Well I somehow ended up on my 3rd Madison Iseman movie of this Halloween Horror season and I’m definitely not complaining. While I definitely now Stan her, this movie isn’t on that level. It’s low budget and rather predictable but I maintained interest throughout. Wasn’t a huge fan of Sydney Sweeney’s lead performance or really any of the performances for that matter; the melodrama is a bit much at times. I’d rate this perfectly solid but you won’t be blown away

Watch instead: The Perfection, Suspiria (2018)

Granted I was only watching this because it’s foggy outside and I wanted some spooky atmosphere, I was still disappointed. Too many characters, so many weird names and I rarely knew who was being referred to. The elaborate reveal at the end didn’t land as I didn’t have enough time to get to know the town of Sleepy Hollow. I think this has much more potential as a mini series. That being said Johnny Depp is good and the horseman scenes are pretty cool. I just didn’t care enough about the characters, particularly Christina Ricci, to really care about the end 

Tim Burton Ranked

A bunch of characters complain about how hard life is and then get everything they’ve ever wanted. Their stories you want to root for but the characters are so shallow and boring, when they achieve their goals, I just rolled my eyes and went “of course”. Weak writing and an incredible lack of subtlety make this quite disappointing

Well this really got me into the Halloween spirit. Easily the best horror anthology I’ve seen in the past month. While it’s not scary at all, it’s the right amount of spooky mixed with a lot of holiday cheer and the inter-weaving stories make for such a great way to show an anthology. I doubt think this would be as effective at any other time of year, but definitely recommended for some Halloween fun.
