Not scary, but pretty entertaining - 69% (Favorable)

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2018)

I really struggled on deciding whether I liked this movie or not, and ultimately I just can't say that it's a good movie. However, I did enjoy it quite a bit! I think the premise was really interesting and I liked the creepy vibe and imagery in the movie. I really like Lena Dunham's performance and the main villain was very entertaining to watch... I feel like he wouldn't make a bad Joker. Ethan Hawke was also pretty good, but the kids... not so much. The movie also became pretty cliche and predictable which ultimately brought it down for me. Overall, it was an enjoyable ride with some pretty good ideas and social commentary but it could have been executed better.
