June 17, 20223 yr The oldest daughter and I would be in for this. The rest of the fam would be more into a minions movie. Sissies.
July 1, 20223 yr The wife and I watched this last night and we thought it was great, highly recommend.
July 3, 20223 yr Would this be suitable for 17 yr and 14 yr old girls? Just normal kids not hyper religious or anything. Also is there any nudity/sex as the wife still fast forwards non nudity sex scenes in Netflix shows even if only with the 17 yr old.
July 3, 20223 yr I don't have kids so I might not be the best judge of it but I think it'd be fine for a 17 year old... not for a 14 year old though- I think it might be a bit much for that age. There's no nudity or sex, but there's a bit of brutality (in case that matters). Great movie, but I found it to be VERY intense. Edited July 3, 20223 yr by KaiserSoze
July 3, 20223 yr You can always look up the parental advisory section on any movie listing on IMDb.com.
July 3, 20223 yr Saw it this weekend - really enjoyed it. Liked the use of not just the music and clothing/hairstyles but also choice of video/cinematography to establish its late 70s setting.
July 6, 20223 yr Saw it last night. It definitely kept a tense atmosphere throughout. Enjoyable movie.
July 6, 20223 yr already had 3 friends tell me this is a must watch. i love me ethan hawke and sinister.. im hoping its something similar

They like horror movies, definitely wouldn't break someone in on this one. Definitely lots of intensity, including some non-sexual child abuse. I thought the movie was great, esp Ethan Hawke.
July 12, 20223 yr This was really good. 16 year old daughter thought it was great. I was skeptical how they could make a kidnapping story intense or scary; they did with some interesting creativity.
July 12, 20223 yr Enjoyable movie. Looks like it's leaving theaters so if you want to see it on a big screen, do it soon.
July 16, 20223 yr Caught this last night. It was all over the place in terms of tone and a lot of it just really did not mesh together. It kind of wanted to be a teenager saves the day kid genre similar to Stranger Things, but then also had some real violence and horror elements. There were also some really, really stupid and/or cringy parts of the movie. The entire plot line with Daniel from LOST was horrendous. Hawke was great as always, but also seemed like he was in a different movie from the other actors. All of that said, I didn’t think about work for 2 hours on a Friday night, and for that I give it 5 stars.
July 19, 20223 yr I didn’t love it. Thought it was kinda boring. Definitely not scary and not worth $20 for PPV.
August 16, 20223 yr This dropped on Peacock. looking to watch tonight.. never got around to it during theaters .. .i love me some ethan

November 12Nov 12 Oldest and I went to see it last night. It's decent. She liked the sequel better and thought it was scarier than the original. I liked the first one better. The sequel was probably the easiest payday Ethan Hawke has had.
