The Ritual Movie was Better than the Book
The Ritual was one of the most unique horror gems that was released back in 2017. This movie went viral online, and I had no idea why, until I watched the film for the first time. The movie features one of the best monster designs in horror history, and the buildup to this creature was executed so well!

Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire Had Awesome Zombie Carnage that was Ruined by its Main Villain
Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire is a prequel story before Resident Evil 6, and while this manga was pretty awesome when it came to the story and the extreme violence…but the villain for this series was kind of dumb.

Buried by Tom Baker
I discovered this morning, in between taking calls, that someone thought enough of an old novel I wrote, Buried (2007) to actually turn it into an audiobook version. I don't think it's AI either.
