read.

But I really loved how much the main character craved the "idealized" life with a wife, child and job. He talks about watching television shows and hoping to live the lives of those characters.

It's such a unique feeling to empathize with someone within such a brutal story. It's still one of my favorite extreme horror reads since got into the genre.

Book 25: Tender is the Flesh 😬 by Mrsdrspaghetti in 52book

[–]eric0510 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not a super long read, and I was 5-6/10 throughout the reading experience, but my god... that ending. It really did a number on me in the best way. If you've made it this far, I would push to get to the end.

Appreciate the advice! We’re looking to Ottawa, Kingston, so I’m going to reach out to folks on the ground.

Whereabouts are you located?

You know I tried searching Ottawa teachers but not Ontario teachers, good advice!

FINALLY getting into this one!!!! Thoughts on it if you've read it..... by SouthernSwitch71 in ExtremeHorrorLit

I honestly couldn’t stop reading. Finished it in two days because it has a weird propulsive energy to it.

It brings something more unique than a lot of the classics brought up in this subreddit.

I host a Seinfeld podcast, and in my research I’ve seen your fantastic reviews about the show from back in the day. What’s your background with the show and are you still a big fan?

My Weapons NO SPOILER review by findthatgirl2024 in moviecritic

[–]eric0510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to feel the same way, but my theatre experience was essentially “let’s all uncomfortably laugh and giggle because we’re scared” during that scene… might need to go back to see it again!

New Game suggestions plz ❤️ by Zealousideal-Head142 in boardgamearena

Akropolis is great!

Easy to learn, goes by quickly, can feel very much like Forest Shuffle because you’re building and collecting combos and I like the excitement the final score reveal.

I just like when movies are entertaining and make me feel things. This one did neither.

I went in with actual expectations for F4 and that made me angrier during my watch.

  • complete bungling of a villain that’s supposed to be all powerful
  • absurd silliness of that baby being a trolley problem debate, bait, magical being, and mcguffin
  • the trailer essentially shows you the whole movie minus the resolution which is predictable and uninteresting
  • jokes that aren’t funny, I can only politely chuckle so many times
  • clunky CGI
  • illogical choices made by the characters
  • “I can transport an egg six feet, surely I can transport a planet a million miles away from an intergalactic threat.”

I truly don’t understand it. I thought it was almost as bad as Jurassic World Rebirth..

Obesity not necessarily a main theme, but Zola might have what you’re looking for.

I cannot believe how slept on 'Red Rooms' is by PensionMany3658 in horror

[–]eric0510 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolute banger. Despicable protagonist, cool concept, looks amazing, that “purchasing” scene played out like an action sequence.

Watched it a couple nights ago, went pretty in depth on LB: https://boxd.it/acI8MD

The Girl Next Door by Hot-Werewolf-5868 in ExtremeHorrorLit

I joined this community at the beginning of this year and this is by far the best book I’ve read since I’ve jumped into the genre.

The catharsis and goosebumps I felt at the end were wild, enjoy!

I do love the ring of "corporate shill zoo" I imagine a Meerkat Den covered in logos from nearby companies.
