feelings come back to the surface.
A little spoiler: the lake might hide a whole submerged and very much cursed city in its depths.
I'll skip the horror one with the cursed twin, but The King's Daughter sounds intriguing, although 2015 to date is a long time in the making..
ReplyDeleteIt is probably an absolute crap which is why it has been delayed for so long :) It's sad, as it has quite a strong cast.
DeleteThe King's Daughter sounds like it has a good cast and some potential, but yes, 5 years in the making does not bode well. Usually means a bad script unable to be saved by editing.
ReplyDeleteAn absolute royal crap most probably.
DeleteGotta agree with Debra on 5 years not boding well. The story line does sound good though and the cast as well, but this is one I'll wait to hear positive reviews from before diving in myself.
ReplyDeleteWe shall judge it after we see a trailer.
DeleteWow for the latter. Sounds seriously creepy. The other interesting.
ReplyDeleteCreepy is the word these days.
DeleteNeither one's my type. 1st one: no one likable (in my opinion). 2nd one: foreign. 😏 Oh well, onto the next one! 🤷♂️
ReplyDeleteGeez Louise, what do you have against foreign programmes, they are most often superior to anything Hollywood makes.
DeleteIt seems scary watching the story of the twins ..
ReplyDeleteVery scary.
