Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a mediocre horror film from Guillermo del Toro. Based on the popular book series, a group of misfit teenagers explore a haunted house where they find a book belonging to a witch that begins to write stories in blood foretelling each of their deaths. The script is pretty formulaic and the creatures are rather tame (kind of what you’d expect from a kids book series). Still, the sets and costumes are well done and set the right tone and feel for the time period. And there’s a powerful message about the power of storytelling. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark has its problems, but it’s entertaining and delivers a few chills.
