Watch Out for the Quiet Ones

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2017)

I will never forget how old I was when I first read this book and saw the movie: I was eight. Granted it was rated R, my mother did not care. Then I got her and my middle brother to watch it with me. They loved it. In every high school (or grade school, for that matter), there is always that person who is bullied by everyone else and that person who tries to step in and stop it. What's sad in this day and age is that bullying has become such commonplace that nobody can stop it in time and the person who is the victim, nine times out of ten, will take their life.
The gist of this is to, as the title states, watch out for the quiet ones. If you bully them long enough, they will do something to get even with you. You don't even need a timeless classic like "Carrie" to tell you that. In my opinion, this is definitely one movie that all school bullies should sit down and watch until they get the picture. When they're done watching it, they may actually break down and apologize to that person (or maybe they don't) for all that they've done to them.
This is scary with a capital S. Ignore the two CGI-filled remakes that came after this. They can't even measure up to the shocks and scares that are developed with this one. A word to the wise: I try not to watch this in the dark. Keep a few lights on with this one. Enjoy.
