‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Review – One of Us
The One of Us crew’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark review for this young adult horror anthology.
However, director André Øvredal, who did two of our favorite horror films of the recent past, Trollhunters and The Autopsy of Jane Doe, was reason alone to be excited. And working from a script by horror stalwarts Guillermo Del Toro, Patrick Melton, and Marcus Dunstan, well… Maybe expectations would be a bit higher than usual for a children’s book series adaptation.
Turns out, on the whole, Scary Stories lived up to the promise of its creators AND what we’ve heard about the originals. The story follows a group of kids who discover a book that belonged to a girl who was terribly abused by her rich family and as legend has it, her ghost tells children who delve into the family’s crumbling abandoned manse scary stories…the last stories they’ll ever hear! Legend turns out to be true and the book starts writing itself, with new tales of horror involving each of the kids. Faced with a ticking clock they must decipher the true history of the angry ghost scribe before their own monsters come for them.
