Pompeii (2014)

Pompeii is a 2014 film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. It stars Kit Harrington, Emily Browning, Kiefer Sutherland, Carrie-Anne Moss and Jared Harris.
Supposedly a romantic historic costume drama, this film was as much historically inaccurate as can be. After visiting Pompeii ruins, and studying ancient Rome, I found too many mistakes to count in the 2014 film Pompeii as it was just all wrong. The story is a rehash of what's been told many times in Hollywood films before. There is an underline theme of formula of a child who watches his entire people and family slaughtered, then he's captured and forced to fight, (very familiar Conan the Barbarian movie pattern here) and sent to Pompeii as a slave to fight in the arena. There is this Good versus Evil again. The Romans are portrayed as extremely nasty and looking more like Darth Vader types than Romans. The hero of the film falls in love with a pretty daughter of a rich family, and she's also of a feminist 21st Century attitude and even tries to overpower a man in armour.
While I'm being very negative about this, I was impressed by the performance of Sasha Roiz as Marcus Proculus and he came across as a very Roman soldier. I also liked Jessica Lucus playing Ariadne but her character was wasted when she should've been in this more.
The focus was heavy on special effects, chasing, tsunami and flying firebombs. 
I rate this film actually a 2/10.
Question: What happened to all the people and dead bodies when Milos the Celt was chased in the streets by Quintus Attius Corvus in his chariot?

Chinnamasta

Chinnamasta is a Hindu goddess, who represents both death and life. She's one of the ten Mahavidya goddesses, who are aspects of the Great Goddess, or Supreme Being goddess, or the Adi Parashakti. The ten goddesses are Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi and Lakshmi.
Now Chinnamasta is the most strange looking of the goddesses, as she is depicted as red as an hibiscus flower and she has four arms. Shes headless and carries her decapitated head, with fountains of blood gushing from the stump, and female beings drinking that blood. She is said to be a goddess of contradictions, a life giver and a killer, self sacrifice, food giver and of sexuality. She's one of the deities considered important in Tantra.
She cut off her own head to please Jaya and Vijaya, the gate keepers of Vishnu. Chinnamasta carries her own decapitated head, which itself has three bright fiery eyes. She wears skulls like jewellery and rides a vicious lion.
There are many different versions of Chinnamasta. Some say she was part of a triad with Kali and Tara. In a different story, she was bathing and became aroused, then turned black. Her female attendants, or gate keepers, Jaya and Vijaya, were very hungry. Out of pity for them, she allowed them to drink her blood when she chopped her head off.

Is Norse and Celtic pagan art creepy?

Yes. But also NO.
There are many different types of paganism and I follow the Heathen path or it's called Asatru. Art based on the Norse and Germanic heathen gods and goddesses, is gloomy, to reflect the myths. This is because of the dark landscape with severe Winters, dreary weather, little sunlight, and it's always colder in the north. Therefore art which is featuring the stories from the Eddas and other Germanic legends, even Celtic myths, will always look darker. This doesn't mean there isn't colour to the masterpieces. Some paintings bring vivid dreamy pictures of the myths and legends.
As for "creepiness" well yes because it isn't meant to be nice and fluffy.

Sinister game The Purple Dino

A simple puzzle game? Think again. No doubt, there is a disturbing backstory to this one game called The Purple Dino. It's an escape game by Games 4 King. Often their games are straightforward. This one is more than that, and you find yourself wondering why you have to help this monster eat innocent people.
The description at the beginning of the game says: "There was a huge fort in the middle of the forest. The fort was very intimidating to see. There was a purple dinosaur to protect that fort." We see instantly that there is a dinosaur trapped inside a cage. And the rest?
To the right is a courtyard with a tower fort, and stone lions guarding a secret place. To the left is a poverty stricken area full of bugs. After opening secret places, we come to a room in a house that looks suspiciously like a child's prison. The next room belongs to a sorcerer.
We discover a cell room with a small child chained up beside a pit, which must be where the dinosaur comes out for a feed. Fortunately, the dinosaur was captured but you can't even rescue this child as that isn't part of the game.
The theme of The Purple Dinosaur is very dark and shows that its intention to use human sacrifices to a dinosaur that guards a secret fort. Since another hero caged the dinosaur and has been killed (clues ascertain this idea), the evil sorcerer in charge of the town wants you to rescue the dinosaur.

These games are mostly fun and attractive to look at but some of them are a bit too sinister to be considered good fun, like this one. I gave a review here because of the story surrounding the rescue of a monster that eats humans.
