MG's Haunted Library

Written/Directed: Eric England Starring: Najarra Townsend, Caroline Williams, Alice Macdonald Synopsis: After Samantha is raped at a party and wakes up with a hang over, she notices that something is completely off with her body. She's sensitive to sound, she gets sick, and despite her worries, the doctor she sees has no idea what's wrong with her. As time goes on, Samantha slowly decays from the inside out and loses her grasp of her sanity. One thing that I HATED about this movie was that the synopsis that generally describes this movie, starts with "after a one night stand". *Grabs feminist soap box* That is NOT what happened! She was raped! How do I know that? She told the guy she wasn't interested and that she was a lesbian. Then after she is incapacitated, he takes her to his car and rapes her.

Dear Visitor, I finally went to go see FLATLINERS (2017) a couple of weeks ago and I must say that I didn't hate it. Critics have been giving some nasty ratings, even Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 0% rating. Here's what it's about. Courtney (Ellen Page) is a med student who wants to know what happens to a person after they die.

Dear Visitor, My greatest apologies for not keeping up with my Haunted Library. It turns out that the Masters Program has taken up majority of my time. Which is terrible because it doesn't leave much room for blogging or writing in general. However, as we learned in my Social Work classes, self care is very important. So maybe and can squeeze some time for this blog. Anyways, just because I haven't been writing doesn't mean I've been ignoring the horror genre. I have plenty of movies that I would love to talk with you about. So please be patient while I reorganize life and find the right balance for everything. With Love, M.G.
