Which version of “The Man Who Sold the World” do you like better - David Bowie or Nirvana? Don’t worry - with this movie you don’t HAVE to choose because it’s got both!
If you weren’t satisfied with a heaping dose of 1994 nostalgia maybe this batch of 1978 nostalgia will do the trick. The protagonist is played by Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink who is no stranger to period pieces.
There are SO many striped shirts. I guess that’s all they wore in 1978.
The soundtrack is full of hits by all your favourites: Captain & Tennille, Blue Öyster Cult, Kansas, Buzzcocks, Cat Stevens, The Runaways, and more.
Can you imagine boning to a Foghat song? How about climbing up a functional outhouse? Well you won’t have to imagine anymore!
Why do people like camp? I don’t get it. It’s funny to me that anyone has any positive associations with summer camp. As a person who never attended sleepaway camp I only know it as the setting for horror movies.
What sort of camp has a room full of caged animals like possums and snakes?! This is a place full of teens run by SLIGHTLY older teens. Seems irresponsible.
I hope to give an inspirational speech right before I die.
I was delighted to see Dylan Gage (AKA Gabe from PEN15!) in a tiny role.
Seems gauche that a mall is built around a tree that was the known burial spot of a witch and the site of multiple child murders.
There is a LOT of stabbing. I wasn’t sure if the amount was supposed to be so over the top that it was comical? It’s SO much. SO many innocent people die! WOOF!
One of the ghouls (?) looks A LOT like Michael Myers from Halloween (1978) (see above).
Steve Harringron in season 1 of Stranger Things is the most character. He did some bad stuff and immediately went “Aw, beans. That wasn’t cool. I better go apologize” at which point The Plot he’d been blissfully unaware of for the entire show immediately tried to eat him.
