the score from John Carpenter is the only redeeming quality graphic animal abuse/death - TIMESTAMP 38:52-40:21

More of a superhero film rather than horror. Watched the original just before watching this and none of the two impressed me but the original is better. The John Carpenter score is too good for this. Weird to see Zac Efron as a dad but he did great. Michael Greyeyes is such a badass!

Pleasantly surprised. If this were Marvel the reviews would be way kinder.

A decent coming-of-age drama horror with excellent lead performances. To be honest I didn't enjoy the original adaptation at all. I thought it was uninteresting and overlong, so I went into this re-adaptation expecting it to be at least slightly better and that's what I got. It's more of a drama with horror elements in it. Definitely not scary but it delivers the chills that you usually get from most Stephen King films, thanks to the Carpenter score. It also improves on everything the original did wrong. The characters seem to stick out more and the emotional parts work really well. The technical aspects are great as well, the effects in particular are well made. Give it a try.

carpenter score is good, zac efron's always a good actor so i liked him, but in general just. so boring. a cat dies and it's pretty graphic, someone else here gave a time stamp and that sounds about right. idk charlie just felt a little too old for her behavior to be rationalized away, even if she never learned how to deal with her powers.
