Stranger Things?

Rating: 6/10 (11 April 2018)

I'm not a fan of the recent horror films that involve some kind of demon/ghost possessing someone. Those are so overdone, which is why this one seemed so interesting. It indeed was very tense, scary, and showed a good family dynamic.
But, the monsters are just like the demogorgons shown on Stranger Things. I know that in A Quiet Place they were attracted to sound, but still I couldn't stop thinking about Eleven and Hop throughout the whole movie.
Also where is the backstory? Why did the little son have to die? Why did the dad have to die? Why did it end like that? Why have a baby in a quiet environment? I mean I know they couldn't exactly go to the store to by protection, but still!
I rated this a 6 because the acting was good and it was a creative idea, and I also love Emily Blunt, and I was curled up in a ball in my seat, but so many things could've been approached differently.
