7/10
Actually, One of the Better Horror Movies in 2022! ;D
22 June 2022
Loved all the Retro 70's and found this a fun and scary watch!! I was the same age as these kids in 78 and remember dissecting a poor frog in 7th grade science. Everything about this movie transported me back to my youth! Loved the pinball machines, music, and the fact that the worst you had to worry about happening to you at school was an encounter with a bully!!! (Not like todays REAL life and totally Unacceptable Horror for kids in school!)

The characters were mostly likable, sympathetic and relatable. With of course the exception of Ethan Hawkes well done Monster and a few bully's and a Dad.

This was suspenseful and Not a Gore-fest! And the Not knowing and Not seeing EVERy AWFUL thing made it surprisingly better.

They really captured the vibe of what it was like to be a young teen in the 70's. And the Nightmare of a Boogie Man on the loose! I say Watch IT!!
