Scream

Like all the other Screams, the 2022 version definitely lives up to the hype with tons of humor

and scary moments to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat. Not to mention, Actors: Neve

Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette returning to their iconic roles in Scream to deliver

another great sequel. That being said, nothing beats the 1996 Scream nor its originality, as I

wouldn’t say Scream 5 was necessarily needed but cool nonetheless.

Rating: 4

My rating for this book is a 4 because the book is pretty good but I don't really like the "horror" part of it.

Summary:

This is about a girl named Barbra Gordan. She was shot and is paralyzed from her hips down. She is admitted into a rehab facility which is pretty suspicious. She can hear voices in the walls and once patients start going missing she starts investigating.

Lock Every Door is an exceptionally written horror/thriller novel. Riley Sager is very well known for writing thriller books, and this might just be one of the best written books by Riley. The storyline of the book is very interesting since it gives you insight on multiple characters’ perspectives. You not only get to feel what all the characters are feeling, but you also get an insight into their lives and how each character is so vastly different than the other.
