30 Day Movie Challenge Day 22: Most Underrated Movie: The Cottage 
Before we start heres a little summary taken from amazon

Synopsis

Two bickering brothers--David (Andy Sirkis, KING KONG) and Peter (Reece Shearsmith, THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMAN)--come up with an ingenious plan to get rich quick by conspiring to kidnap the daughter of a local mob boss, Arnie. With the help of Arnie's son Andrew (Steve O'Donnell, A KNIGHT'S TALE), the brothers arrive at a deserted country cottage and everything seems to be in place but there are two things they haven't counted on; Tracey (Jennifer Ellison, BROOKSIDE)--their newfound hostage--is determined to put up a fight and their new neighbour turns out to be less than friendly.
Paul Andrew Williams' second feature film is significantly different in tone to that of his remarkable, uncompromising debut, LONDON TO BRIGHTON. THE COTTAGE is a highly entertaining horror comedy that has much more in common with the likes of SEVERANCE than his first film. Seasoned comedy performers such as Reece Shearsmith and Steve O'Donnell help to make the humorous sections of the film work well, while Williams directs the gory horror elements with great skill and panache.

Why on eath have a picked this cheap british horror film as my most underrated film. I could have picked any movie from my collection because I own mnay movies that are seemingly underrated.
I picked The Cottage because its brilliantly unnerving. While it's highly comical in a lot of places for example our young kidnap-victim-from-hell's head still talking after its been cut from her body, it still has a certain scare factor and the idea that not one of our anti-heroes escapes is them getting their just deserts, but also a rather chilling end depicting that the killers are still alive and well out there.


30 Day Book Challenge: Day 22: Favourite Vampire Book: Interview With A Vampire.
 I've reviewed the film but the book is a little different to the film, it's compleatley from Louis point of view but oddly enough it never gets boring, it's rather wonderfull watching him bloossom into his new found life and the way in which he reacts to Lestat.
I don't think there is to much need to give a synopsis as most peple know all about this book, also most people with at least seen the film. this book is brilliant and beautifully done, Louis because he is talking to a reporter describes everything around him, something that can sometimes go amiss in certain 1st p[rson style books.

I reccomend this to any Vamp lover, and for all you twi-hards read this book because then you will truly understand what makes a brilliant vampire novel.
