When Light Turner (Nat Wolff) comes in possession of the Death Note, Ryuk (Willem Dafoe) entices him to use it to kill those that deserve it. Enjoying the power that it brings, Light soon finds himself the focus of the enigmatic detective L (Lakeith Stanfield) who is obsessed with tracking him down.
One thing I did when watching this version of Death Note was to try to put the anime version to the back of my mind, as that is my favourite version. This does prove hard as it sets up a good perspective of who Light should be, who Ryuk is, and of course how awesome L is.

The Scarehouse is a solid contained horror film mixed with found footage when away from the main location. Production values are good and performances are commendable when it comes to the “why are you doing this to me?” scenes. Most impressive of all is Jennifer Miller (as sorority sister – Lisa Jenning). She can certainly throw a punch or two and proves to be an ongoing thorn in the side of our anti-heroes Corey and Elaina.
The movie opens up with handheld footage of a group of loud-mouthed, college sorority sisters dressed in their underwear getting ready for a night of initiation with their two newbies. None of these people prove themselves to be likeable.
