A forsaken's thoughts
or a movie review...
I wake up and the first thing that comes to my mind is: "Where am I?"
For a few seconds I can't see clear... Everything's shadowy around me...
My whole body is so sore... I can smell sweat and... BLOOD? Is this a joke?! No, this gotta be a joke. Is it my own blood?
I'm scared... I don't even want to open my eyes... What if I actually went blind? Is this possible? Oh God, no! It sounds horrible.
Wait! Do I smell gasoline? I hope not! Please, God, let my nose be wrong this one time!
Finally I can open my eyes. I wasn't wrong... I'm inside a car. I'd rather call it a wreck... I'm in a garage and the first thing I notice is that I'm not alone!
One of my friends, Jake stands around ten metres in front of me. He's not even standing... he is chained to the garage door! I immediately start to panick. What is this place, and why am I even here?!
As Jake realises that I'm no longer unconscious, he begins to swear and curse me insanely, but all I hear the fear in his voice and it's definitely visible in his eyes too.
But beside Jake I hear someone else too... Kara! From beneath the car? And Dan is yelling from behind. I want to turn around, but I can't. What the fuck?! Am I dreaming or did my body just refuse to move? No it's not my body... I'M GLUED TO THE FUCKING CAR SEAT!!!
I panick even more... My heartbeak speeds up so much, I can hardly breath anymore. No! This isn't real! This has got to be a nightmare!
"This is a fucking nightmare!" - I shout and look in the mirror to see what's with Dan, who's crying in his pain. And that was the moment when I would've dropped my jaw is I wasn't in shock already. Both of Dan's arms, and his jaw were pierced by a huge metal ring, and were chained together... to the back of the car??!! Oh my..!
I feel like I'm gonna throw up... It would probably make things worse... I gotta calm down somehow... My friends are cursing and yelling at me to do something which doesn't make the situation a bit easier. I'm so fucked... WE'RE SO FUCKED!!!
I try to move my arm, but the sudden pain holds me back... I'm done... I'll die here for sure! A murder against me and my friends... and that's it. That's how it's finished. That's where we are finished.
"THAT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR MAN!!!" - I cry one more time and shake the whole wreck trying to peel myself off the seat... with no success...
But wait... I notice a tape. This whole damn thing is Jigsaw? He's the one playing with us?! I fucking knew it!! Fucking hell, we all gonna DIE!
The tape goes off introducing the rules of the game, but I can only catch some keywords...
"leader", "friends", "task", "glue", "30 seconds", "lever", "free"
"LIVE OR DIE, EVAN!"

Author's Note: When I watched the final of the movie "Saw", this one scene really caught my attention. Returning to Vocal I'm still trying to catch up with y'all, it's not even surprising that I've got a lot to make up for both in writing and reading. So here's a strange kind of movie review: I tried to look into the victim's mind and write down what I think they might've been thinking in that brutal situation. So that's what my little horror story is about (I hope it's not considered plagiarism...)
If someone would ask for the scene, it's from the 1:11:14.
It would be weird to say that I liked this movie... It's pretty sick and full of blood and murders. However it's definitely an outstanding classic horror filled with a lot of actions and plot twists. I'd only recommend it for people with a very strong content warning and yes, this film might be disturbing for some of us.
As for the pictures, I'm sorry guys, for not being creative, but Netflix does not allow screenshots, so my only option was google. Again it's quite a harsh movie, so I didn't want to pick the most bloody and shocking pictures.

The daughter of silence
It all started when Echo was five. She kept having these nightmares where she would just fall into a dark pit, screaming insanely loud, yet no one, not even her own parents would hear her. It was terrifying. But the most horrible part was that when she'd wake up panting, her parents were nowhere to be found, just like in her dream. She'd always cry herself to sleep alone and helpless.

Shadows in the Attic
I had always loved old houses, so when I found one on the edge of town with a “for rent” sign, I didn’t hesitate. The place was charming, with creaking floors, high ceilings, and an attic that I was told had once been used for storage. The landlord warned me that the attic was dusty and dark, but nothing more. I laughed it off, thinking of the old horror movies I’d watched as a teenager.

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I flipped the book over in my hands in the centre of the small airport book shop. Although I had heard promising reviews of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hesitated. The synopsis didn’t compel me - I wasn’t much of a space girly. In high school it made me cringe when my peers would talk about the stars.

I did not like the Saw movies but I liked the original concept but we see it in so many places including Mad Max and Touching The Void" great horror piece
I am just wondering why was horror so interesting for me when I was a teenager and why I do not have interest any more since I am adult. However, here are professions wher the people have to face with things like cut legs or arms or completely wercked bodies, like my step brother working at the railway company. And I hoped we do not have to live a cruel war. I thought the human beeing is on higher level intelligence now but it was a mistake.
Well-wrought! Horror at its best is a moral tale: an inversion which makes us think of the consequences of our actions by highlighting those consequences in the most outrageous and glaring way. The Saw movies, though not all great, definitely play to this. My favorite was the first one, but I love part six, where they tackled the disgusting practices of insurance companies in denying claims. Horror is also philosophy and social commentary, again, at its best. At its worst it is a mindless gorefest, but even that has merit where we learn, like an EMT, not to faint at the sight of blood lest we be too queasy in a critical moment to do what's right. My take, anyway! Keep up the good work, Anna!
Oh actually I haven't an idea about that movie but as I am a fan of you I headed to it. Good Anna.
Yuck - I hate those bloody type movies and didn't watch that one. Glued to the seat caught my attention!!
