    Um filme de terror juvenil muito gostoso e fluido de se ver. Muito dificilmente você adulto irá ficar assustado com o filme, mas um pré-adolescente pode ser que sim. A maquiagem e efeitos são maravilhosos, e isso dá todo um especial neste filme. Confesso que só vi agora, porque o pôster do filme, da a impressão de filmes de baixo orçamento, mas quebrei a cara com a qualidade.

    Inspired by other anthology franchises like 'The Twilight Zone' and 'Tales from the Crypt' 2019's 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' hoped to revive the genre. SYNOPSIS: 'In 1968, the night of Halloween brings mayhem in a small town when a group of friends discovers a notebook written by a mysterious girl that foretells terrifying events.' This isn't the best anthology film out there, it loses itself at times but the characters are strong enough to keep you interested. It's also proof that the classic tricks of creaking floorboards can be just as effective as hugely expensive CGI. Overall 'Scary Stories....' is a decent horror movie with enough jump scares to keep any horror fan happy. And if you're into disgusting monsters this is definitely a film for you. A faithful adaptation to its source material. 7/10

    A work of art, hands down one of my favourite films to watch, I love the playfulness of the thrill in this, something I haven't really seen before in this genre which is always refreshing to watch something new, the storyline and cast was amazing

    I found this movie very entertaining. The notebook dynamic offers a nice and original suspense style.

    Entertaining and a great use of incorporating the book source material. This movie has become a new Halloween favorite of mine to watch. A tough feat considering most of my go-to fav movies for Halloween are at least 20+ years old.

    It started off pretty good. Then it got boring, a very easy to figure out plot with a fall asleep climax. The ending was a regular, "we will do it together" like you would find in any kids movie. Nothing really exciting about this movie, the monsters did look cool though. Overall, this movie was just a quick thing to watch and very forgettable.

    Surprisingly the connective narrative between the various "stories" proves to be the strongest material and the horror set pieces aren't bad either.

    To be honest, this is a solid horror movie. The CGI was very well done and allowed the movie to go beyond a classic haunted house story. The end was refreshing and built a stage for a sequel, which is yet to come. Unfortunetly, the individual short scary stories within the movie fall flat. While the scarecrow story prepared the viewer for high-quality future stories, the Auggie and Chuck stories left me underwhelmed. Both had huge potential, featuring good CGI, an interesting introduction, and the needed level of suspense, but the ending was boring for both. Auggie being pulled into a mindless abyss left me speechless, and not in a good way, while Chuck being absorbed into the very well created monster was creative, but left very little room for feelings of fear, rather evoking those of confusion. So while I did enjoy this movie and would recommend it to new and seasoned horror fans, it is not one of my favorites.

    The beginning of the movie has weird dialogue and acting choices. The cinematography was occasionally cool and clever (disorientating scenes or playing w colors). The deaths could have been slightly more eventful. The first death was well done and had a great twist. I was gonna say I don't like the ending but its an unfinished ending that leads to a sequel so its fine. I like the classic horror movie Halloween vibe + lack of bloody scenes.
