I really loved this film! It was my first time watching it and I thought it was super good! I am a sucker for the 80s, especially in film so I'm not entirely surprised I loved this one but I'm super happy I did. I definitely want to finish this series and I'm excited to see where it goes!

I enjoyed the characters a lot, I think Marty is my favorite, duh. But I also really loved that they embraced the change between the '50s and the '80s. I loved that Doc talks about what it was like to be where the mall was before it was a mall and then we see it happen. I like the details like that. Same with Marty's neighborhood.

Overall, I think this film is a great watch and definitely one I'll come back to!

A slow paced story set in the 80s about a girl growing into herself and life during her high school senior year. Everyone has secrets but it seems drawn out in finding out and not affecting anyone else in a way it might.
I enjoyed the story but it was kind of slow and I felt like we missed out on everyone else with only one perspective.

It does have a lot of the campy qualities that are so infamous in regards to the horror movies of the 70s and 80s, but the film also succeeds in developing such an effective sense of horror and tension that it’s easy to see how it spawned countless sequels and an entire genre of horror films.

General Lee
As I grew up watching dukes of hazzard in the 80s wasn't sure if this would be the same it's not the original is still the best. There are some great stunts involving the car the general Lee I gave the film an extra point just for Jessica Simpson and the car I will always stick with the original show

Just finished watching on shudder and I liked the movie very much the references to other horror movies the biggest nod the film gives to the Friday the 13th movies obviously the ditector and the writers are fans of 80s slasher movies and it shows plenty of gore on hand both the lead characters are likeable all and all thumbs up

Quite fun but badly dated
Seeing Joanna Lumley kicking ass as Purdey was great but Gareth Hunt as Mike Gambit was supposed to offer some eye candy for the ladies didn't really suit. He was better in those coffee adverts from the late 80s lol.
Still a bit tongue in cheek like the originals but didn't quite have the same magic

Track

"Brilliant melody. Lovely, swishy swashy song. Again, the lyrics are a bit cheesy, and sometimes you get the impression with Axl Rose that there's a really American 80s high school drama thing going on. All my mates were sucked into those Molly Ringwald films. We were all brought up on them, and some of the lyrics remind me of that. It's a really good tune."

"Beside Knausgård, Harstad is perhaps the best Norwegian writer right now. It’s about a young boy moving with his family from Norway to the USA, growing up there in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and so it’s an outsider’s look at American society, written with clinical precision and desperate humor. If you like thick, epic books like DeLillos' “Underworld,” this is probably up your alley."
