So basically I went on a website that analyzes your writing and tells you what famous author you're similar to. My results were no other than Vladimir Nabokov.

So the other day I got an urgent text from my sister telling me to watch this film. She was pretty serious, so I did that night. I was quite impressed by the outcome. Gerald's Game (2017) is a psychological horror based on a Stephen King book of the same name. It follows a couple who go on a romantic get away at the cottage. One thing leads to another and handcuffs get involved. Right when things get interesting the husband starts to heave and passes out, leaving a puddle of blood beside his head. Leaving the wife trapped, and stuck with her fragile mind. I found Gerald's Game intriguing, but even though I haven't read the book I could tell there were parts missing. The flow seemed off, which is common in films based on novels. King probably had much more depth in his 400 pages. Though I admired the symbolism and plot, I could barely call it a psychological horror. An eighth grader could piece it together just fine with perfect recognition. One other thing I found good about the film was the makeup. There is this one certain character with great FX prosthetics and zero CGI. It looked great and I wish every movie would do it. I do recommend Gerald's Game to any horror or Stephen King fan. Fortunately for me my family has a huge King collection, and I will be reading it soon.

What do you think? By the way this is by far not one of my best works lol. And I did do it twice and it came back the same.

I'm hoping to write more on here by the way, so stay tuned for that!
