Nice movie overall, saw it on TV. Acting is good, Finn and his sister are great, Ethan Hawke as the creepy über-villain with an ever-changing mask outfit. The violence among the kids is excessive at times, but so was school occasionally… Cinematography has some interesting angles, especially with the ghost kids, but those colors drove me crazy. They are saturated but somehow flat and dull anyway, and they definitely overdid the green-and-orange look. What’s wrong with a natural color palette? Nevertheless worth seeing.
Creative and quite original; at least within the last few years. I was a kid in the 70s and this was pretty accurate, unlike the snowflakes today. Good story; inventive. Like the small number of twists and a great ending.
these reviews are weird i thought it was so good
Formula movie. Should never have been made.
This the movie because it is not scary its like a little and I like finn ,robben and finn”s sister and the dad is the worst
the plot and ending
It's definitely not the scariest it's more of thriller with horror aspects but the movie it self was great. It has great depictions of the 70's and really shows what life was like then. I've watched this movie several times already and I would watch it again.
The grabber was a great villian. The movie was really Gorey for a child cast, and it had EXCELENT actors. I’d 10/10 reccomend the movie. Although some scenes felt kinda..out of place. Characters were lovable and the plot made sense. The jump scares made sense and weren’t cheap. Great use of CGI, the ending wasn’t awful but it could have been a little more closure but it was all around a good movie. Ps. The grabber was hot lowkey
This movie just never gets going. It wasn't scary, either.
I was excited by EH’s potential in this movie. Ultimately, it felt like I was watching a spooky movie on Nick at night close to Halloween. Story was cheese.
