if you like production value with no a confused narrative and contraditory lore this is for you

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2018)

THIS MOVIE HAD A FEW cool looking scenes, but the overall story and narrative were silly and poorly plotted. The acting is NOT as good as everyone says, that little kid from stranger things is possibly the most annoying one of the bunch. One example of where they went wrong, in the original miniseries (which also was garbage to my eyes and ears) the sink scene had a balloon come out and pop blood which was one of the okay scenes but in THIS REMAKE it does a full on evil dead two geyser out of the sink, which addss nothing and actually takes away. ALSO then all the kids proceed to mop it up together to some wham! song or some b.s. like how is cleaning up demonic blood no adult can see a good time? Also at the end, to defeat an eldritch, lovecraftian entity/monster who one second ago can send a kid flying twenty feet with a swipe suddenly gets beaten by 7 little kids hitting it with sticks, WHEN I ENCOUNTER ANCIENT MONSTER GOD THINGS a few hits with a bat and wha lah problem solved. Go watch The Void instead
