“The characters are too bland and forgettable, some of the stories have a deflating payoff, and even things such as the order of which teenager will be attacked next fall into an obtuse pattern. It’s in the details between the lines, between the pages, and between bedtime and morning when you hope to wake up from your nightmares.” Film School Rejects
#Scary stories to tell in the dark cast 2 movie#
“The film’s period setting and kids in peril will undoubtedly remind viewers of Stephen King’s It - especially of the movie and its impending second chapter - but the beauty of stories isn’t found in the broad strokes. Schwartz and Gammell should be feeling a great deal of pride right about now.” Dread Central If he and the rest of the cast/crew had the intention of making a kickass horror movie for the teenage audience, then they can rest well knowing that they succeeded. “Øvredal’s film isn’t aimed at the same crowd that he sought with The Autopsy of Jane Doe. But in between those excellent scares, there’s a lot of filler, a lot of perfunctory plotting and a lot of mediocre character development.” Bloody Disgusting
“When he’s telling weird supernatural tales Øvredal is clearly in his element, and the movie often works very well for several, breathless minutes at a time. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time-stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying tome. These terrifying tales soon have a way of becoming all too real for a group of u nsuspecting teens who stumble upon Sarah’s spooky home. It’s in a mansion that young Sarah Bellows turns her tortured life and horrible secrets into a series of scary stories. The shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large in the small town of Mill Valley for generations. Change is blowing in the wind… but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities lies the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large.
