Here’s what the teen audience had to say…

FINAL RATING: 7 out of 8 slices

Every PaaM night, we ask our teens to give us their honest reviews of the winning movie. We then select voices that capture the range of opinions and critiques. Read what Sophia, Melany, Milo and Dinanyeli had to say about Guillermo Del Toro getting spooky. 

Choose three words to describe the movie.

Sophia: Amazing, Jesus, making connections

Melany: Hilarious, scary, revolting

Milo: Gruesome, suspenseful, grungy

Dinanyeli: Impressive, interesting, scary

What was your favorite scene? Bonus: Why? **SPOILER ALERT!**

Sophia: “Oh no your papers fell” because it was horrible acting.

Melany: When the bugs were attacking the train car. It was suspenseful and most of the pieces started connecting. This was the climax.

Milo: When the son was captured as it perfectly symbolized the collapsing state of this world as to shatter the innocent worldview he had.

Dinanyeli: When Susan was sacrificing herself for Chuey’s well-being. This reminds me of Jesus because she cut herself as she did a sign of the cross like Jesus did.

Would you recommend this to a friend? Why or why not?

Sophia: Yes with our commentary because we were laughing and making connections. (P.S. RIP Leonard aka Jesus)

Melany: Yesss it was funny and kept me on the edge of my seat. The group was funny and respectful. It was a pleasure.

Milo: Yes; it effectively takes a gruesome take on a common trope of New York living.

Dinanyeli: I absolutely recommend this movie to a new friend because I think it is relatable to our society right now. Humans try to fix everything to maintain stability but usually make it worse like many dystopian novels.
