Fresh off her role in the series “Yellowjackets”, Christina Ricci stars as Laura, a mother fleeing her husband. After relocating to a new beautiful home complete with cheery wallpaper and a picturesque lake, things soon take a dark turn when an entity sets its sights on the family. From All Cheerleaders Must Die director Chris Siverston, comes this dark tale about desperation, pain, and coming to terms with the past. In a way, the entity, a black entity that emerges from black goo to harass the family serves as a representation of Laura’s pain and guilt. Christina Ricci, where to start? I’ve long been a fan. She’s given so many amazing performances, but in the case of Monstrous, her performance is over the top, almost coming across as silly. While Ricci’s character is out to protect both herself and her son, she also seems a bit neglectful, never taking what her son is saying seriously. The story has issues. It

Scribd, the reading subscription service that offers access to millions of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, podcasts, and more, announced today that it will exclusively release Finn, the new 8,000-word work of short fiction from #1 New York Times bestselling author and legendary storyteller Stephen King. Set in Ireland, Finn tells the story of what happens when a young man, wildly unlucky since birth, finds himself caught up in a case of mistaken identity. “No one knows monsters – real or imagined – like the creator of It, The Outsider, Pet Sematary, and countless other timeless stories. In Finn, King targets a peculiarly 21st Century monster: men so consumed by spy and war games that they twist reality to suit their purposes. Subjected to torture alternately sinister and absurd, Finn travels through existential and psychological crises that are signatures of King’s fiction. Finn’s grandmother has promised that God owes him but what are the chances of that when the author of his
