Scary Stories (from a Dark Allie)

Oh, hello October! I guess we’re back to movies I remember liking more when they came out?

I had fun with this one. Much of that fun was from seeing just how well Gracie Gillam plays a total creeper. She is SO GOOD.

Wow, I like this movie a surprising amount. I definitely remember liking it on my first watch, and even rewatching it at 1.75x speed this time, I was thinking WOW. So much yet so little happens. So many questions are posed and rarely answered.

I wasn’t too impressed with this movie. It had a reasonably interesting (if unoriginal) story, and the acting was pretty good, but it didn’t grab me like some of the other things I’ve watched this month.

Okay, it is true. I definitely liked this more than the original. The story is more tightly told, with the scare factor and tension being built up much earlier and more consistently.

I had a lot of problems with this movie. I thought the acting was great, but the pacing was off and parts of the story didn’t sit right with me, either.

Okay, to be honest, this is between four and five stars for me, but it’s been a while since I’ve rated something a full five stars, and this was entertaining enough, so…

I had fun with this film! I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve seen anything with Heather Graham, and even longer since I’ve actually liked something I’ve seen her in.

I’ve had this movie on my watch list for a long time and am only just getting around to it. It was okay, but nothing special. It’s one of those films where there’s an interesting story but sometimes the special effects are too laughable to be scary.

This movie was boring. It had an interesting enough story, but it was SO boring.

So this is like a made-for-TV Lifetime horror movie and let me tell you, it SHOWS. But it was still pretty watchable. I think that’s mostly because I would watch Leighton Meester in pretty much anything.

Okay, I do have some more to say about this one than about yesterday’s. I liked this one better, but not better enough to give it a higher rating. But it has been a while since I’ve watched a scary movie with Julian Morris!

This movie was okay. It’s a pretty standard slasher film from the 1980s.
