Review of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) by Meydianarizki21 — 31 Oct 2020
Just not good in any way.
'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' exemplifies everything that is wrong with the horror genre. There are some really good horror movies out there going unnoticed, while garbage like this gets a cinematic release. Fake jump-scares, bad looking monsters, slow-moving monsters (didn't we work out they weren't scary 20 years ago) and horrible characters. This was not a fun viewing to sit through.
The concept in this movie is quite deceptive. To the naked eye is might appear clever and creative, but when you actually think about it it is incredibly lazy. A book where whatever is written down actually happens. So basically no limitations and no need to structure your story or create plausible reasons for anything to happen. Genius. No, it's simple and incredibly lazy and anyone with half a brain should see right through it.
How do people fall for these cheap horror movies that have no depth? It's like people have forgotten how good horror can actually be when it is done right. 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' is not a film I would recommend. There are infinitely better watches available out there.
