Where the Scary Things Are

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.

By a technical standpoint, the movie's not bad. It has some good camera work, the sound mixing was on point, the acting - for the most part - wasn't bad.

When the movie started, all of the characters were deplorable. As it continued, the characters only got worse. With the exception of the Snack character, all you want is to see the other characters killed. I only kept watching just to see everyone else get killed off. The worst characters were Bran (from the get-go, you want him dead), Ayla (no redeeming factors) and Scribble (just a general horrible person).

Hell, the monster (Crockamoley) was sympathetic. You wanted to see it off the entire cast - you just waited for it.

I felt like this film had potential. If it focused on the Jeni character being bullied due to her anxiety and how Snack was someone to befriend her while trying to distance himself from his "friends," it could have worked. Honestly, this film fails because its focus is on the wrong people.

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.

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.

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.
