Hear me out!!!

[james-stark-the-writer]

sigh. exactly what i feared it would be. so desperate to make the horrors A Known Thing that i don't think it understands why the first movie really worked and was so scary. The Exorcist by way of Dying Light, except like truly shitty versions of both...

My ★★★ review of [REC]² on Letterboxd

SCP#: AHD

Code Name: The Demonic Zombie Virus

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AHD has been contained within six vials locked within a containment case placed within one of the biohazard freezers of Site-AN. The biohazard freezer in question is located in the Level 3 second of the on-site Biohazard labs. The labs are guarded by AFA-2 units armed with Foundation laser rifles. In the event of a containment breach a ceiling turret will activate and shoot down all unknowns and hostiles to the site that attempt to get SCP-AHD and any other samples within the Level 3 Biohazard Labs. Any testing regarding SCP-AHD must be approved by at least one Level 4 Clearance Staff member. 

Description: SCP-AHD is a virus that contains trace elements Tartarean Resonance Energy or TRE for short. This allows SCP-AHD infection to degrade the mind leading to increased aggression, degradation of common sense, sudden depression, and often insanity which are common side effects of TRE exposure. What makes SCP-AHD so dangerous is how it can spread the harmful and volatile effects of TRE not through radiation exposure but through viral infection. Through such infection the host will begin to lose their mind as they bleed out of their eyes and ears while being filled with extreme aggression and hunger for non-infected flesh. 

Unfortunately, just like with common TRE exposure, SCP-AHD infection removes the concept of pain for the infected allowing them to go to relentless lengths to find new hosts to infect. There is also no cure to SCP-AHD infection, it can only be repelled through vaccination. Thankfully just like with those lost to TRE exposure, the infected can be repelled with blessed items such as a cross, holy water, holy scriptures, silver, and prayer. 

SCP-AHD was discovered in 2007 when an outbreak occurred in the [data expunged] apartment building at [data expunged], Spain. The Horizon Initiative sent one of their researchers there along with a woman who was patient zero of SCP-AHD. His assignment was to combine science and prayer to combat the virus. Not only did he fail but the virus even mutated as a result of his experiments. So, as a last-ditch effort, he locked her away in hopes she would starve to death, taking the virus with her. This also failed as she managed to infect a dog within the apartment that bit several people before being taken to the vet. A Horizon Initiative agent and a Foundation agent disguised as the local police found the vet to be overrun with SCP-AHD infection and had to kill a majority of the people working there in order to quickly stop the infection.

The Horizon Initiative agent recognized the virus's effects and contacted headquarters while the Foundation agent contact command. Both organizations worked together to contain the building and later cull all the infected inside after leaving them to starve for a week. As agreed the Foundation would be allowed to collect samples for testing, though the Horizon Initiative highly advised against it.

The Foundation has been sure to maintain similar containment measures as the Horizon Initiative. Such precautions include having emergency bibles on standby and having those perform testing on SCP-AHD recite and remember exorcist prayers. Though because SCP-AHD is quite similar to SCP-008 (despite its biological nature) it's not difficult to contain and therefore these measures are rarely if ever needed during even testing.

However, none of this is to say SCP-AHD should be underestimated. SCP-AHD was sent to Site-AN because there is no way to develop a cure for it and without holy items or excessive fire power it cannot be stopped. Testing with SCP-AHD has shown that SCP-AHD is more than capable of wiping out the entire world within a month.

Unfortunately, despite extensive testing the origin of SCP-AHD remains unknown to the Foundation and the Horizon Initiative has refused to give further insight.

REC Trilogy

The REC trilogy has high reviews within the horror community. I decided to sit down and watch all three back to back to see what all the hype was about and all I can say is, I wish I didn't.

Let's talk about the plot. A girl gets possessed by a demon, classic. Her demon enzymes (?) spread to cause a demonic zombie apocalypse which our heroes across the three movies must try to survive without being turned or possessed themselves.

The plot itself isn't hard to understand. What is though, is understanding how someone was able to pitch this idea as anything other than a joke. It's unnecessarily convoluted and they broke the MOST important rule of a creature film.

If you're going to make all of these rules up, (ie. how long the possession virus takes to affect a person is based on blood type, you can only kill a demon zombie by attacking the brain, etc) you have to at least stick to them, and not only when it's for the jump scare.

I can get past the mid-acting, the overly complex story, and even the cheesy scenes (see: man fighting demon zombies in full knight armor), but I draw the line at continuity errors used purposely to get a few cheap scares in.

I can't imagine why these movies are rated so highly. I'd give it a 3.5/10. The effects were amazing in the first two films, but that's about all they have going for them. I wouldn't recommend this series to anyone and will not be watching it again.

[• REC] 2

2009 • R • 1h25m

In order to ascertain the current situation inside, a supposed medical officer and a GEO team step into the quarantined and ill-fated apartment building.

[hopelesslysleepy]

Me, consuming the last of S2: That was devastating. What are you in the mood for now?

My brain: Fanfiction. Quite extraordinary amounts of fanfiction.

[mytimetooutshine]

All I want from Bridgerton season 3 part 2 is an awkward family dinner with the Bridgertons and the Featheringtons. I want Prudence and Phillipa to be loud and embarrassing, I want Portia to be casually cruel, I want the Bridgertons to feel weird and uncomfortable, I want Penelope to be upset about something her mother/sisters say about her, and MOST IMPORTANTLY I want Colin to stand up for her!

as a "beginner" dipping g his toes into nonfiction but as someone who otherwise enjoys pretty much any genre (and as such is open to anything, from educational to biographical), what would you recommend?

Oh, that's vast! You are forcing me to cast a wide net and give a thousand suggestions... I'm going to limit myself to 3 ideas per category so I don't go overboard.

Nature / environment: Carl Safina's Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel; Paul Kingsnorth's Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist and Other Essays; Robin Wall Kimmerer's Gathering Moss

Science / medicine: Holly Tucker's Blood Work: A Tale of Medicine and Murder in the Scientific Revolution, Richard Preston's The Hot Zone, Paul Lockhart's A Mathematician's Lament (I mostly enjoyed the first part in which he rants about the current state of maths education and says maths deserves better) or Carl Sagan's Cosmos (if I write "or" between two book recs it only counts as one)

Language: I liked Arika Okrent's In the Land of Invented Languages so much that I won't even nominate anyone else in this category. ... But I'll make up for it by allowing myself additional titles in the next one:

Politics / society / culture: Jodi Kantor's She Said, Frederik & Bastian Obermayer's The Panama Papers, Caroline Criado-Pérez's Invisible Women, Patrick Keefe's Empire of Pain, Michael Meyer's The Last Days of Old Beijing, Barbara Demick's Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea

History: I'm realising that everything that comes to mind is horribly bleak: Jack London's The People of the Abyss, Timothy Egan's The Worst Hard Time, Svetlana Alexievich's Voices from Chernobyl... I've read some fun historical nonfiction in French but right now the only thing I can think of in English that's not depressing is Matthew Goodman's The Sun and the Moon, the subtitle of which is: The Remarkable True Account of Hoaxers, Showmen, Dueling Journalists, and Lunar Man-Bats in Nineteenth-Century New York.

About literature: Wisława Szymborska's Nonrequired Reading, Alexandra Johnson's The Hidden Writer: Diaries and the Creative Life, Alberto Manguel's The Library at Night.

(I was going to include a philosophy section but I realised I p much exclusively read philosophy in French or Spanish, and it's usually recent stuff that's not been translated... But if you've never read philosophy I recommend Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World, it's a novel about the history of philosophy so it straddles the line between fiction and nonfiction)

Biographies / memoirs: that's the majority of the nonfiction I read so it could be a whole post, but some I've really enjoyed are: Beryl Markham's West with the Night; Gerald Durrell's My Family & Other Animals; Fatema Mernissi's Dreams of Trespass, Ryszard Kapuściński's Travels with Herodotus, Mary S. Lovell's The Sisters (about the six Mitford sisters; if you enjoy it I'd recommend reading their correspondence next—Charlotte Mosley's "The Mitfords: Letters Between Six Sisters")

Miscellaneous: Emmanuel Carrère's The Adversary; Alexandra Horowitz's On Looking. Currently I'm reading Joan Druett's Island of the Lost because it's nice to relativise your own problems in life by reminding yourself that at least you're not stuck on a subantarctic island having to bludgeon sea lions and eat your own crewmates for survival.
