I didn't have great expectations, but I ended up enjoying it. A bit of meta-cinema that might seem forced at times, but overall good and entertaining; better than 95% of horrors on Netflix.

It's a film that has a high risk of being hated by many for the way it subverts our expectations. It's also a film made by people who clearly love cinema, full of excellent production values, charismatic acting and with a strong social message. It takes patience and isn't as bloody and scary as it was sold, but its third act makes the whole trip worth it.

I noticed that some people used the word "satire", to make it sounds as if this movie is smarter than it actually is. These people need to google what "satire" actually means.

Satire is a comedic exaggeration of a stereotype as a form of criticism, This movie has no comedy, no exaggeration, no highlighted stereotype whatsoever. "A Classic Horror Story" just copied some part of other slasher movie plot and made a last minute criticism at the end. That's not a satire, that's just being unoriginal.

For real satire movies, check What We Do in the Shadows, Hot Fuzz, Tropic Thunder, or Don't Look Up. That what a satire movie really is. "A Classic Horror Story", is just a normal slasher movie.

That being said, the acting is good, special effect is good, script is good, plot is decent. If you can enjoy a decent, yet unimpressive slasher horror movie like me, I'd say give it a try. By its own merit, I think it's fair to give this movie a very normal 6/10.

People say it is satire and because the film is conscious about being a boring mix of Horrorfilms doesn't make itself any better.

The name says everything. I found it to be a clever homage to horror, with elements/inspiration from The Evil Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, Midsommar, The Cabin in the Woods. It's like comfort food. More like this please!

It's a good one. Photography and screenplay are well made, characters are believable in their choices, actors in their performances. Personally, I loved the well-aged Italian soundtrack. The movie is somehow thought provoking, with a twist in the end that I did not see coming until when the protagonist realises it too, and that's something per se.

Starting from the title itself, the movie goes around playing with genre's archetypes, landing a few scares, also managing to convey an overall sense of uneasiness.

The ending scene: it felt like a critique on our contemporary hysteria on having less and less time, our attention span is reducing, and even watching a movie becomes a chore. The viewer ends up skipping the movie entirely, fast forwarding it, picking few random scenes, ending up taking the same side of those who watched it distractedly, hated it, but spoke about it in capital letters in a comment on a social media.

It really questions the Netflix paradigm of producing movies based on "the like algorithm".

I like when an horror movie does what it's supposed to do: provoke you.

The movie tried to add some dumbass social commentary towards the ending and i got second hand embarrassment from it. First half of the movie was ok I mean it had been done so many times before but the atmosphere was actually horrifying and then the plot twist came...i counted the minutes begging for it to be over :(

Blair Witch meets The Village meets Midsommar. There you go.

People on here really have no clue. I am seeing a lot of 'cliche, taking parts from other horror movies'. Yeah,that was literally the entire point, its poking fun at predictable horror movies and how they use the same blueprint time and time again.... imo, very good tongue in cheek satire.

Not what I thought, but I liked it. It had all the main elements of horror. By the way, don't forget to watch the post credit scene. It adds a bit more to the story. Again, post credit scene.

I have to admit the first hour or so had me thinking this was going to be something similar to the 2017 English movie The Ritual. But after that it took "A Cabin in the Woods" kind of turn, and the finish was terrible.

I think Lutz did a good job, other than that I give it three mehs.

A Classic Horror Story: Southern Gothic but this film is set in the South of Italy and the Gothic shades into Folk Horror. There are elements of pastiche here as several tropes are mixed - a group of people who are car pooling get involved in a crash, when they come to they are in their camper van but it's in a forest clearing. Nearby is a deserted house, in it they find pictures of a Pagan cult and evidence of savage rituals. Then the fun begins, hordes of cultists wearing bark masks and animal masks act out the ritual. Some very disturbing scenes of mutilation and murder ensue. There are influences here from the Wicker Man, Midsommar and a 1975 film Race With The Devil but ACHS has it's own strengths and puts it's own stamp on things. The film takes a strange turn and their are plot twists which sends the narrative off in an even more bizarre direction as we get into the territory of Meta-Horror. While this might not be a classic it's well worth watching. Co-Directed/Co-Written by Roberto De Feo and Paolo Strippoli. On Netflix. 7/10.

This is one of those awful cliched Horror movies that you have accustomed to seeing from Netflix these days . Acting and direction is terrible and the plot is so predictable that you can guess what the next scene is going to be . Avoid this movie if you can . You have probably seen a hundred ( and much better) movies like this one before I.

A Classic horror story is one of the best Netflix horror movies i have seen i realy recomend it.

It is a very original movie and it has A rating at 5,9 that is totaly wrong. If you have time Watch this movie right now.

It was interesting at the beginning, but after halftime of the movie... very disappointed. Should classify this as a comedy rather than horror.

Reading the reviews you'l see people state this movie steals from various other horror movies, of course it does thats the point, in fact it's self awareness of it is almost overdone.

But i like all of them movies, so i liked this. But even the satire element is nothing new, on no level at all does this offer anything different, actually the fact that it's so like such a vast amount of different films maybe does make it different..

it's twist was probably the biggest cliche, and way too obvious, almost ruined it for me, once you figure it out in the first few minutes it's like the movie spends the next hour making it ridiculously obvious over and over again and then wants you to be surprised when it's revealed.

But it's fine, worth a watch if thats what your into.

Nothing original. Every decent scene from good horror films taken and mashed together to create a seriously terrible movie. I'm sure the writer wanted to say something about society or whatever, and the tries to be clever but fails miserably. Pointless.

With the passage of time people are becoming hyper critical and nit picky movie snobs and I'm tired of it. You'll see many of the same people who give nothing but low scores and give the same reason for why the movie is bad. If for no other reason the insight in to an Italian folk legend that is completely unknown to us should immediately get respect on its own but this is a great story with excellent pace fantastic visuals with talented people putting on an excellent show top to bottom. It's scary without jump scares it's tense and with an unexpected and well thought out story arc's that's more than one story arc. You want to be entertained by something new that is also done well you'll enjoy this movie a lot. Not details about the movie because what's the point of that anyway.

If your first, second and third impression is that this isn't worth watching, that it's cheap and a copy of all we have seen before - just go on watching to the bitter end - it's worth it, because there's a nice and intelligent surprise waiting.

I couldn't believe how boring this was. After 45 minutes of nothing happening I watched the rest of this snooze fest on FF. Save yourself precious time if you're looking for a suspenseful horror film and skip over this ironically titled film because there's neither horror or suspense in it, and there's certainly nothing classic about it either. Watch this only if you have trouble sleeping. Zzzzzzzzz.

5 strangers carpooling in an RV find themselves in a terrifying situation after driving into a tree.

It's an Italian film but does have some English sprinkled in. I put subtitles on because I find English dubbing removes me from the film.

I don't want to go into too much detail in regards to the plot because I fear I'll spoil it. I will say that it promises to be a brutal and claustrophobic bloodfest but doesn't follow through, instead trying to subvert expectations.

Definitely watch it, but I doubt you'll watch it twice.
