Synopsis: In a small Midwestern town, a troubled teen with homicidal tendencies must hunt down and destroy a supernatural killer whilst keeping his own inner demons at bay.
Reaction: Creepy, tense, and unique. I hate the phrase "the book was better" and here I'm not even tempted to use it. There are differences from the book, but the movie is a great telling of the story in its own right.
Personal Rating: 8/10 |
