As a writer myself, and someone who watches horror movies on the regular, I've seen plenty of Religious Horror, and a majority of them are fairly identical on some front: "The Repent & Pray Trope". Grave Torture, despite its pulling from Islamic beliefs, suffers from the same pitfalls. The film is, at best, middling in quality. It has very little to do with the Religious themes in the movie, though I didn't care for it, personally. The acting is done well, and the gore and tension in certain scenes are decent; however, the overall plot is meandering, bloated, and subpar. CONTENT WARNINGS: > Gore > Violence > Implied/Confirmed SA of a Minor > Bombings > On Screen Suicide > Death > Corpses > Claustrophobia > Religious Trauma > Child Death > On-Screen Violent Deaths > Violence Against Women > Taphophobia (being buried alive) > Depictions of Torture If you're comfortable sitting through those warnings, then give it a watch. You may enjoy it as a slow-burn religious horror film. I didn't much care for it and at just shy of 2hrs it's a bit of a chore to get through. But, I invite you to form your own opinions of the film.

I took a media class in college that covered this film and the whole story behind it - why it was technically banned for being a film created without approval from Stoker's estate, and everything else, I recommend looking into the production history, because it's fascinating. As for the movie itself, there's a reason it's so well-known and reviewed by cinephiles. This movie is the grandfather of modern horror films and helped inspire the mythos of the Vampire for generations. It's ominous, atmospheric, and beautiful even though it's over a century old now. It's worth a watch. A little note about the film so you know what you're getting into: 1. The film is Silent. 2. The film doesn't have graphic gore. 3. The film is eerie and while not violent or graphic, may not be suitable for young children due to its creepy imagery and can be quite scary. But, that'll be for you to decide. To sum up, it is worth watching at least once to know that you have seen it. Nosferatu is a classic and a piece of historical media that was almost lost to time and due to the circumstances of its creation. If you can watch it, don't pass up the opportunity.

I heard good things about the show and wanted to give it a try. The show is genuinely good and has this strangely soothing quality to it. The story is soft in a good way - the storytelling is well done, and super relatable. Bee is a very likable character, honestly, all of them are, and Puppycat is hilariously weird. He's also voiced by the Vocaloid Oliver, which surprised me, but made sense with the noises he makes (which are funny btw) The aesthetic of the show is very Dreamcore/Lo-Fi/Pastel and is so soothing and fun to watch. it is in pastel colors, so as expected, it can be a touch bright sometimes, but it's not painful to look at and the art style is cute and soft. Honestly, watching the show helped me mellow out in a way I didn't expect. So, if you're looking for something soothing and cute, to help you calm down after a stressful day - I'd honestly give this a watch. It's just really pleasant and funny.

Trigger Warnings: Animal Death, Gore, Depictions of Graphic Violence, Brutality, and Traumatic Events. This film may not be good for some viewers if those things bother you. Overview: The film is fairly good overall; however, it meanders a bit and the characters aren't that interesting compared to the crimes around them. Also, it's quite gorey and I would argue not for the faint of heart in most regards if you watched films like Saw or Seven then you'll probably be fine. The film is in Polish and has an English dub, but I'd watch it in original Polish with English subtitles. The crimes in question are based on real punishments for Criminals back in Pre-War Poland. Breslau was the name of the town in the movie from the 1700s until post-World War II. The movie is also based on a series of crime/thriller novels, so if you want to read those because this was to your tastes, then there's that. All in all, if you can stand the gore and everything else, I'd recommend it for a watch.

The film is extremely well done and I deeply appreciate the attention to detail on what happened to the individuals who survived the crash and the entire 72 days afterward despite all odds. It's written well and has good pacing and the crash scene is genuinely horrifying as it would be to experience in person. I'd argue it's one of the better "real life to film" adaptations I've seen in a while next to 2011's "The Impossible." Give it a watch, but if you're going to watch it with younger audiences, I would prepare them for the more grotesque nature of some scenes as they depict what happened via the accounts of the survivors. Now, a quick side note: People need to remember first, and foremost that this film is based on real events and real people endured them. If you're sitting here complaining about the film being "too graphic" and "I couldn't stop thinking about it! I was so shaken up!" You as the viewer will need to remember that the job of the film was not to merely entertain, but to put you in the place of those who endured these horrific events, and if the film left you feeling those ways, then it did the job it was meant to do. Naturally, I do encourage people to consider their mental health and well-being while watching this film as it could be potentially trauma-inducing for some and it does depict cannibalism, horrible injuries from the crash, death, and dying, and other things of that nature. But in addition, please also remember that this film is people's stories of surviving the impossible and it's not just "some lazy story that's been redone because Hollywood has nothing new" it's quite personable and needs to be viewed and treated with proper care.
