"I rented this film by mistake when I was 15 with my brother. They told us it was a scary movie. It pretty much made me want to be an actor. Al Pacino will break your heart. And Gene Hackman will break your other heart."

Here are the Paste Magazine's top YA books this month:

Many of these novels feature characters at their worst and life situations at their most horrifying, so prepare to be unnerved and engaged by these tales.

not too scary which allows a focus on the plot
if you're looking for a proper scare, look elsewhere (1 more)
the end seems a bit of a stretch really within the context of the rest of the film

Not as creepy as the others
A decent entry in the franchise but noticeably not as scary, creepy as the other films. Nice to see some more background on the main character. Unfortunately a bit over reliant on predictable jump scares.

Well, that was disappointing. The stories were only mildly interesting, almost to the point of boring. It wasn't scary at all, and I get spooked relatively easily. The most interesting episode was the 'witch' episode in Massachusetts. Even the episode about Elizabeth Balthory wasn't all that interesting.

"This book is so raw and true to the feelings of abandonment when a mate ups and leaves that it is a bit scary. I especially appreciate Ferrante’s clear-eyed depiction of the abandoned mother with the snarly children who don’t understand and don’t care either."

Could have used more Satanic theatricality. If you’re going there, really go for it. (1 more)
The demise of characters at the end felt corny.

I’d recommend this to anyone. It’s horror, but it’s not scary at all.

I would describe this as a nose dive, at the start i was fully on board. I thought this was going to be the first tom cruise film i actually like, and then it go wierd... Boring... and just plain stupid.
The first half was good and fun, scary at times when the zombie outbreak happens...
And i have issues with a skeleton swimming, i feel like it would just sink and not be able to swim without skin to cup the water?

Oh lordy! Although I think I would actually prefer if they had half the film with Tom Cruise as the lead then Brendan Fraser steps in and says "Move aside little kid, I've got this" *stares as the Mummy woman* "I really hate Mummy's" *Shotgun to the face*
