Apr 27, 2019 This movie has some pretty awesome nostalgia and it's not too predictable. I think if you like Stranger Things, this is worth a watch. See more

Han W Mar 16, 2019 I really enjoyed this 80's thriller. The teen characters were really engaging and it had just the right amount of suspense.

Poe W Mar 11, 2019 Well it's got guts I'll give it that. When a nostalgiafest features kids in danger you rarely believe there'll be consequences or anything too icky. So you have to respect a film willing to go there. But I guess the issue I have is that I don't think nostalgic innocence mixes well with the type of horror they go for here. Because the genre changes about 2/3 of the way through to a gritty, murderous horror film. The whole point of these kinds of nostalgia films is to hang on the importance of childhood relationships. I can't think of any comparable films where the friendships don't last. It'd be different if the film was engaging with and deconstructing tropes, but I don't think it even noticed. As a result, it started to feel odder and odder. Like a different movie almost. On less grand issues, the serial killer was not a very impressive actor. When his mask is uncovered it should be terrifying. But it's just bland. And the girl next door he has a (semirequited) crush on is just too much. She never felt real for an instant. More like a 15-year-old boy's wet dream. See more

Luke S Mar 3, 2019 There's so many things bad about this movie it brings down the few good things about it.

Anakin L Feb 7, 2019 Plot holes galor, at a certain point the believability factor goes right out the window and let me tell yah folks, thatï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s early on. Which makes the ï¿ 1/2 1/2suspenseful dialogue,ï¿ 1/2 1/2ï¿ 1/2Â? thoughtless, silly and futile. The jump scares arenï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t that great, I wasnï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t a fan of the soundtrack, Nothing excited me, scared me, however I did laugh at the irony of everything. Iï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)m sad to see the movie has a 69% at the time I write this, that number doesnï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t deserve this. I could write a plot summary in the amount of words I used hear easily.

Anakin W Feb 1, 2019 Stranger Things meets The Burbs meets Disturbia. It's good 80s nostalgic fun. I preferred the first ending to the second (and when you see it you'll know what I mean). See more
