They Reach (2020)
Well worth a watch!
I'm not sure why this film has a low rating. If you want to grab some popcorn and watch a movie that's really fun, scary, well directed, written, acted and shot - (a real homage to so many wonderful horror films) - this is it! The director, Sylas Dall obviously loves 70's & 80's horror (as there are so many nods here, it's hard to put my finger on any one film...it's more like Dall captures what is special about so many horror movies we all love. I really loved little things like naming the two cops Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith and the ubiquitous "Night of The Living Dead" heard on the TV (even though I'm always mad Romero never got $$$ for it - here, it was obviously done with love. The kids all did a great job and the director got great performances out of the whole cast. I thought it might be a Raimi rip off by the description, but nope...it was a very pleasant surprise how much fun it was. Solid writing and FX also add to its charm. Looking forward to Dall's next film. Definitely Not a 4...double that and enjoy!
