The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Stranger Things, Season 1 (2016)

Starring: Wynonna Ryder, David Harbour, Matthew Modine, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaen Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton

Premise:
A kid goes missing. His mother goes over the edge as she swears he's communicating with her through items in the house. His three best friends start trying to figure out what happened. They find a mysterious young girl in the wood and befriend her. Could a government facility on the outskirts of town be the reason for all these mishaps. The sheriff is determined to find out.

My Take:
Believe the hype. It is real. I cant say enough good things about this outstanding series. Not only are there hommages galore to classic horror and sci fi flicks, but the story itself keeps the viewer hanging on every scene. Almost every character has a great and complete arc within the story. Crisp directions and at time bat shit craziness.

Rating: Instant Classic
