Last night I went to see The Awakening with a couple of friends and I think it’s reignited my love of horror. I loved scary films when I was younger but after lots of disappointing endings I find that I prefer thrillers or dystopian films to farfetched horrors… I blame The Unborn and it’s stupid ending! Anyway, The Awakening is set in post WW1 Britain and follows Florence, a well educated young lady and supernatural sceptic who sets out to expose spiritualist fraudsters. Carefully constructed and beautifully shot, this is a chilling and ambiguous ghost story. With her elegant but practical wardrobe filled with her beautifully crafted engraved silver cigarette case to her plain brogues, clean cut shirts and long masculine coats, I couldn’t help falling in love with the style of the chic protagonist Florence (played by Rebecca Hall).
I really want to see this, I can't take horrors seriously so I prefer these sorts of film too x
She looks beautiful. I really want to see The Awakening. I'm glad you are enjoying your internship, I like Philosophy but my boyfriend is taking a degree in it soI will recommend the book to him :).

Have you seen "Cracks?" A lot of people didn't like it, but I fell in love! It's set during WWII at a prestigious boarding school for girls on an island near England. Eva Green is one of the main characters. I think you would enjoy it!
