Weeknight Watchearly rating

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's okay. I wouldn't plan your time around it.

Early rating from audience scores only. The full five-pillar rating is on its way.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. A good follow-up to Fear Street: 1978 or Frankenstein.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Hundreds of years before Pennywise, three youngsters venture into the Western Wood...where they encounter a terrifying ancient spirit.
