(SPOILERS BELOW FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THAT STUFF)

I thought it was going to be a lot scarier but I found it to be pretty lukewarm — which is most likely because I am a huge horror movie buff and had already watched The Shrine which also features a giant evil sentient statue that is a thousand times more scarier than the Weeping Angels (SPOILER: I mean, they just sent you back in time, which is more tragic than scary. In The Shrine if you saw the statue there was literally no other option except horrible painful death by special priest).

I’m going to watch a couple more episodes with Ten, even though what I personally found the most interesting about the show were all the aliens (time-traveling or otherwise) which they never really go into detail about. It kind of makes me want to just stick to Star Trek:The Next Generation because that show focused a lot more on the aliens  and still had an all powerful time-traveling alien dude in that too, but I will give Doctor Who the benefit of the doubt.

BTW every horror movie buff should go watch The Shrine by the way, it is one of the few really good low budget horror movies I have seen in a while!!

“The Killer” is, as indicated, not a game. It was inspired by the brutal genocide perpetrated in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. In “The Killer” there are two figures, two stick figures, one whose ovoid head is white. This stick figure is the one you control, though, really, you control both, for this white-headed figure is in firm control of the figure in front of it, being as this white-headed figure is the one holding a gun.

At the beginning of “The Killer” these two figures are standing in front of a hut, silently, the only sounds are the sounds of the birds and the insects echoing through the trees and you are instructed to “Hold space to start walking.” When you finally do the white-headed figure pushes the figure before it and only then does the music begin and you, both of you, begin to march.

You march through jungles and you march over beaches. If you stop, you, both of you, are informed that you have not gone far enough, that you must reach the fields, that the fields are beyond the beach. So you push the space bar again and, once again, the whited-headed figure pushes the other with the barrel of its gun. And when you finally reach the fields, and you stop, you are told to aim your gun, and that clicking the left mouse button will fire. And there, in the field, you have a choice to make.

Just finished this and can’t stop crying… ; ((((
