Review of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) by Thatdanner — 20 Aug 2019
Guillermo Del Toro is truly one of the greatest masterminds when it comes to horrifying imagery. The book has so many terrifying monsters that Del Toro has absolutely done justice for. Not a moment during the movie was I bored until the end, the rest of the movie is tense and surprising to the core.
The performances are very good; the teenagers they got to act are much better than, say, the kids from Stranger Things. The movie takes bold turns, with unexpected twists to shock you at every turn. I found the plot, however, to be very similar to It (Chapter 1).
Also, the final act is unfortunately anticlimactic and predictable, which really makes this movie lose its steam; because otherwise, it was fantastic. I recommend it to any horror fans; I was scared way more than I expected to be.
