Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)- Quarantine Movie Review

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) is a horror movie based on the book with the same name by Alvin Schwartz. It is directed by Andre Ovrdal. As a book, it created several controversies in the society because it contains several disturbing elements. It is also considered as the most challenging book in 1990's and 2000's.



The plot is simple. A group of friends interrupt into a haunted house and they have found a scary book. Suddenly, the story starts to happen in real. The group tries to stop the demonaic and they unravel the mystery behind the book.



In the deep, the movie teaches us a story can make a man or it convert one into devil. It depends on our approach. The movie has not scary jump moments but it has scary moments.

Most of the disgusting and distrubing scenes in the book is avoided due to graphic violence. As usual the music, setting and plot is good but it reminds some horror movies like The Conjuring, It.



Somehow, this movie is not a cliche and it is worth to watch. The actors are performed well and it is a slow burn too. The movie gives some lead to sequel at the end. The book version contains three parts. I hope its sequel is going out to be soon.

Overall, Sacry Stories to Tell in Dark is gripping, gruesome, strong, powerful, disturbing, disgusting in some cuts and also engaging.

Imdb 6.2/10
Sharkz scale 6/10
