Reflecting On 16 Weeks

For the past 16 weeks, I have learned many motivational things that will help me in communication for a lifetime. Notwithstanding, the most intriguing ideas I have learned in this class rotate around the listening skills I can use to apply to my discussions, the attention on connections methodologies, and the components engaged with the communication environment. Building up one’s listening skills is crucial for effective communication. When thinking of the idea that one couldn’t in any way, shape or form comprehend the full degree of the discussion in the event that they don’t have the foggiest idea about the strategies for tuning in to the next individual or individuals engaged with the discussion. 

Creating associations with people around you is also fundamental in mingling appropriately and effectively because it upgrades the elements of the discussions being sent by completely included. The communication environment is also indispensable to comprehend that, without this agreement, miscommunication and negative ideas of the discussion could be deceiving. Communication techniques are fundamental to learn and improve how people make and depict the implications behind their words to other people.

Relationship strategies can undoubtedly frame the discussion into an antagonistic one if the individual doesn’t see how to identify with the discussion both straightforwardly and by implication alongside expanding on the elements of communication. I have learned in this class numerous ideas that I can apply to this present reality, my own life, and my expert life with regards to building relationship strategies and improving them.  

When checking out examples, figuring out how to separate the responses from the reactions is significant. This can set me up for the discussions that are testing while at the same time permitting me to rehearse and observe the sentiments and activities, I am introducing towards those with whom I am conveying (LEZakel, 2011). The response will comprise of the words or activities that depend on the sentiments and encounters while the reaction will be the rebound that depends on ongoing. Communication examples, for example, pulling out from the discussion, getting protective towards the one conveying, or being misleading are a piece of the relationship strategies. Another approach to assemble relationship strategies in communication is the point at which one gets ready for marriage and inquisitive about the thing the other is saying and making an interest in the discussion that is going on.

Listening skills can be characterized as dynamic hearing that is done mindfully in a discussion. I have discovered that the fundamentals of building up my attentiveness to utilize my own perspectives effectively. In a discussion, I have figured out how to hear and focus on the verbal and non-verbal techniques for what those conveying to me are transferring.  

I have likewise discovered that being mindful and loose during the communication interaction makes all gatherings more agreeable and mindful of what is being said. This should be possible by simply being available, focusing on the speaker, putting forth a concentrated effort, and being prepared to impart back. Likewise, having a receptive outlook when one is talking takes into consideration one to upgrade their skills of paying attention, if they concur with what is being said. Nonetheless, the fundamental listening ability I have acquired is to attempt to envision or picture to me what is being said at that exact second, yet not to where it coordinates your consideration from the current discussion being finished.  

Figuring out how to expand the consciousness of the discussion has empowered me to get a handle on all the significance of the conversation effectively. Effective listening skills improve the discussion by effectively permitting yourself to turn into a piece of what is being said. A few different ways in class that I have figured out how to improve my listening skills is through the way toward confronting the speaker and visually connecting with them. Letting the individual that is talking become mindful that you are tuning in to them is done along these lines.

The communication environment is the tone of the connections being communicated in both nonverbal and verbal strategies. The objective of the correspondence environment is to be made among the sentiments that are handed off by those speaking with one another. For a positive correspondence environment to get dynamic, there is a communication that depends on certainty and done considerately. Establishing a steady climate includes numerous strategies like assessment versus portrayal and control versus issue direction. As Dr. Jacks Gibbs, he has stated that there are six defense-causing behaviors that contrast with a supportive climate. Those behaviors consist of evaluation vs. description, control vs. problem-orientation, strategy vs. spontaneity, neutrality vs. empathy, superiority vs. equality, and certainty vs. Provisionals (YouTube, 2014).  

The assessment is the place where judgment will be made, though the depiction depends on explicit perceptions of the communication occurring. The control forces an answer, while the difficult direction is tracking down a shared and fulfilling answer for the issue (Adler, 2015). These relations will be based on the establishment of receptiveness, trustworthiness, and trust. In a good communication environment, I have discovered that those talking will feel great doing as such, and the individuals who are listening will feel something very similar. There are negative energies in a positive communication environment. Be that as it may, in a negative communication environment, this environment is made dependent on non-appreciation and question. Those in an unfavorable communication environment don’t feel willing to associate, nor do they feel good talking. This will decrease the exactness of the data being given by the speaker.

For effective correspondence among people to occur, some numerous ideas and components should be learned. Step by step instructions to effectively tune in and give your most extreme consideration regarding the speaker is fundamental expertise that could improve your correspondence styles, both verbally and non-verbally with others. At the point when the activities of the aims of the verbal correspondence match with the verbal parts; an effective communication style has occurred. I have adapted countless techniques for building up my listening skills, relationship procedures, and correspondence environment components that I am completely set up to take on such communication with others. I have taken in the contrasts among negative and positive reporting styles that I can undoubtedly forgo misdirecting others. I have additionally discovered that listening skills are vital for building up an effective way of understanding the elements of the discussion I am engaged with or if simply talking. 

Journalist View on Social Media

Recently I created a post regarding Journalism & Social Media. I did plenty of research and found the same information when creating that post as I did when creating this post. I also got a journalist perspective on the topic of journalism and social media.

I asked one of the great journalists I know to assist me with this subject. There were some great responses that I received from the professional journalist I interviewed. Six important questions I asked provided me with content to create this post as well. Here are the following questions I asked Journalist Jessica Graue;

Question 1- Where do you get your news from?

According to Ms. Graue, she gets her news from multiple platforms. The platforms she uses are all official news based and factual websites. Some of the news stations that are used for this specific journalist is WHIO, Dayton Daily News, CNN, and evening newspapers.

Question 2: What is your favorite social media platform? /Is this your go-to platform as well?

Everyone has a preference and Ms. Graue is no different. Each social media site is used specifically what they are already known for. When asking about the go to platform, Ms. Graue stated each is more so social used than to get news.

“I use Facebook for catching up. I have a page for comedy. I would use Twitter to read comments and breaking news and public opinions. Climate of society.” – Jessica Graue

Question 3: Do you like getting information from social media or would you rather stick to hard facts? 

Sticking to the hard facts because social media is not reliable is the biggest cause as to why Ms. Graue does not retrieve information from social media. Tries to stay away from Social media.

As stated by Ms. Graue, “the best social media place to get any news from is Twitter. Use social media more for local news than national news.”

Question 4: Have you ever received fake news when writing an article from anybody? 

I have always known and heard, having friends in the filed career you are interested in, helps a lot. As per Ms. Graue, following colleagues that are professional is the best way to stay away from fake news. This professional woman has been friends with associates for 16+ years. Some of her friends even work at USAToday.  

Question 5: Can you list three current stories that impact your publication?

This was a tough question because the coronavirus is the most talked about and as stated it is “tricky and scary”. The public is even finding old articles regarding this virus and many more.

Question 6: Is social media destroying the news?

Ms. Graue answered this question just how other people I have heard answer as well. “Social media not destroying news, people are. They take things out of context and it makes people out to be more vigilant. People need to be smarter about what they post.” -Graue

Everyone has there own opinions but at the same time, it can look like everyone just wants to argue. What was being explained in the quote above by Ms. Graue is when someone sees something, they instantly get a response before looking for facts. They do not take the time to find the exact reason as to why it was posted or see the individuals perspective on what was posted. Awareness can just be the reason and they have another standpoint on a subject.

Seeing fake news is irrelevant but not using it is a choice that Ms. Graue makes. There most likely are other journalists that use social media as a reference but most of the time, no one would want to use the information they are not sure is factual and opinionated. I would love to hear others thoughts on these questions, specifically #6. Social media has changed journalism and journalists minds as well. The change has been drastic and it is nowhere near close to being done. As social media grows, so does journalism and vice versa.

Journalism & Social Media

As journalism progresses around the world through the forms of technology, so does the way we receive the information that is put out there. We get information from many different sources and platforms besides the basics of newspapers, websites, or even magazines.

Social media is one of the biggest platforms that almost everyone uses on a daily bases to get statistics and knowledge. Journalism is the act of writing professional news on different platforms. Journalists even use social media to find information to put into their articles that they write.

Journalism and Social Media

As social media evolves, it gets both negative and positive feedback. Facebook, Twitter, TMZ, Instagram, Snapchat, and now even TikTok provides information to journalists so they can write a good interesting story. Just because journalists use information from these different social media platforms, does not mean all information that was put into the article is credible information.

There are many great ways that journalism is affected by social media as there are problems. Some of the main problems that I found was stuff that cannot be easily changed like the fake news that journalists can intercept and want to use. Also, if you think about it, everyone relies on social media to get a good story and find information on people or other types of news. Social media does not just help everyone be known in a good way because it can get people in trouble like civilians or cops. This also leads to the next point of how certain social media groups focus on one group over another.

How Social Media Changed Journalism

Again, the biggest problem with social media is that people look for information and they follow dead end leads. The fake news that people receive could put others lives in danger or make something out of nothing. There has been plenty of times where information does not add up to the hard facts that are later announced. This is also gets back to the point of relying on social media to. We wake up and the first thing we do is check our social medias’ for updates on situations. We sometimes call this our daily news check in or even our verification stage and see stuff that we later see on the news. Our first step is to make sure that its true by going to social media and everyone has an opinion and some people might even have facts.

All journalists are somewhat required to use social media because it assists with getting the public’s opinion on situations. This will make the public feel included on decisions or make them feel as if they are helping with something important. Journalism and social media could be very strong force or be a downfall for both parts, it mostly depend on how it is used by civilians, journalists, or even news companies.

“Classic Comedy Films”

Hey Horror fans, as I mentioned in my last blog post, I was doing something a little different. I usually do blogs about horror of course, like Supernatural Recommendation or Wrong Turn but I am focusing strictly on classic comedy today. All of the binge worthy comedy that will have you cracking up with laughter is most likely in this blog. Let’s get started!

Money Talks “was released in 1997. Reporter played by Charlie Sheen reports on small time Crook Chris Tucker that ends up in jail then in the middle of a prison break. Finding the only person who would believe and help him to clear his name, Franklin (Chris Tucker) teams up with James (Charlie Sheen) to bring the real criminals to justice. – Chris Tucker- “I will slap you man! I will slap the hell outta you. You don’t know who you messing with. I don’t even know when I’m gonna slap somebody.”

All about the Benjamin’s” was released in 2002. This is actually one of the great comedies because of ‘4547′ and ‘Dwight‘. Those references will have you crying with laughter after taking a look. This film stars Bounty Hunter Ice Cube and another small time con Mike Epps who develop a new friendship in the midst of chasing bad guys, getting a good amount of diamonds, and playing the lottery ticket for a millions of dollars. You might also know Mike Epps from the previous blog post with the Top 5 Comedy Horrors and being number 3 with “Meet the Blacks” movie.

Booty Call” was released in 1997. This is literally my favorite comedy ever because who knew that so much work could be done in one night. Sorry if anyone is offended by this film but seriously, this will have you laughing all threw out from beginning to end. Rushon (Tommy Davidson) and Bunz (Jamie Foxx) embark on the craziest night that leads to a hospital after the glad wrap situation and almost single. Rushon’s girlfriend Nikki (Tamala Jones) and her best friend Lysterine (Vivica A. Fox) who sends the guys on a midnight run or runs per se.

Rush Hour 1-3” was released in years 1998, 2001, and 2007. Hopefully there is a Rush Hour 4 because who does not want to see Hong Kong Detective Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) solve cases with the most funniest actions. Honestly, forming there own team was the best idea that happened. -Detective James Carter: “Do you understand the words that are coming out my mouth?!”

Friday 1-3” was released in years 1995, 2000, and 2002. I know we was all hoping for a, “Last Friday”, but I too am heartbroken that there will not be one soon, (Still hoping). This series has many funny characters, like Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Katt Williams, Mike Epps, Terry Crews and the list goes on. I cannot stress the must watch on these series. – Smokey: (taking a crap outside) “You better not tell anybody man.” – Ezal: Don’t worry, I won’t tell anybody else.”

First Sunday” was released in 2008. O-M-G this film has some ups and downs but is so hilarious. Durell (Ice Cube) and Lee John (Tracy Morgan) who are petty thieves but in need of some fast cash ($17,000). Robing the neighborhood church was there only option so Durell will be able to see his son. They have more trouble getting the money than should have been expected due to someone else dipping their hands in the offering pan. – Tracy Morgan -“The white Jesus keeps starin at me!”

Soul Plane” was released in 2004. After his dogs death, filing a lawsuit gets him his own airline where he can create a better experience for passengers, or so he thought. Nashawn Wade (Kevin Hart) has a tricked out plane and a high as a kite pilot Mack (Snoop “Doggy” Dogg) who gets so high he dies and the plane starts going down until Nashawn saves the day. More drama is also on board with the family of Elvis Hunkee (Tom Arnold).

Major Payne” was released in 1995. Maj. Benson Payne (Damon Wayans) has went from the marines, to being honorably discharged since there was no war at the time, to being the leader of a nonconformist JROTC group of kids. Teaching the kids was a war all by itself to Major Payne. – Major Payne: “Maybe what he need is for you to pop your titty out his mouth and let the boy grow up.” HINT- His brothers are in the last post Top 5 Comedy Horrors from “Scary Movies 1-5” and “A Haunted House” films.

Good Burger” was released in 1997. When competition takes a toll for the worst for Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) and Ed (Kel Mitchell) when they are then kidnapped and taken to a mental hospital just for trying to prove Mondo Burger guilty and sending Kurt Bozwell (Jan Schweiterman) to jail. – Ed: (to Roxanne who has come to) “Your head hit my golf ball. Then you went sleepy bye!”

Low Down Dirty Shame” was released in 1994. Another Wayans brother starring in a comedy but action is not surprising. Andre Shame (Keenen Ivory Wayans) quits the police department because he was not having much luck in a recent case. It is until after he quits that he gets a break through and starts on his on detective journey to solve the case with his soon to be boo Peaches (Jada Pinkett) who talks way too much sometimes.

There are so many movies I could name today but the list would go on forever. Here is another list of more comedy movies that you can watch for the time being since we are all stuck in the house. Let me know what you think of these films. Do you like them? Any particular ones you wanted to watch? Did I give any insight on some films that you wanted to watch before? The list is below…

Again, there is way more classical comedies than those provided. Please leave me feedback regarding future posts or movies you would like for me to review? Also, have you seen any of these classic comedies? If so, tell me which ones? There are millions of films and horror is one of the best but comedy is up there with it.

Top 5 Hilarious Comedy Horror

Hey guys, this blog post I am doing a little differently. I haven’t had much free time with work and school but I figured since we are some (horror), movie lovers, it could be fun to recommend instead some of my personal favorite horror comedic films that I have seen. Some I have mentioned before in relation to remakes of films but in a funny way. Also, next week will be different as well because I would like to recommend some classic comedy movies that are an all-around must watch. I’ll explain more on that blog post later.

Trailer

Scary Movies 1-5 is not so scary as it is funny. Though they seem really stupid at first glance, watching them will get a different reaction. It is obvious that these films were created especially for laughs and that was a mission accomplished. There are certain times where you cringe, specifically, Scary Movie 2 where there was an excessive amount of throw up but regardless, hilarious films. Also, with Scary Movie 6 coming soon in 2021, it should be fun to watch as well, at least that is what I am hoping for.

Trailer

Zombieland is one of my real favorites because of Tallahassee and his Twinkies obsession. The attitudes that were portrayed in this film, showed that groups can be not as bad as suspected. The first Zombieland, was released in 2009 and let me say, I hated certain people because of the trickery but it gets way better in Zombieland: Double Tap. Trust issues are really put to test in both films but they definitely were able to overcome them, with some inside help or even outside help. You would only understand that if you watch it, hint.

Trailer

So, I guess there always has to be someone in a movie that makes you angry, comedic horror is no different. Meet The Blacks was first released in 2016 and was a comedy version of the movie, The Purge. Talk about disobedience and a dysfunctional household with actor Mike Epps, nobody listens to one another until it’s almost too late. So many times, there are cutting it close moments but as you can see in the picture above, they all made it out. Solving their own problems was a big help. I see there was talk about a Meet the Blacks part 2, but one can only hope, right?

Trailer

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, all I can say about this movie is OH MY GOSH. Talk about crazy, this movie is funny but insane. The phrase, “don’t jump to conclusions” applies desperately to this film. Tucker and Dale were on vacation, and I think that was a pun intended because there is a part where a teen jumped over to try to kill someone and it did not end well. This movie is a very must watch film because the amount of stupid and irrationalism is express so easily.

Trailer

A Haunted House with the hilarious Marlon Wayne’s again. (Plays in Scary Movies too). This movie is way past insane and unexpected. Funny, comical, amusing, entertaining, and crazy are all words I could use to describe the actions that are portrayed in this movie. Just by the little images above, it can honestly be shown that some unnatural shenanigans were going on. I had to save the best for last and it is one of the best funny movies I have seen as well.

All of these films are great and again highly recommended to watch. If anybody needs a good laugh for the time being or needs something to watch, I can always recommend some great movies whether it’s funny horror or just scary. This also brings me to next weeks blog post. Again, I will be doing something new, if that is ok or would you want to stick to just scary horror movies? Let me know, but for next week, I am going to support some of the just comedy movies, nothing scary. I am pretty sure, that they have been seen before, but a good recommendation never turns bad per se. Provide me any feedback or if there is a specific film or genre you want me to suggest movies from please.

The Walking Dead or World War Z?

I want to start off this blog post with a health note. Please be careful at the time. Since the pandemic, I am asking everyone to be wary of your surroundings and the hygiene areas that there are. Many have been hospitalized or in other conditions, sometimes worse. I just want everyone to be cautious and stay alert.

Now there has been posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram about which zombies would people want if there is an Apocalypse. Everybody prefers zombies from the hit TV show, The Walking Dead. Those zombies seemed easier to kill than World War Z zombies. Regardless of if they were easier to kill or not, this was a greater option because of the the World War Z zombies seemed smarter than The Walking Dead. Though both the flick thrillers created controversy about which would be better to fight.

All Zombies are mostly the same. They follow sound and they most likely have to bite to get infected easily. There are quite a few similarities between the movie and show but overall the dead rising is the main focus. The biggest difference is the speed at which both type of zombies operate on getting a meal. World War Z zombies are super fast and it does not help that they are smart and has brain cells still roaming around. Their minds are still at work as they work together to build a pyramid to get over a wall that was put into place to keep them out. These zombies work together to accomplish their goals.

The Walking Dead zombies are just as lethal as World War Z zombies and as aggressive too. If you cannot outrun a TWD zombie than something must be wrong because the only way they can really get you is if you are closed in with them or if someone is injured. Even though there are more zombies than from The Walking Dead and World War Z, these two were the main focus today. Everyone knows how zombies are if you watched any, they are very fascinating as well. There are hundreds of zombie films and shows that are great to watch.

What are your thoughts on the battle of zombies? Who would be your first choice to fight off? Leave comments if you have any questions.

Wrong Turn 1-6

If I had to recommend a great Thriller/Horror/Slasher film to binge watch, Wrong Turn would be at the top of the list. The gore that is shown in these films are kind of like no other but are still scary to watch. From the first Wrong Turn (2003) where 5 innocent people were killed, the movies just go on from there.

I personally like these movies and I hope there are some others that find them interesting as well. The decisions that are being throughout all completed 6 Wrong Turn movies, are regular thoughts that many people would have in the situations that were shown. From Jumping out of a burning watch tower to rather dying in the snow than be killed by the ” Cannibal Freaks”. The mindset that the people have are just instincts that come along when they get stuck in the killer film. Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007)

All of the Wrong Turns, seem to take place at different times and in different places. Though there are 6 completed films, none of the action seemed to have any truth to it what so ever. For the scenes that are shown, it might be raining in a forest, snowing and being stuck in a abandon hospital, hot enough for hiking, or even some nice weather for a holiday festival in general (Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines).

There is a lot that I can say about all the movies because the movies shows an image of cannibalism and what it may look like. Individually these are fun to watch, but by binge watching them all together, they make for a great night of horror. So far, I mentioned the must watched ones because they are really good. That does not take away the horror or thrill from the others. Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, and Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort are all special and recommended films in there own way. I know I say that the first or originals are the best ones that are created, I am definitely sticking to that mindset. There is talk about Wrong Turn 7: Last Hunt being created and all I can do is hope they make one.

Happy Death Day

Happy Birthday everyone who was born in March. I am making this film review because it was surprisingly a good film that really shows humor. This Thriller film really put life into perspective and gave a sense to different ways that life can end instantly and kind of can make you regret life decisions. I have watched this movie multiple times and with the second Happy Death Day 2 came out, the plot gets more interesting.

The college student Tree, short for Theresa ‘Tree” Gelbman, was born on September 18th, the same day as her mother. They do not give us any more information on her age but we can instantly tell that she is in her early life stages since she is in a college university. Jessica Rothe, really played the part for this film and the sequel Happy Death Day 2U that was released in 2019.

Both movies offer a comedic vibe to the stalker like view that is being set in place. Tree, wakes up and keeps living the same day over almost 17 times, until she finally unmasks her killer. Each time she wakes up, she tries a new pattern to find her killer but as she dies and relives the day, the impact of the deaths are catching up with her and she ends up in the hospital when a doctor, sees an X-ray showing that she should have been dead because of the scarring tissue where she got killed before.

This movie was really a plot twist because who killed her was not the suspect at first but should have been a major guess. Tree’s roommate Lori, that really does not like Tree and who was played by Ruby Modine uses a serial killer John Tombs, played by Rob Mello as a scapegoat to her plan to get Tree killed. Imagine reliving your death multiple times because someone wants to be around you when they don’t really like you and has it out for you. It doesn’t stop being painful but it is tedious and time consuming.

Overall the movie was really great and funny to watch, if you constantly die, you make new choices each time and start trying to make it not the worst feeling in the world. As Tree gets back up after dying, she starts changing decisions and starts seeing herself for what she really is. She was mean to most people and a complete B*tch and changed that about herself. I am sure that if that happens to anyone, they would change themselves as well, most for the better and maybe a couple for the worst because it can really start getting to you. I am currently watching Happy Death Day 2U and I can finally see the action in round 2.

Supernatural Recommendation

Supernatural first aired in 2005 with funny moments, heart to hearts, and of course the killings of ghost. The show is action packed and thrilling. Following the Winchester brothers, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles), the show portrays a great story line from the beginning and onward.

Losing their mother (Samantha Smith) at a young age to a demonic force that caused a fire to than losing there dad to the same demon many years later, really took a tole on the 2 brothers. Overall the show is great and really is a must watch series. From the Yellow-Eyed demon, to the Angel Castiel, and to Lucifer the show just keeps moving forward and gets better each season.

As the two boys grow up to be men, they learn from their father (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and follow in his footsteps. The monsters, demons, angels, and even Lucifer himself that Sam and Dean face on the road are scary and interesting but they seem to always overcome those obstacles. The obstacles that they can’t seem to overcome is their personal issues with one another.

Finding out new information about their past, lying to each other, and withholding information from one another is why the obstacles between the boys never stops. Expect the unexpected when watching this show because a lot of things that you do not think are going to happen does. I am not trying to give much of the show away because I do not want to spoil it but if anyone has watched it before, this is a show that you have to actually sit and watch because if you don’t pay attention, you will miss something very important. I am currently Binge watching the series and I am not disappointed.

As a conclusion for the post about Supernatural, the show takes scary dreams, stories and legends and explore them. Besides the demonic forces, there are a lot of great actress and actors that you could instantly take a liking to. For example Bobby Singer (Jim Beavers), he plays a second father figure for the two boys. A character that you will have mixed feelings about is Ruby (played by two different characters). Also, there is a character that will piss you off every time you see them, Bela Talbot (Lauren Cohan). All characters play a special and specific part to the plot and series. This is a highly recommended show. All seasons are available for view on Netflix.

Netflix Horror Recommendations

Netflix has some great original films, some scary and some not, but regardless there are always a good movie that can scare the crap out of you. One that I would continue to recommend everyone to watch is, Veronica. There are more great movies that are on Netflix that can be good for a scary movie night. There are also some TV shows that would be great for binge watching on Halloween.

1: The Autopsy Of Jane Doe (2016)

When a father and son duo, get a corpse (Olwen Kelly) to do an autopsy on, they find themselves getting closer to something they shouldn’t. The whole film is about them working in a morgue and though the movie has predictable scenes, it is still a good film. In the movie, Jane Doe has no information but they autopsy on her regardless. The are multiple warnings that happen as they work on her and the duo never heed the warnings and continue to work until some people die.

2: Hush (2016)

When the movie starts off, it is very quite because Maddie (Katie Siegal) is shown to be deaf. I never really understood what purpose Man (John Gallagher Jr.) had of trying to kill her. The movie was simple but still had some action and plot twist of how you thought it would have ended. I do recommend watching it just to say you watched it because it is a good movie, but it would have been good if they explained what Man reason was of trying to kill her.

3: In The Tall Grass (2019)

If you run out of movies to watch like I did, than In the Tall Grass would be a good option. It does have a familiar scary movie actor from Insidious (Patrick Wilson) who still plays that possession role. This entire movie takes place in the grass that lures people in. Once you are in the grass there is kind of no escape and everything just goes in a loop for more people to get trapped inside.

4: The Silence (2019)

Now there has been a lot of controversy about The Silence and A Quiet Place. For both you are not able to make any loud noises if you want to survive and both families have ran away from home. I believe both are great films but today we are focusing on Netflix, The Silence. This film has a great plot and a really good ending regardless of who died. It was kind of sad how some people died and the plot twists are really amazing. They found out something new about their daughter who is deaf and is almost sacrificed for a cult.

5: Resident Evil Afterlife (2010)

The only Resident Evil that is on Netflix is the Afterlife. These movies are amazing and everyone says the original one is the best one, that is not the case for this film. All Resident Evil’s from the first one to the the Final Chapter are amazing and a must watch film. Zombie movies are a soft spot for me because the way you can kill a zombie is fascinating. Also, Alice (Milla Jovovich) is a great actress as well and super bad ass in all of the 6 films. (All Resident evil’s are my favorite but Resident Evil: Apocalypse is the top one)

6: Final Destination (2000)

There are five Final Destination movies and all are absolutely crazy but action packed. Surviving death is a one time thing in all movies but regardless the end result for the characters is death. The Final Destination series concept is different ways that death uses to kill groups of people who avoided death the first time. I was confused when watching the movies because I did not know if the character that helped everyone escaped death had vision powers but it was explained that death magic created a loop. (Confusing movie but still great and there is four of the films on Netflix)

7: Train to Busan (2016)

Again I am pretty sure every one loves zombies, but in case that you don’t, this movie is a must watch film. Though the movie is in Korean, subtitles are a big help on Netflix even if they do not match the actual words sometimes, we all get context clues. This movie takes place in the train system and with all the running and crowds, the dad and his daughter make sure they keep safe to get to a city with no zombies.

Netflix has some great films that you can watch or add to your list for safe keeping. There are also some great TV shows that you can stream as well like Supernatural or even Stranger Things. I know scary movies and shows are so cool to watch and very interesting. What TV shows or movies do everyone like to watch? Would anyone like to see any other genre besides horror once in a while? Please let me know your thoughts and answers.
