This was really bad. Don't believe for a second that it's a horror. It's part comedy and part (nostalgic) throwback to 80's TV on Halloween night. I knew after 25min how bad this was going to be, but due to the very high ratings I decided to stop being a know it all and finish it off. What a terrible decision. There's more 80's gag TV ads than actual Halloween special. Ugh.

It's a very strong 3.75*. They obviously had to "Hollywood" the movie in the most obvious ways, which I hated, but they also had multiple scenes that you don't normally see in a Hollywood movie, so I commend them for that. I still remember this horrific event as if it just occurred yesterday. It was shocking and disturbing. And the film did a great job of showing that. The acting was very good and believable. And lastly, I'm extremely pleased that the staff were honoured for being the brave souls that they are.

It's a bit tame for a psychological thriller but the fact that it's based on true events makes the events and story impactful. The plot is very simple and concise. The acting is really good. But I had issues with the pacing as it seemed to drag on at times, feeling more like a drama than a thriller. Overall I would still rec this movie for fans of tame of dramas/thrillers.

Another teenage horror that falls into the cliche of not being scary and too over the top. The premise is sound bc it's a slasher, but the execution really fails. The acting is pretty bad even though it had good actors in it. I wouldn't rec this movie except teenage horror noobs.

This was better than I expected. I'm not the hugest fan of "teenage" horrors bc they end up being so over the top and not scary. This one wasn't scary but it wasn't over the top. The acting wasn't that bad, the plot had a semi-ok premise, the execution could've been a lot worse, etc. So I wouldn't rec this movie but at the same time I'm not going to trash it. It's somewhere in the middle of those 2 extremes.
