Synopsis: In 1989, Sam and his friend Josh enjoy their last Halloween before adulthood with a group of friends. Things take a dark and bloody turn with the teens awaken demons of a local legend.
The Good: The movie is set in the late 80's and everything about it feels like that. It even has fake cigarette burns at times. However, unlike many modern movies set then, it doesn't turn it into a joke. It's just very true to the spirit of the setting. I really enjoyed the main characters. Their friendship was admirable and I could relate. Sam's eccentric Halloween rules also made me smile. You can tell the movie doesn't have a large budget, but the kills are still cool. The demon designs are awesome!
The Bad: I really don't have any complaints about this one.
Final Thoughts: This is Dark Places & Demogorgons, the movie. Sam and Josh's town could easily be J'town. I loved this flick. It really might be my favorite horror movie of the last two years. Also, like the last few horror flicks I've talked about, it is on Tubi. Finally check out this retro comercial for the mobile game based on the movie.
