Where the Scary Things Are

Terrible acting from the characters. Scenes with the the main girl are hard to watch especially when it's 5 minutes straight of her dancing for no reason infront of her friends. No cool kills coming from the monster. Would skip again if I could.

'Where the Scary Things Are' chronicles a group of young kids and their mission to create an urban legend for a school project. But, when their scary urban legend creature starts getting likes online, the group faces an impasse of friendship or fame.

This is awful. The acting is dismal, the script would be alright if it was done with competent direction, the flow is terrible, and the overall film is one that should have been burned on the cutting room floor. Ayla (Selina Flanscha) is unusually angry or aggressive throughout the film and Bran (Quinn Andrew Fickes) sad attempt at apathy comes off as plastic. All of the kids are referred to by their nicknames throughout the film, by both teachers and parents - Scribble (Oliver Givens), Mighty (Riley Sullivan), and Snack (Peter Cote) don't have 'real' names. The monster is kinda neat, but ultimately cannot pull the film with such horrid acting.

Avoid at all costs.

Why does this exist?

This movie fails to even grasp the simple formula of horror movies, rather it shoots itself in the foot a billion times.

After watching this film. I come to a consensus, the director should never be present on a film set. He is no John Carpetner, he's a lousy investment.

Steer clear of this 'movie', it is boring and a waste of time.

It's terrible and I love corny horror movies. If you value your time this is not for you. It is unorganized. If you decide to watch it, wait for it on Tubi. Why sexualize the young teenage girl? It's creepy. Not the 80's.

I can't remember a movie with a weaker plot and completely unlikeable characters in my lifetime. The girl in the gang is absolutely repulsive in her cartoon like anger and entitlement and her headbanded boyfriend is nothing more than an NPC doorstop. The only second to the girl is the annoying underdeveloped troll boy with the camera that quips continuously. This would have presented better as a 2 minute snuff film in which the "child stars" were dispatched at 30 seconds. Someone needed at tax write off by making this one. Atrocious.
