If you happen to like the book don't ever watch this movie it is probably the most ridiculous doesn't even have but like three of the stories in the movie kind of take that you will ever see Guillermo del Toro has gotten lucky because of the people that make his special effects but he sucks ass for doing this movie

This is absolute wank, trying to piggy back off the likes of teenage actors from Stranger Things and IT, don't do it and save yourself 2hrs

The movie has it's scares, the plot is a bit messy at some point's. After the movie, when I went to try and make conversation about it, I forgot what I had just watched. The movie is good if you're looking for some really corny popcorn flick, and maybe have a few laughs. I was just disappointed, I guess I had expected too much from a film that at the time I didn't realize was PG-13, it was a Guillermo Del Toro film.The same director who had directed Shape of Water (2017) which had won several nominations. Hellboy (2004), Pan's Labyrinth (2006), Hellboy: The Golden Army (2008), and Pacific Rim (2013)So many great movies from such an amazingly unique director!Even though I was disappointed for how easily forgettable the movie could be, it had very little CGI, only 10% of CGI was used for the monster's while the majority 90% was practical effects, so good job for the special effects team. That's the only compliment I can really give this film.
