He was your first love, but you are my first love. Since I was born, I've never felt affection for anyone, until I met you.

We asked our Discord Server how to describe Holmwood, and this was the result.

What would you put to get people to listen?

Mod Sus: Judging by the trailer, this looks really interesting, will definitely check it out.

To carry on from my last post I'd also like to make something up entirely (possibly) and propose this curve, not applicable in a way even close to being universal, but it does illustrate my point right now:

How Much Does A Form Of Media Need To Explain Its Existence (eg, Framing Devices)?

Where in an established form of media, you don't necessarily need to explain why it exists. A modern book doesn't necessarily explain to you how the words are on the page, or why you know what the characters are thinking.

Compare this to older novels which tend to explain their existence much more. Don Quixote (and indeed, the chivalric romances it parodied) claimed to be translations of works from distant lands. Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde are epistolary.

And then, of course, once an idea gets established, people start playing around with it. You get your Houses of Leaves - a book made of an annotated manuscript of an essay of a film (if I remember all the levels correctly) - works that break the fourth wall or play with their own truthfulness.

We start by asking "why does this exist?" and we get told letters, a story found, a story told, and we grow comfortable in these answers for a while until once again we find ourselves asking "okay, but why?"

Conversely we also need a "mean" character who is shown to be unpleasant and rude but everyone loves. they are later revealed to actually generally be nice but got a bad edit from production for something minor on day 1

Do you pray every night? Not every night. My mom taught me that if I have to stay overnight in another place, I should pray for my peace of mind... and to ensure there's nothing bothering me at night.

HAUNTED HOSPITAL: HEILSTÄTTEN (2018)

This is a really weird German found footage film that mixes the aesthetics of an abandoned sanatorium with prank youtube. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The twist is interesting, the movie is interesting, it plays a lot like an episode of Ghost Adventures but with actual activity . The actors do a good job with the script, overall not a bad film, just a bit plain. The story itself is new but the spooks were not (though I did like when the unlocked chain turned into a continuous loop chain, that was fun, Grave Encounters-y).

⭐⭐⭐

(Trigger Warning Suicide)

This movie is based around a bunch of youtubers who are trying to get mad views so they do a spooky challenge by breaking the law and going to an old tuberculosis sanitarium (because nothing is more frightening than breaking the law). We have your classic annoying prankster brothers,  a beauty guru, and a young upstart who is looking for her place on the internet (wouldn’t know anything about that hahaha please follow my blog). Theo is our tour guide and he is very straight forward about not liking the pranksters content, it is ruining today's youth! Theo also wants to make sure everyone is very appreciative of the heavy history that comes with the Haunted Hospital for no reason in particular, don’t you mind one bit.

As the kids begin to set up for the evening creepy stuff starts to happen and the beauty guru gets a jump scare by another random guy who they tell to fuck off and he does but little do they know it’s to be the first death of the movie! Dun dun dun! Only after our beauty babe sees a full bodied (and full bloodied) apparition in the bathtub and literal writing on the wall do our first group of two (2) attempt to leave when they discover the real dead body of the guy and things become really real for all of them. Everyone starts trying to get out but of course they all split up to do it, and Theo is in the basement all alone so the daring duo go down to find him. He is in the basement alright, but so is something else, all three (3) kids in the basement get got. 

The final prank brother goes down and in a rather gruesome scene with an elevator cable we are down to just the young upstart, Marnie. She has actually been in Heilstätten before with her sister and Theo and when they were here Marnie saw an apparition which somehow led to an accident where her sister is now in a wheelchair. Marine claims she came back for Theo’s safety but he is certain she only came for youtube clout. This becomes clear when we find out that Theo isn’t dead after all, he was doing a “prank” this whole time. Turns out he has a weird goth girlfriend and they bugged the whole sanatorium just to haunt these kids and kidnap them. He starts to do surgery on them but the whole “Marnie being missing” thing was really bumming him out so he had to go chase her, but she gets away!

I guess we are to believe that Theo and his girlfriend killed the annoying pranksters and the beauty vlogger because no cops ever showed up? They kind of just left that part off like Marnie ran all the way home and never said a damn thing to anyone about anything, not even her sister (but she had to, right? She was covered in blood or blood like substance). I wish they would have just had a little more on the ending there to make the movie complete. Sure it was nice to see Theos end and that his girlfriend was kinda/maybe a spooky ghost the whole time though but still. Pretty crazy to think Theo would do that just for a video though. I suppose it just goes to show that some people will do anything for other people's attention (please comment, like, reblog, and follow for more reviews).
