It's 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind...but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley, where for generations the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time. For a group of teenagers who discover Sarah's terrifying home, the stories become all too real in this spine-tingling film produced by Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro.

Horror Movie Talk

While Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great. It was pretty by the books. Its the movie you would write if you were tasked with writing a movie based on the book, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

While it spins its wheels far more than it needs to in justifying its own existence...Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark at least tries to be a fun experience for young and older viewers. The scariest part may be that it often succeeds in doing so.

David Griffiths

Creepily spectacular Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark is a throwback to films like Jeepers Creepers and Gremlins, films that were aimed for teenagers but had more of a horror side than most films aimed at that age-group.

Alvin Schwartz’s book series, of which the film adapts, also celebrated the power of monster stories, however graphic they got. The film channels that very spirit to entertaining, if somewhat conventional, degrees.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark has Guillermo Del Toro’s fingerprints all over the film but benefits heavily from André Øvredal’s assured direction.
