"Stranger Things" on Netflix
Jul. 30th, 2016 11:54 pmStranger Things is an 8-episode show on Netflix. It's a fun horror show that takes place in 1983 and is reminiscent of movies such as E.T., the Goonies, and Gremlins.
In the first episode, we see a group of four boys, around age 12, playing D&D in a basement. On their way home, one of the boys, Will, takes a shortcut home and in a scary scene, is nabbed by a mysterious monster. The remaining three boys decide to help search for him in the woods and run into a girl with a buzzed hair who barely speaks. The show follows this crew of kids, the police chief, and some towns people and they investigate the disappearance of the missing boy and try to track down the monster.
Content notes: child endangerment; flashing lights; scenes of bullying
( What I liked and didn't like, with spoilers )
Overall this is a clever, suspenseful, and well-done SF/horror show. Recommended.
