Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a disgustingly good gateway horror movie
2069d ago
A fun, surprising, and sometimes legitimately scary take on PG-13 horror.
2069d ago
Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark could scare kids as much as the books scared their parents
2069d ago
You don’t have to be a fan of the popular (and often banned) books to have fun with writer-producer Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation
2069d ago
The movie’s good even when it goes in too many directions at once, because it gets the kids right.
2069d ago
The film also engages with the country’s political history and racism, but only to varying degrees of success.
2069d ago
Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark is gateway horror that treats intended audiences to many a scream, pulling no punches nor watering down nightmarish conjurings that remind how healthy fearful emotions can be at any age.
2069d ago
It’s a smart horror film about the stories we tell ourselves and why they frighten and compel us
2069d ago
Once it gets past what feels like submission to genre demands, the drama reaffirms its focus on the central themes.
2069d ago
Hallowe’en, 1968. When a group of teens, including horror nerd Stella (Colletti) and draft-dodger Ramón (Garza), break into a haunted house, they discover an ancient book of creepy stories written by local legend Sarah Bellows. But the book is cursed, which makes her stories – and monstrous creations – come alive…
2069d ago
Adaptation of popular 1980s kids-lit anthologies is a little hodgepodge — but it’s also training-wheels horror done right
2069d ago
Guillermo del Toro is one of the gurus of gore contributing to this sometimes icky YA-leaning horror compendium
2069d ago
Adapted from Alvin Schwartz’s popular series, the film is set in 1968 with the ghosts of Vietnam haunting the periphery.
2069d ago
Although he did not direct, del Toro’s influence is front and center, particularly in the patently unnecessary references to the current real world’s fraught racial issues.
2069d ago
Guillermo del Toro came up with the screen story for this lackluster adaptation of Alvin Schwartz's popular children's horror books.
2069d ago
How did they turn the fabled '80s horror-story collection into a movie? By recreating its greatest hits, minus the creepiness that made them great.
