Reviews taken to extremes....

Rating: 5/10 (22 June 2018)

I've watched the movie a few weeks ago without reading too much about it. Thought it was a decent movie, but not 'the most intense cinematic experience you could wish for' nor 'Boring, forgettable and insultingly stupid'. I love the fact that this movie makes use of the human senses and turns 'making a sound' into something unsettling! I've never sat through a movie where the audience remained this quiet. The acting was alright, although the pace might've been a bit too fast to truly develop the characters. Besides that I thought the movie didn't really bring something new to the table. It's pretty predictable right off the bat. I liked it, but I think I would've liked it more with a less predictable ending and without the excessive use of CGI on it's monsters, which also bear a striking resemblance to Strangers Things' Demogorgon.
