Fun horror in style of Stranger Things

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2018)

I enjoyed watching this. I'm a huge fan of Stranger Things, The Goonies, Stand by Me etc. It's somewhat weird movie as all the main characters are children, but the movie is definitely way too intense for smaller kids. There are some seriously spooky moments as well as very well made fx.
Acting is good all the way through, even tho some of the characters are a bit under developed. It's strange considering the movie lasts for over two hours and is definitely long for it's style. It doesn't feel long tho, it entertains very nicely, but you'd think some more substance would fit all that duration. I can't honestly say where all that time went.
So the story. I'm puzzled what or who the clown was or what did it represent. What was it's intention? What was this floating thing? Maybe it has something to do with growing up as the clown seemed to manifest when fears often concerning parents and growing up surfaced. The girl was getting her periods and there's all this blood her dad can't see. But not all fears seemed consistent with each other, so I was definitely a bit puzzled. Maybe the sequel wraps the story up.
Entertaining and very well made, but not perfect.
