Laura Warren has changed her name and escaped the limelight, leaving behind her former identity as Polly Tremaine, the star of a creepy horror movie with an almost cult-like following. Now a journalist, she's been brought back to L.A. to check out a streaming series based on the movie that has haunted her ever since her childhood. <i>The Guesthouse</i> was notorious for the strange way that the deaths of eight cast & crew members seemed to copy those depicted in the film, and this remake, <i>It Feeds</i>, isn't too far off. Who, or what, is doing this? Will Laura escape its grasp?

A fast-paced, campy thriller where no one can be trusted - not even the main character, eerily referred to as the "Final Girl". I'm usually not much for paranormal horror/thrillers, but this one was grounded enough that I was able to easily follow the storyline without being able to predict every last twist and turn in an unentertaining way. Is it totally over the top? Of course. But it still kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I only put it down because I started it so late yesterday and had to go to sleep.
