Y’all remember when this movie came out???? I’m a geezer with a super sketch memory so it took me awhile to remember the details while I was reading this blast from the past, but when I did????



Yeah . . . .



Turns out the book? Notsamuch. While the premise remains the same - there’s a VHS tape that if watched will wind up with the viewer dead in seven days - there’s really only one dude and his rapey buddy who are trying to get to the bottom of things. Said dude (Asakawa) is a journalist who ends up traveling the countryside in search of the origin of this tape after four teens (one his niece) all die of random heart failure and then he (and rapey pal, his wife and his daughter) all watch it too. The countdown is on. Seven days to solve the mystery or . . . .



This pales in comparison to the sheer terror provided by the film, buuuuuuuut it’s also the first in the series so maybe the chills and thrills ramp up in future volumes. And speaking of chills and thrills, you know this was a recommendation for the . . . .



I already won my major award, but I’m still reading all the things.
