Witchfinder General Movie Review

Witchfinder General is a 1968 horror movie directed by Michael Reeves and starring Vincent Price, Ian Ogilvy and Hilary Dwyer.

The movie begins with a woman being dragged to a gallows. She has been branded a witch and she will be hanged. A man called Matthew Hopkins(Price) is in charge of weeding out the witches all over the country. The country is in the middle of a civil war, so he is taking advantage of the situation. He has a sidekick called John Stearne(Robert Russell) who is a bad guy. They get paid for their services in each county. They torture women and force confessions out of them.

A man called Richard Marshall(Ogilvy) is a soldier and he is going to see his sweetheart, Sara(Dwyer). When he arrives, he talks to her uncle, a priest called John Lowes (Rupert Davies). He gives his permission for Richard to marry his niece. He wants her to get away from the village. Bad things are happening there. They are in trouble and Hopkins is on his way to the the village. Richard reassures Sara that he will protect her. He leaves the village, just as Hopkins and Stearne are arriving.
They decide that Lowes is in league with the Devil and he is taken away and tortured. Sara is horrified by this and she offers herself to Hopkins to save her uncle. Hopkins is interested but he has to leave on business. Hopkins leaves Stearne in charge and he decides to rape Sara. When Hopkins comes back and finds out what happened, he loses interest in Sara and orders the execution of her uncle.

Richard arrives back in the village and he finds out what has happened to his woman. He sends Sara away and he vows revenge on Hopkins and Stearne. He finds Stearne and they fight but he escapes and Richard can't kill him. Stearne goes back to his boss and tells him about Richard. Richard gets a few friends to go and get Hopkins, but his plan is foiled and Richard and Sara get captured and taken away to be interrogated. Sara is tortured and Richard gets angry and breaks free. He gets Stearne and he kills him. He goes to get Hopkins. Richard's soldier friends are coming to help him. He gets an axe and he chops into Hopkins over and over until one of his friends puts a bullet into Hopkins. Richard seems to have lost his mind. Sara screams and she is horrified by what has happened...

This is a very good film. It is entertaining and Price outdoes himself here. I think that he makes the movie better. In essence, the film would not be very good without him. Ogilvy plays his part well also. I liked the story in this one and I enjoyed the ending. The climax is vicious yet satisfying as the two horrible characters get what is coming to them. It is a nasty movie. Price is at his dreadful best here. His character is a morally bankrupt man who likes to see people tortured or killed. His assistant is very nasty also. He certainly looks the part! You don't feel any sympathy for them when they meet their end and even though the two lovers are traumatised, two evil beings have been slain and I liked that. All in all, this is a very enjoyable movie with Price in fine form. I recommend it and I will give it a 7/10.

Lisa and the Devil Movie Review

Lisa and the Devil is a 1974 horror movie directed by Mario Bava and starring Elke Sommer, Telly Savalas and Sylva Koscina.

The movie starts with a group of tourists who are looking at ancient art in Toledo, Spain. One of the group, Lisa(Sommer) wanders into a workshop and finds a man in there called Leandro(Savalas)who is buying a dummy. She is spooked because he looks exactly like the devil in a portrait that she had seen earlier. She goes off by herself and she gets lost. She meets another guy and he argues with her and falls down some steps and supposedly dies. She is confused and lost and she sees a car. She asks for help. The people in the car are a couple and they agree to give her a lift to her hotel. Unfortunately, their car breaks down in front of a house. By coincidence, Leandro works there as a butler. The house is owned by a blind Countess(Alida Valli) and her son Max. He invites Lisa and the couple to stay, even though his mother is not happy about it.

They are allowed to stay in cottages. Lisa is told that she is actually a woman called Elena, who was Max's girlfriend and who was chased away by the Countess. Lisa has weird visions of herself kissing the man who she met earlier and who fell down the steps. He is actually Carlos, the husband of the Countess. People start to die around the place, including the couple who gave her a lift. Carlos is dead too. Lisa wants to leave but she can't. Max takes her to a room and he shows her the body of his dead girlfriend. She is some sort of a ghost. Max tries to rape Lisa, but he can't. He decides to kill his mother as she won't get out of his way.

He looks for Leandro. All of the dead bodies are seated at the table. Max is horrified and he stumbles and falls out of the window. He gets impaled on a spike. Leandro is the one who set up the corpses.
Lisa wakes up the next day and she finds that the house is in ruins. She wanders around and she discovers a group of children. They think that she is a ghost. She walks back to the square where she met Leandro. She s going to go home. She boards her plane but there is nobody else on it. There are just dead bodies. Leandro is flying the plane and he is taking her with him. She turns into a dummy and that's it.

This film was odd. It doesn't make a lot of sense in some parts. The story seemed a bit all over the place at times. I did like it, though, despite this. I liked the cast and the unusual feel of this one. The ending was a bit weird for me, but I can look past that. You can draw your own conclusions from it, I think. It is one to see if you are a Bava fan. I will give it a 6/10.

The Walking Dead, Season 8, Episode 11

This episode begins with Daryl, Rosita, Tara and Dwight who are in the forest. Tara isn't happy about having Dwight with them. She thinks that they should kill him. The others find out that the doctor and Gabriel escaped from Negan's grasp and they figure that they are on their way back to Hilltop. The two men are indeed on their way but Gabriel is not well. There is something wrong with his sight. He is not a well man and the doctor, Carson, is worried about him. He thinks that Gabriel might be going blind. Carol and Morgan clash as Henry wants to know who killed his brother. Carol doesn't want him to kill anyone else. Morgan thinks that she should tell Henry. She tells Morgan to stand down.

Maggie is worried about food rations at the Hilltop. She talks to Gregory who suggests that he should be allowed out for a while every day. She refuses his request and she informs the others that they will not be getting any rations now. Negan and Eugene have a chat and Negan puts him in charge of making ammo. Carson and Gabriel find a house and they stay there. They also discover antibiotics which Gabriel takes to help with his infection. They end up being caught by the Saviors and Carson gets shot dead. Gabriel is brought back to the Sanctuary. He doesn't give Eugene away though.

Daryl and the others have to make their way through a walker infested swamp to get home. Tara ends up losing Dwight, who saves her from being caught by some Saviors who pass by. He pretends that he was caught up in an ambush and he survived it. He says that he didn't see anyone and takes the group away from where Daryl and the others are. Daryl and the others make their way back to the Hilltop and they tell Maggie and the others about Carl and everyone is upset. Maggie relents and she agrees to let the Saviour prisoners out for a few hours a day to work and get exercise.

The episode ends with Eugene suggesting that instead of bullets, Negan should use walker guts to infect the enemy. Negan is intrigued by this and he tells his minions to coat their weapons in the guts so that they can spread the infection to Rick and his group. He starts by covering Lucille with the walker innards and showing it to his followers. This was a slightly dull episode. There wasn't a lot happening. I think it is just setting up the final fight.

Amanda's Horror Years- 2008

So, 2008 was a pretty good year for horror movies. There were a few highlights and some films that I would rather forget! I will begin with the best ones. I realise that I will have missed some, but these are films that I have seen so if there are any that have been omitted, let me know!

The Strangers is the first film that I think was very good. I liked the premise and it was creepy in parts.There was a feeling of dread and isolation throughout and it works well, I think. I liked the cast and the ending was pretty decent. Another movie that I enjoyed was Cloverfield. I am not sure if this would be classed as horror or sci-fi, but I am including it here. I liked it a lot. It was fun. Next up is Splinter. I really liked that film. Midnight Meat Train stars Vinnie Jones and Bradley Cooper and it is based on a story by Clive Barker and I thought that it was interesting. I liked parts of the film and it was a highlight from this year. Martyrs was released in 2008 and this film can be difficult to watch in parts, but overall, I enjoyed it. It is not a feel good film though and be warned the ending is quite bleak! If you enjoyed the Spanish horror movie, REC, then the American remake, Quarantine, might interest you. This was another good movie from this year. I liked the original REC and I found the remake very entertaining. Pontypool was a very enjoyable film and there is not much to it at all but it really works. I liked it a lot and I highly recommend this one.

Now, onto the rest. I enjoyed some of these and some of them were just brutal and not in a good way!
Some middle of the road horrors are Swamp Devil, Backwoods, Eden Lake( I hated the ending), Let the Right One In, Long Weekend(remake), Midnight Movie and Train. Some of the worse ones are Mirrors(boring), Stag Night(average), Shutter, Seventh Moon(awful movie), Red Canyon, Prom Night remake(horrible), Pig Hunt, One Missed Call, Amusement, Babysitter Wanted, Dark Reel, The Happening(no explanation needed!), Lake Mungo. Now, I know some people might enjoy them, but I found a few of them boring and not good.

There were a few sequels in this year. The best of those was Saw 5. The worst was Return to Sleepaway Camp.That film was awful. Really awful. No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker was okay.
The rest are Anaconda 3, Boogeyman 3, Feast 2, Lost Boys: The Tribe and Rest Stop:Don't Look Back. Nothing amazing there. So, that is my round up of the best and worst of 2008. All in all, this was a decent year for horror. There are some good titles there and lots to choose from if you need something to watch! As always, let me know your thoughts on this year!!!

Homecoming Movie Review

Homecoming is a horror movie starring Mischa Barton of The OC fame. It is directed by Morgan J Freeman(not the well known actor!).

This movie begins with a guy called Mike (Matt Long) returning to his hometown of Mt.Bliss for some special occasion. He was the star quarterback in high school and he was popular. He also used to date Shelby(Barton) but they broke up. Mike brings his new girlfriend, Elizabeth(Jessica Stroup)with him. She is pretty and wealthy.

Elizabeth and Mike bump into Shelby and they chat. What Mike doesn't realise is that Shelby has never gotten over him. Shelby talks with Elizabeth who is nervous about meeting Mike's parents and she tells her that they are judgmental. She gets her drunk and then Elizabeth has to stay at a motel as she does not want to meet Mike's parents drunk. She goes to the motel but there are no rooms so she decides to walk along a lonely road. She gets hit by a car and the driver is Shelby! It is an accident. Instead of taking her to the hospital, Shelby takes her home to her house and puts her in one of the rooms.

Shelby continues to keep Elizabeth in the house and she tells her that she is looking after her etc, but after a while, it becomes obvious that Shelby is determined to get Mike back and she will do whatever she has to. She traps Elizabeth in the house and Elizabeth has to try and escape to get to Mike. Meanwhile, Shelby is acting as normal and she convinces Mike that Elizabeth has left him and gone back home. Mike begins to wonder if she has. Elizabeth almost escapes, but Shelby catches her and puts her in the basement. Elizabeth puts a note in Mike's jacket which Shelby is going to give to him and he sees it and realises that Shelby has her. He goes over to get her back and he is confronted by Shelby. They fight and Mike rescues Elizabeth but Shelby isn't down yet. She fights to the end and then they kill her, or do they????

This movie is okay if there is nothing on TV but it isn't anything special. I would only recommend it if you are a fan of Mischa Barton.... I will give this a 4/10.

The Premonition Movie Review

The Premonition is a 1976 thriller/horror movie directed by Robert Allen Schnitzer and starring Richard Lynch, Sharon Farrell and Edward Bell.

The movie begins with a man called Jude(Lynch) showing pictures of a child to a woman who is called Andrea(Ellen Barber). The woman goes to see the child, Janie, at school. She gets seen by the child's foster mother, Sheri(Farrell) who is not happy. Janie's foster dad is Miles (Bell) who is a professor and is working with a woman called Jeena Kingsley who specialises in parapsychology.
 Sheri tells her husband about the woman who was at the school. Sheri starts to have visions about Jude and Andrea. Meanwhile, her husband goes off on some sort of a date with his colleague, Dr. Kingsley. The same night, Andrea goes to Janie's room. She gets disturbed by Sheri and she runs off with the child's doll but not before telling her that Janie is hers. Sheri calls the police and then Miles comes home to discover what has happened.

Jude is angry with Andrea. She has really lost the plot. He thought that they were going to get Janie and live together but she has gone mad. He runs after her with a knife. Miles tells the cops that Andrea is Janie's real mother and that she was trying to get her daughter from them. She was a bad mother and she got put into a mental institution. Sheri thinks that Andrea has put a hex on them. Sheri has another vision. This time it is of Andrea, who is covered in blood. She tells Miles about it. Miles tells his colleague. He wants Sheri to meet Dr. Kingsley and talk about the visions. Sheri crashes her car and when she wakes up, Janie is missing.

Janie has wandered off alone. She sees a carnival where the weird Jude is a clown. He happens to be drinking and walking around when he hears Janie crying. He takes her back to his van. Sheri remembers the house where Jude and Andrea were staying and she brings Miles there. They find Janie's doll there and call the cops. The cops find Andrea dead. Dr. Kingsley talks to Sheri and she wants her to try and envision where her daughter is. Sheri tries and feels that Janie is alive. Jude kills a carnival worker as she was going to call the cops and tell them he has Janie. Dr Kingsley thinks that they should have a concert for Andrea. It might help Sheri find her daughter. Sheri plays music that Andrea wrote. Jude is on the run with Janie.

The woman Jude killed sent a picture of Jude to Sheri's house. The cops see it and start sniffing around the carnival. They find out that Jude is on the run with Janie. Miles sees him in his van. He runs over and gets inside. They have a big fight. The cops come in time and arrest him. Janie runs out and finds her mother. This is an odd film. It isn't really a horror movie, even though there are some horror elements in it. I would class this as a thriller. There aren't really any scary scenes. It is a decent movie and Richard Lynch is creepy as the psychopathic clown. I think that it is a strange film with some drama elements as well as thriller and horror. It is a mixed bag, but don't let that put you off. It is a good watch and I enjoyed it. I would have liked more in the way of scares, but I will still give this one a 6/10.

Wolf Creek, Season 2 Finale.

So, the finale is here. This season has been short, but oh so good. The last episode saw Mick with Oscar and Nena following Brian and Rebecca as they go to find Danny and anyone else who Mick has taken at Mick's lair. Brian and Rebecca are still driving along. Mick gets a flat tyre and he has to fix it. Nena grabs Mick's knife from her husband's neck. Mick has killed Oscar already and she is going to kill him. Except, she can't. Mick is too clever for her. He grabs his knife from her and hits her. Brian and Rebecca come to Mick's place. They look around for Danny. They discover an underground tunnel. They go into it. Rebecca wanders around and she finds dead bodies hanging up.
Clearly, this is Mick's playground.

Brian is looking for gas for the truck. He wants to get out of there. Mick arrives back. Brian hides.
Mick carries Nena into his place. He dumps her into his tunnel. Mick can hear Rebecca as she has disturbed his dog. Brian has to go into the tunnels too. Rebecca steps onto spikes that have been put in the ground and impales her foot. Mick sets his dog after her. Brian is going to leave Nena there as he gets his gas. Rebecca finds Danny, who has been tortured. Kelly is there too. She releases them. Mick catches Brian, who is going. Brian tells him he will leave and say nothing to anybody. Mick believes him. Brian heads off.

Rebecca tells Kelly to go. She and Danny stumble through the tunnels. Danny is in a bad way and you know that this won't end well. Brian realises he has no keys to the truck and he has to go back down and get them. He kills Nena when she won't give them up. Mick comes back and finds out what Brian has done. Brian tries to tell Mick that they are the same. He isn't a psychiatrist, but he is an inmate of a psychiatric hospital. He has killed and he is crazy. He thinks that he and Mick understand each other, but he annoys Mick, who shoots him dead. Mick traps Rebecca and Danny in a cage with the gas. He tells her that he will keep her alive for a long time. She and Danny agree that they need to die. They agree to blow up the gas and hopefully kill Mick too. They blow up his tunnels. Kelly escapes. She grabs her phone too. She wanders around the outback and meets Mick, who tells her that she will die as there is no town for hundreds of miles. He leaves her to die. The episode ends with Mick watching the news about the disappearance of the tourists. Post credit scene has Kelly on the ground. She is on her last legs when her phone rings. She goes to answer it.

What a fantastic finale! I loved it. It was full of action and we got to see inside Mick's lair. It was brilliant and I really enjoyed it. It is interesting how the ending is left open now. Mich made an error in not killing Kelly. Will she survive and get rescued? Will she tell people what happened? Will people come after Mick? There are so many possibilities. I really hope that there will be another season of this. I know that there will be a third movie, so I am hoping that there will also be a third season. I will watch it!! All in all, a great second season which was more than I could have hoped for.

Eyes of A Stranger Movie Review

Eyes of a Stranger is a 1981 horror/thriller directed by Ken Wiederhorn and starring Lauren Tewes, John DiSanti and Jennifer Jason Leigh in her acting debut.

The movie begins with a body which is found. There has been three murders recently in Miami. A woman is being followed home by some weirdo. He calls her on the phone. She calls the police to tell them about it. She goes home but the killer is at her place. Her boyfriend calls over and the killer murders him. Cut to a reporter called Jane(Tewes) who lives with her deaf, mute and blind sister Tracy(Leigh). She has a boyfriend called David(Peter DuPre). Jane recalls when she was younger and how she was with Tracy but she left her alone. Tracy got picked up by a man.

Jane sees a car in the lot and she asks the security man who owns it. He tells her it is a man who lives in the apartment across the street. The killer strikes again. Jane begins to think that the killer is a man called Stanley Herbert(DiSanti). The killer continues his spree. Jane continues to think about what happened to her sister. The doctors couldn't figure out why she was blind, deaf and mute. Jane becomes convinced that Herbert is the killer. She gets the key to his apartment and she enters. She looks around but he comes back unexpectedly. She escapes with his shoe. She gives the shoe to David, who is a lawyer. He thinks that she is crazy.

Jane gets herself a gun and she decides to call Herbert and tell him that she knows he is the killer. She keeps calling him. He tells her that he is confused. He recognises her voice from TV and he knows who she is. He decides to go after her sister. He goes to Jane's place and he sees Tracy. He messes with her at first. She realises that he is there and she throws coffee at him and runs. Jane is is in his apartment. She can see her place from across the street and she spots him in there. Tracy finds that her sight is returning. She finds the gun and she shoots at Herbert. She thinks that he is dead so she lets her guard down. He gets back up and attacks her again. Janet comes home and she manages to shoot Herbert in the head. Tracy regains her speech.

This was an interesting movie. It has elements of horror and thriller. The special effects were by Tom Savini but some of the gorier scenes were cut from the version I saw so it was a disappointment there. I enjoyed the story,though and I thought that it was a good movie throughout. I did think that the side story about the sister being abducted when she was young could have been left out. but I suppose it added to the ending of the movie. It was fun to see Jennifer Jason Leigh in her first role. She didn't do much, but I didn't dislike her character. Overall, this is an entertaining film which is worth a look. I will give it a 6/10.

Wolf Creek, Season 2, Episode 5

So, everything is getting really exciting as we near the end of this great season. The group saw lights up ahead and they figured it was an old mine. Kelly has been captured by Mick.

The mine setting was creepy and Mick took no prisoners as he murdered the family. The finale is next!!!Already!!

Wrong Turn Movie Review

Wrong Turn is a 2003 horror movie directed by Rob Schmidt and starring Desmond Harrington and Eliza Dushku.

The movie begins in West Virginia. A man called Chris Flynn(Harrington) is driving along a road. He needs to get to a meeting. He asks for directions at a gas station and some old guy tells him to take a back road. He ends up crashing into a jeep with five passengers. He meets them. They are Jessie(Dushku),Carly, Francine, Evan and Scott(Jeremy Sisto). The group see that there was barbed wire in the road and that caused the crash. Jessie's tyres were punctured by someone. There is something weird going on. Evan and Francine stay with the cars while the rest of them go and look for help. Unfortunately, Evan and Francine meet a nasty end.

The rest of the group find a shack and they look around. They see human body parts. They are going to leave with a family of freaks come back to their horror shack. There are three- Three Finger, Saw Tooth and the charming One Eye. The group has to wait until they get a chance to escape but they get spotted by one of the freaks and they run off into the woods. Saw Tooth chases them and kills Scott and shoots Chris in the leg. Chris manages to escape. There are just three left alive- Chris, Jessie and Carly. They spot a watchtower in the woods and hope that there will be a radio there. They use it to call for help, but get no reply. The freaks find out where they are and proceed to burn it down. The three have to get out. Carly gets caught and dies.

Jessie and Chris have to try and get away from the hillbillies, but they know the area and they are on their trail. The local Sheriff turns up but he is quickly dispatched by the freaks. Jessie gets caught and brought to the shack. Chris rescues her and burns down the freak shack. He thinks that they are all dead and he and Jessie take one of the hillbilly cars and drive away. There is a post credit scene with a deputy Sheriff looking through the burnt remains of the shack. Of course, one of the freaks comes back and attacks him so we know that they will be back!!

This is entertaining and fun. The old hillbilly vs city slicker thing has been done to death but it is still worth watching. This is an enjoyable horror movie which will not amaze you, but will pass ninety minutes quite nicely. The cast do a pretty good job in this and there are some decent scenes. So, all in all, this is a standard horror movie with nothing really original, but it is fun and very watchable so I will recommend it to slasher fans. I will give it a 6/10.

Puppet Master :Axis of Evil Movie Review

Puppet Master: Axis of Evil is a 2010 horror movie and the ninth entry in the Puppet Master series.
It is directed by David DeCoteau, who also directed the third movie. It stars Levi Fehler, Jenna Gallaher and Tom Sandoval.

The movie begins in 1939. A young man called Danny(Fehler) is a carpenter. He lives in the Bodega Bay Inn with his uncle Len. There is a war coming. There is a flashback to Toulon and how he died. Danny heard the shot that killed Toulon and he sees the Gestapo men leaving. They see his face. He runs in and finds Toulon dead. He finds the puppets. Danny takes the puppets. He wants to fight in the war but he has a limp and they won't let him. Danny talks about Toulon to his brother, Don, who is going to go fight in the war soon. Danny tells Don that the puppets are special and that Toulon told him all about them.

Two Nazis, Klaus and Max are going to meet a Japanese woman called Ozu. She is going to work with them to destroy an American plant that makes bombs for the war. They think that by doing this, they will hamper America's part in the war. Max is to cosy up to a girl called Beth(Gallaher), who works at the plant and get inside. Beth just happens to be Danny's girlfriend. Danny comes to see her at work and bumps into Max. He recognises his face from the Toulon situation and he knows that he is a Nazi. She thinks that he is just jealous and dismisses it. Danny follows Max to his meeting place with Ozu. He sees them plotting. The puppets are also watching. Ozu has a bomb to blow up the plant. They are going to do it in two days. Danny leaves, but is spotted by Max.

Danny and the puppets agree to stop Max. Danny tells Beth about the meeting, but again, she doesn't believe him. He shows her the puppets and she starts to believe his story.  While Danny is out investigating Max, men come in to his mother's house and shoot her dead. They shoot his brother, Don too. He is not going to make it. Danny comes home to find this and he uses the formula to put his brother's soul into a puppet called Ninja, that Toulon had been making when he died. Beth has been taken by Max and he is holding her. The puppets help too. Ninja kills Max before he is mortally wounded and the other puppets mop up the rest of the baddies. Unfortunately, Ozu escapes with Tunneler. Danny swears that he will get her.

This was a fun entry in the series. I like the setting of World War Two and the story is decent. The addition on the Nazis and a Japanese baddie is also fun. I was a little disappointed with the last part with the demonic toys. It wasn't great. This was much better. I enjoyed the three Axis movies and I will review the others soon. So, this film is one of the better Puppet Master movies. I liked the story and I enjoyed the puppets, as always. Ninja was a newcomer and, even though he didn't last long, he was fun to watch. I found this enjoyable so I will give it a 6/10.

The Walking Dead, Season 8, Episode 10

Last time, we said goodbye to Carl. This episode begins with Rick and Michonne, who are mouring their loss. Michonne sees walkers coming into Alexandria. There is a hole in the wall. The place is being wrecked by the walkers and Rick and Michonne have to leave. They look around and remember Carl as they go. Michonne looks through the letters and she finds one for Negan which makes them both think. They are going to visit Jadis and try and get her to help them. They drive in there but there is a booby trap and they end up stuck.

Cut to Negan and Simon. They chat about what happened in Alexandria. Negan wants Simon to go to the Scavengers and frighten them by killing one or two. Simon wants to wipe them out, but Negan tells him no. Simon goes off to the junkyard and finds Jadis and her Scavengers. He talks to her about their deal that they had. Simon demands that they surrender their weapons and they have to do it.
Simon demands an apology from her for siding with Rick and she does give him one. Simon goes mad and he orders his men to shoot all of the Scavengers, except for Jadis. She escapes. He goes back to Negan and tell him that everything is fine, but he doesn't tell him about the slaughter. Negan is satisfied as he hears that Rick is calling on the walkie talkie.

Rick and Michonne find Jadis wandering around and looking lost. She shows them the way out. She offers to join them, but Rick tells her no. He forces her to go at gunpoint. She is being chased by walkers. She uses a machine to destroy more walkers and then she sits in the junkyard alone. Rick and Michonne get out and Rick calls Negan on the walkie talkie. He reads the letter Carl left to Negan. It contains a plea for peace. Rick doesn't believe that this will happen. Negan is upset to hear of Carl's death. Negan blames Rick for Carl's death and tells him that he needs to stop fighting. He tells Rick that he is a failure as a father and a leader and he urges him to surrender before more of his people get killed.

This episode was interesting. I was surprised when the Scavengers were wiped out. Simon is going against Negan and that spells trouble. It was interesting to see Jadis as a real person and not just the odd leader she was. Seeing that Negan was genuinely upset over Carl's death was a good scene but he doesn't really strike me as the emotional type!
