Four friends passionate about horror stories find a mysterious book whose stories write themselves and also occur at the same time.
A horror film produced (and written, among others) by Guillermo del Toro based on a series of books written by Alvin Schwartz. Somewhere between horror and fantasy in fact, it is somewhat stuck between genres, being too scary for children and not scary enough for a more mature audience. Well done, visually interesting, it uses the talent of regulars like Javier Botet (It, [Rec], Mom, The Strain, Don't Knock Twice, Crimson Peak and many more) or Troy James (Hellboy, The Strain, October Faction) in the roles of the monsters/ghosts but fails to cross the threshold towards remarkable.
Directed by: André Øvredal
With: Zoe Margaret Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush, Austin Abrams
