LittleWaySoul Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I've been hearing great things, but I'm hesitant to watch because it seems a bit creepy. How accurate is this assessment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How accurate is this assessment? It is creepy. Think creepy like an old school monster movie. Or like the film Halloween. Not Exorcist creepy.

Not Exorcist creepy. I haven't seen those, but that's good to hear-- I have difficulty with demons-creepy. Maybe I'll check it out someday or watch with a friend!

Nihil Obstat Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The way I would describe it is as being very much a mix of Stand By Me, E.T., The Goonies, and The Thing. And that feeling of being a combination of those films is quite intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I've seen pretty unanimous approval of this show across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<3 PopeFrancis Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Has anyone watched American Horror Stories I watch a couple when I go to a friend's. No way I'd watch it alone. Sometimes these kind of movies that are creepy when your alone are hilarious when you are with friends and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthfinder Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Can any give me the brief premise of what Stranger Things is about? I've heard so many people talking about it but I don't have a clue what it's about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard so many people talking about it but I don't have a clue what it's about The trailers do a good job of giving a premise without spoiling it (IMHO), but essentially it's a love letter of sorts to 80s horror movies. Here's my attempt at an intro premise: A boy named Will goes missing in a small town and a morher's frantic search for him takes a turn no one could have expected. The boy's friends find a strange girl in the woods. Is she tied to Will's disappearance? It's more sci-fi/monster-horror than demon/serial-killer horror, so I think that's why it was a tolerable level of scariness for me. It's definitely creepy, but the story and acting are excellent. I loved all of the characters.

truthfinder Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thanks @LittleWaySoul! I don't really like really creepy stuff - but I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I think some people overstate the creepy aspects. They are there, but it is more a mystery/thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilianus Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I started watching it because of this thread. 2 episodes in. I would give it a 4 out of 10 in the creepy/scary factor. 7 out of 10 in nostalgia factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
