'Rebirth' (2016). Top Story - May 2018.
Hey, you still have the Manifesto?The what?The Manifesto, man.Don’t tell me you threw it away. Rebirth is a psychological thriller of the Netflix collection. I certainly won’t deny that I have become a fervent supporter of the Netflix Originals series. I’ve seen already some great movies (Spectral, iBoy, Before I Wake, and Message from the King). And also some less successful experiments (Mute and Death Note eg). Rebirth is a special case and ends somewhere in the middle. In essence, it’s not such a bad movie, but there were certain aspects that made me really hate it. Some will even find it an annoying film. I still don’t know whether I should take this film seriously or not. If it was meant to be serious and tried to create an image of how similar organizations function, then it was rather frightening. If, however, it was meant to be satirical, I guess I haven’t noticed it then. For me, it wasn’t really funny.

Liars Into Lessons Part 6
The shadows of the living room are deeper than the ones upstairs. They're all encompassing and as I step into the far corner that gives me an easy view of the stairs, whole living room, and the kitchen entrance, I let those shadows wrap around me like the arms of a lover. I snuggle into them like you would a favorite blanket on a cold, rainy night.

Liars Into Lessons Part 5
The bedroom door rattles and I have a split second to decide whether to remain standing in the hallway or take the element of surprise and use it to my best advantage.

Pillow Thoughts
Sleep paralysis is a concept I have learned to fear due to the nature of the unwelcome guests that arrive with it. Tonight is no different.

Serene Tragedy
My name is Becky Vement. I am a 16 year old girl that lives in a small town in the midwestern United States. My life is pretty normal to a point. I enjoy music and drawing. I like hanging with what few friends I have; we go to the mall and movies. You know, normal teenager stuff, right? Well, I wish my life was that simple.

He
The worst thing about the monster is that He never stopped chasing, and thus, we never got a rest. He was a being of endless stamina and dedication and determination. There was no getting away. You were hunted until you were caught and then. . . you were no more.

'What the Hell Is in My House?'
Disclaimer: Trigger Warning for suicide mention, violence, and/or concerning themes. Read at your own risk. Everyone probably knows something about the paranormal. Whether you believe or not, there's always something "funky" going on somewhere in the world. Be it the mysterious forests of Romania, the mysterious maze of the Winchester Mystery House in California, or your grandma's basement where she keeps all the canned goods (She sends you down there at the worst times, doesn't she?).

Still Life of Allister
The heat surrounded me, steadily engulfing me until I suddenly sprung awake. I felt as if I were melting as I wiped the sweat from my forehead and looked up at the beaming sunlight pouring through the top of my tent. I reached over, grabbed my pants and shirt, and leisurely got dressed. I unzipped the front of the tent and crawled out, gathering myself and moving towards what was once my firepit but since had become a pile of ashes. I restarted the fire and placed my coffee pot on it, waiting for the slow brew. I sat on the ground and leaned back on my hands, taking a deep breath and feeling melancholy. I enjoy my time alone; I spend every day pretending to care about people’s lives and carrying on small talk before returning to my small apartment alone, so I always enjoy my solo camping trips. I have always been an introvert, preferring my own company. Something about the isolation of being in the woods brings me serenity. The coffee finishes brewing. I stand and pour myself a steaming hot cup of black coffee; I take a sip and stare to my right, deciding that is the direction I will head today. I relax a bit more until the coffee is finished, grab an apple from my bag and pack up my belongings and head off to the right. I enjoy each step, sound, smell, and visual. The sound of leaves crunching under my feet and animals scurrying along as I trample through their domain. I always tend to go off paths; I love feeling adventurous and exploring places where I imagine no man has set foot before. I follow sounds and sights, going wherever I see fit. Continuing through the forest I see what appears to be a circle of chairs and tree stumps in the distance. I trudge forward, advancing toward the circle. When I get about halfway, I reach out to steady myself on a tree and touch something odd that makes me jump and pull my hand back. I then notice it’s a piece of paper in a page protector nailed to the tree. It has been there a while as it is old, weathered, and curling in on itself.

Liars into Lessons Part 4
I don't take my time with the harlot because the sound of someone dropping the toilet seat down clicks through the silence of the apartment and let's me know that at least one of my main targets is awake. Which annoys me because she is an adulterer, which I loathe nearly as much as I do liars, and as such she deserves the slow, painful death that befits her kind. Unfortunately, I just cannot take the chance that playing with her will alert the remaining two to my presence.

'Daddy's Little Girl' (2012)
France, Japan, Korea: these have always been the countries that have smothered the market on brutality in revenge films. Movies such as Martyrs and I Saw the Devil are remembered as much for their original stories as they are for their terrifying scenes of torture and pain. But from this point on, never let it be said that Australia isn’t making its own valiant effort at running with the pack. Because I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had to look away from a movie as often as I did from Chris Sun’s Daddy’s Little Girl.
