![]() ![]() For example, the comment right at the start regarding the house never being occupied had me thinking "ghost." Nope. ![]() I found this lack of the supernatural a little jarring, not because every horror movie needs a ghostly creature but rather the implications both in name and script. As a matter of fact? "The Last House On The Street" doesn't involve any kind of supernatural monster at all - it does include monsters of sorts, just not of the demonic nature. ![]() This film does feature the secretly bad neighbors next door plot but steers clear of the vampire trope. If you think this is a low-budget version of the film "Fright Night," you are both right and wrong.

For starters, the two young women seem to like to party a little more than usual, and their guests? Let's just say that the men who enter don't feel like they're the women's type at all. The two buddies, Chad and Derek, ogle the new additions to their street, but very quickly, things just seem to be getting weird. A house, I might add, that has never been rented before as far as the two know. ![]() Two good-looking women are moving into the house across the street.

But this is not just a story of McPherson's cult of fame. She prayed for the healing of hundreds of thousands of people, founded the Foursquare Church, and built a Pentecostal temple in Los Angeles of Hollywood-epic dimensions (Charlie Chaplin advised her on sets).

Hunted holds the darker, richer notes found in older fairy tales that weave you into their world and pull at your heartstrings in an aching manor. They both have growth throughout the tale and their story is one that called to my soul as it began to unravel into an ending that speaks perfectly to how many of us have felt at one point or another in our lives. The story and dynamics between the Beauty and the Beast are refreshing and captivating. ![]() ![]() Hunted is not only well written but an individual amongst retellings that took that final step into becoming a story that stands on its own without any knowledge of the original inspiration needed to fall in love with it. "It seldom happens that you read the right book at exactly the right time in your life, but when you do it is a magical moment you don’t forget. ![]() |
