Based on the Novel By Grady Hendrix. This a dreadful film and an even worse adaptation that you should not waste your time on.
Here is some info about the channel:
Greeting ghouls and ghosts! Our names are Jason and Kali, and we are the horror couple of your dreams- or nightmares!

I was really bothered that it didn't open up at the skating rink like in the book

Definitely, it added to the girls friendship. When she started quoting the lines from the book at the end... and when she mentioned the "E.T." line.. I was mad because casual viewers wouldn't even know why she was saying it.

Definetely the book works better because you spend years with them before anything strange happens. Plus the bodybuilding priest gets quite a nice redemption in the book

I feel like they locked up the screenwriters in a room, tossed them a single book to share, and gave them 7 minutes to read it through, after which they’d never again be allowed to reference the source materials but would have to write from memory of whatever they vaguely recalled. That’s the only way I can justify all the senseless changes and the total lack of soul.

For some reason I thought this was going to be a TV Series and I was super hyped for it then I found out it was going to be a movie and a 90 minute movie at that, this would have worked so much better as a mini series with like 6-8 45 minute episodes focusing heavily on the friendship between Abby and Gretchen with a lot more 80’s throwbacks, there’s so many things missing from the book that set this back way back and not just as an adaptation but as a movie itself, makes me wonder how many movie scripts are cut down by the studio to fit the budget and time they have, I’m just super bummed about this movie
@sinistercinemareviews5420

That would have been so much better for sure. This was super rushed

This is such a bummer. Yes, the relationship is essential to this story, the friendships are something that makes the book so great. If you all read more I’d love to hear what else you read and enjoy or not enjoy!

I think they shot themselves in the foot by changing Margaret and Glee. Because part of the horror of the book isn’t the demons but the prejudices of 80s SC high society. How that’s ingrained at a systematic level. When the bad stuff goes down everyone turns on Abby because of her background. They isolate and scapegoat her. Whereas her rich old money peers show their true colours and get away with everything. I honestly don’t get the impression that she’s that much poorer than her peers in the movie. And they definitely couldn’t handle the consequences of removing this huge part of the story.

100% agree!! I was SO dissapointed with the movie. I hope this books gets another shot, possibly with a tv series, because the book was AMAZING!

I read this last year, and when I saw this was such a short film I immediately began to worry. When I was finishing the last few chapters I had a few demons of my own kicking the hell outta me. So I'm uncertain if many others felt the way I sis, but I was left sobbing and smiling by the final page. Oh....and the diet drink. Fuck my gag reflex that fucking scene in the bedroom.... Side note: did you know it's impossible to vomit and smile at the same time? Try it now! Ill watch it eventually. Just like I'll watch the final episode of GoT and the first ten minutes of Irreversible. But I'm in no real rush. Thanks for the review.

They really should have channeled the ACTUAL vibe of the book, which was 80's straight to video horror. Like hence the coverbof the actual book. Like even the book cover told them what to do. Urgh. Home with strep throat wanting a comfy cozy 80"s nostalgia film of one of my favourite authors but nope. It was almost insulting. Prime needs to quit making films.

I didn't mind the movie, the description was a comedy horror and I did have some laughs. If you take it as a serious movie, I can see why people didn't enjoy it. I have seen bad movies, like the happening, or any marvel super hero movie, Past infinity war. I like horror movies. I am not pleased till I hear terrible cries of anguish. Tears of suffering people sustain me. Lol. But..... The exorcist jock Christian band jerk made the whole movie 😅

Also, be careful of being the stereotype of "nothing about this is good, it's not like the book" or the book is better. Or you know what I mean. It's normal for every single person to hate any movie because it's easy to say you hate everything. Like going out to eat. You hate the host, server, bartender, and atmosphere and the manager is a dick because he didn't comp your meal. Just a tip.

I was beyond excited to see this and i was let down massively, they left so many key events out. Gretchen & abbys friendship, how they met, growing up together, good boy max, halleys comet the comet in particular was an ESSENTIAL part of the book and they just left it out. I understand that certain things from the book they just couldn't film due to them being somewhat problematic in today's world ie "we are the world" passage in which abbey was dressed as quincey jones and the whole "bad mamma jama" VHS that the two main characters found in gretchens parents bedroom but the whole film felt as though it was rushed and empty. The so called friendships felt very forced and the acting was very wooden and the ending... Wtf even was that ending?

I dont even know why… but it pissed me off that they changed DBNQ (Dearly but Not Queerly) to “LYLAS (Love you Like a Sister). Like its something so small but… It angers me.

I loved the book. Fucking masterpiece, imo. As soon as the trailer dropped, I was underwhelmed. When the review embargo lifted at what seemed like the last minute, I was worried. It seems my fears were justified.

Disappointed in this review. Y’all look killer and I’m sure y’all are awesome peeps, but I read this book less than a year ago because Grady is my favorite novelist who helped me get back into reading. I love the book! I didn’t love the movie, but I think it was pretty stellar for being as short of an adaptation as it is. A lot is cut out, but a lot is still very true to the novel aside from the campy CGI demon at the end, but it added to the 80s feel and didn’t take up much time. Just my quick thoughts, after seeing it when it first came out I’ve had time toruminate on it. Hopefully once it’s sat with y’all you may feel a bit different.

This sounds like the worst book to movie adaptation since The Lovely Bones. (Granted, Alice Sebold's novel has its issues, but Peter Jackson's movie makes so many wrong decisions that it is embarrassing.)

I really enjoy Grady but I haven't read this book. This feels like a very watered down version of his style and it never really felt like the 80's. I will say that the movie started off pretty good but went to s@@t around the 45 min mark.
