Where the Scary Things Are

Within ten minutes the film rips off key elements of Stand By Me, doesn't develop any characters at all and ends up in a beyond boring mishmash of cliches and bad performances.

It's like he thought ripping off Stephen King or Spielberg-type elements of a story would make it a winner. But no dice. You forgot to make it interesting for the audience dude. We know nothing of the kids themselves and their home lives. Same goes for all the adult characters.

I hope none of you has paid good money to see this, as revisiting the original movies the "director" references in his "Synopsis" on here would be a far better investment.

Boring drama horror.. this is just all wrong evil kids wanting to be someone but not. I hate to bad mouth but hopefully you learn from this and make something stronger next time.

Is the only redeeming quality of this movie.

Sci-fy meets lifetime movie of the week with no scares or plot sums up this movie nicely.

What little plot there is, focuses on a young teen girl manipulating her friend group with her sexual wiles, and the children/teens of today being little narcissistic psychopaths in training that strive and live for the approval and adoration of strangers on the internet.

I want my time back.

'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.

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.
