This month was a chill month for all three of my favourite activities but what I did read and watch especially on the TV side was really good. In terms of books We Have Always Lived In The Castle was my favourite as it really made me think about what Shirley Jackson was trying to say about society and our perception of people. For films my favourite would be Goodnight Mommy as it just completely freaked me out and it is a film about breaking trust and knowing when something is real and not and how fine that line is. The boys in this film were incredible at acting and I hope they get a lot more films after this. Lastly for TV shows it has to be Chucky as the favourite and both seasons were equally amazing. They developed different characters arc’s and constantly gave us more of the history of Chucky. Hands now my favourite thing of month, so definitely check out Chucky on SYFY which is part of Sky/ Now.
