This movie gives a new perspective of X-Men's "Young Mutants" finding out their powers, but in a more trauma, horror way. Usually when mutants is involve Xavier from the X-Men helps out with a hand, while The New Mutants turns to a different road and approach new ways introducing a horror like film.

How does The New Mutants bring horror vibes? Without spoiling it, graphically to certain people it can be a horror, but it's more of a psychologic horror in my opinion.

The story is different from the X-Men franchise, but it introduces new characters and it's a nice change from the X-Men. Well thought out with a balancing storyline, alluring with exciting moments, sometimes jumpy, enjoyable and a strong character build.

The New Mutants released date kept changing, as someone who waited for this to be released, I'm happy how it turned out in the end. I even have my own favorite character who is played by Maisie Williams, also hoping more movies, or even a T.V series with the same actors and actresses.

My first time watching this was at a young age, 9. While ending up having a young crush of "Sigourney Weaver", an amazing actress with a beautiful title of "Sci-Fi Queen" and still looks beautiful at the age of 70.

This Horror classic is beautifully well done, very amazing details despite it being a 1979 film, still amazes me how well this movie was done. It starts off with a crew in space, with each individual strong characters showing the relationship strengths from the beginning. Plus a female leading character in a horror, sci-fi movie, wasn't done a lot back then. Ridley Scott did an amazing job directing, while choosing the actors and actresses perfectly.

Story outline is very strong, while seems like a simple story "Outer space signal response crew encountering an alien" but it's more than just that. You're constantly smiling how close the crew is, laughing some parts, curious about the humanoid, but then having a feeling something more is going on. The whole movie is just beautiful, between the hype, loving the characters (cough, falling for the gorgeous Ripley), and the details of the alien is fantastic, sounds are original, creepy, especially you're outer space.

Outer space is quiet, far from planet earth if anything happens, you're on your own, so the story itself isn't just amazing, the thought of being out there alone is frightening, which brings me to the eerie sounds. Perfectly creepy I must say, offsetting, makes you just fall into a hole sometimes, basically giving you an emotion that they're alone.

Story- 10/10 (Best horror classic, best female leading horror, interesting, very unique designs, very detail, original)

Characters- 10/10 (Everyone is very good at acting, each individual is lovable, strong character bonds, very depth characteristics)

Tone/Music/Atmosphere- 10/10 (Creepy, balanced, good timing, lures you in the situation, eerie)

This is my all time favorite movie, it's beautiful, the best classic, and amazing actors/actresses with an amazing directer Ridley Scott

During my need in searching a horror series, Iv'e came across Crypt T.V which is backed up by Blumhouse Productions, Jason Blum. This already gives you excitement. That's when I came across the "The Birch" a 2016 short story.

This is a remake, connected to the 2016 "The Birch". About a creature who acts like a mother figure, protecting those in need of help, while giving them a form of love, as a mother would do so to there sons and daughters. It has a "Blair Witch" vibe, but a more in depth story, while having a "Stephan King" vibe too.

The Birch is a unique story, as a teen "Evie" grieving, comes upon a ritual like "Blair Witch" symbol. She began to do research, while threatened by others and not a very popular teen in school, more like a closed in girl being bullied. I must say, she gives me an "Eleven, Stranger Things" character vibe, which says a lot about the character and acting strength of "Xaria Dotson". The same with others, but the directing of the show is also well done, being balanced, originality, interesting, strong moments and during this, they slowly give you the back story, origin of the creature "The Birch". Creative, well designed, a mother nature twist of horror.

Story- 10/10 (Originality to it's bone, well balanced, more importantly "UNIQUE" and interesting)

Origin Story- 10/10 (A strong Back bone, it's original, easily understandable, very interesting)

Characters- 10/10 (The actors and actresses I find does a very good job, depth is amazing, personality's are shown, it's strong)

Tone/Music/Atmosphere- 10/10 (Very well on point of setting the moods, easily sucked in into it's surroundings)

I can see this becoming a bigger series, movies and graphic novels because it's a creature. The story can be made with multiple paths, plus blumhouse is part of Crypt T.V, in hoping this gains more popularity!.

I ended up coming across Crypt T.V with my sister on youtube, because we were searching horror films due to lack and boring ones on "Netflix" Upon discovering this amazing channel "Crypt T.V" The Birch happened to be my favorite out of them all.

The Birch, an amazing title choice, with a very strong origin, well brought together throughout the episodes. It's a teen horror and among the current age, not much of horror films are good, but The Birch, does it terrific. You come across a teen who is grieving at the lost of her mother, while coming across something she shouldn't have seen, then threatened if she told the police. During someone grieving about a loss, you should not threat them because it's just cruel, but in the end, she found something.

She found a new mother, "The Birch" which in my opinion damn well designed, tree like monster, as the name fits with it's creative look, birched look figure. That lends help those in need of love and protection, truly a mother figure, but in a resembling form of nature, so a Mother Nature horror twist. LOVE IT.

You learn the origin of "The Birch" throughout the episodes that has a strong meaning, well thought through, a BIG BACK BONE (if you know what I mean) all honesty, the main character "Evie Grayson" acted by Xaria Dotson, gives me "Eleven, Stranger Things" Vibe. Grieving, to becoming a badass!.

I was surprised how well the characters were connected, acting very good, yes that's a strong saying, but it's what I think. Crypt T.V did a beautiful job of making "The Birch". Keeping you interested, luring you deeper into the lore, while you can't help but feel for the creatures motives. You tend to fall in love with the series, not just because it's a very good built story-line, but the creature herself "The Birch".

This T.V series deserve a lot of attention, it deserves a movie to release in theaters, like come on!, Out of all people, Jason Blum and Blumhouse Production back this company up a lot, which shows a lot of promise.

This was my first French Horror, which I wasn't expecting much from it, nor since it was a "Netflix" original series. Gives you the Stephan King vibes, which says a lot and promising to watch. Me being a horror fanatic since I was 5, this became my all time second favorite horror T.V series!.

In the beginning you're introduced the main character, Emma, a horror genre author, like Stephan King. Can't help too, that the actor who plays Emma,Victoire Du Bois, does a pretty damn good job. You're lured into the world of Emma, an Author who is very famous for her horror book, "Lizzie Lark", while introducing old colleagues, interesting and powerful roots unfolds, which the back bone of the story is very well written, as the horror slowly sinks you in pretty damn good. You start to unravel her past, connections and the relationships she had at her home town, which she abandoned years ago and due to an "event" had to travel back to that town, while dragging along her co-worker/friend. Slowly learning the root's of why she began to write, finding out that "Marianne" is real, the witch whom she been writing for 10 years "Lizzie Lark".

The horror events is really well thought through, between, creepy, nerve wrecking, cover your eyes and some jump scenes, as the story just keeps it's pace and interesting through each episode, connecting everything together and balanced, not letting the audience to get bored, or uninterested, which in my opinion, for a horror T.V series, that's a very hard thing to do now a days. Origin story has a strong and real-life events that happened century's ago, you know, the "Witch" trials. There is other witch T.V series/movies, but damn, Marianne, does it beautifully, which tends to rip Emma apart, emotionally, while you can tell deep inside, she can crack at any moment. This does the same with other characters in the series, it's just very well acted, also location wise too. Small town, which most of the people you can tell by the aura, how they feel about Emma.

Story Balance- 10/10 (The story never gets bored, keeping you interested with each episode)

Strong and well designed back story- 10/10 (Very good research been done, an origin very strong)

Characters Actors/Actresses- 10/10 (Characters are very well put in place through out, with great acting)

Tone/Music- 10/10 (Sounds, Atmosphere, Music is well balanced, makes sense, great timing)

Location choice- 10/10

In my opinion this Horror series deserve a lot more audience, with "Netflix" being the main supporter, it's surprising how great this series is, which i'm hoping more T.V horror story's are going to be well put together like Marianne.
