The Numinous by Tristan Michie

The Numinous by Tristan Michie could most easily be classified as a science fiction-thriller, but it definitely has some horror and suspense elements thrown in. Although I made contact with Michie in a writing group, I was interested in reading The Numinous based on the premise, alone. One of my favorite films is Event Horizon and I couldn’t help but see the resemblance in the book’s concept. Book Description: Light years away from home drifts a cold, bleak ship; seemingly void of all life……. Markus Clyde woke from his Stasis in a lonely, dark room, dimly lit by the emergency power. With not another soul in sight. In his confused and disorientated state, he desperately tries to figure out what has happened, why was he here? Where are the rest of the crew? With power rapidly failing and disturbing events occurring throughout the ship, he finds himself in a race against time. To get the ship home……. Or die trying.

Is ‘It Follows’ As Great As Everyone Says It Is?

Maika Monroe (The Guest), Keir Gilchrist (Dead Silence), Olivia Luccardi (Like Sunday, Like Rain), Lili Sepe (Spork) and ‘Zombeavers’ actor Jake Weary star in the 2014 supernatural thriller ‘It Follows’. In ‘It Follows’ Jay (Maika Monroe) makes the mistake of sleeping with the wrong guy and as a result she has contracted a supernatural STD, of sorts. Now Jay along with her friends must find away to break the cycle and save her life from the entity that stalks her day and night. So, is ‘It Follows’ as great as everyone says it is? The answer is yes. Writer-director David Robert Mitchell scored a home run with this brilliant horror film. The film delivers a new concept, unlike recycled ideas behind the majority of horror movies we see these days. One thing I really liked about the film is that Mitchell doesn’t rely on the heavy use of “jump scares”, a cheap, over used trick of filmmakers where a sudden
