Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting A Classic Horror Story isn't targeting a specific era or title in horror to pay tribute; it wants to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. It results in a bizarre, disjointed experience full of great imagery but confused story and messaging. Rated: 2/5 Jul 12, 2021 Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community A Classic Horror Story delivers a by-the-numbers setup that eventually becomes something more. Rated: 8.5/10 Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies We end up with a good-looking movie made with a hint of Hooper, a touch of Barker, even a dash of Shyamalan. But it borrows from/pays homage to A LOT of other films – so many that it’s hard to root out this movie’s own identity. Rated: 3/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Matt Hudson What I Watched Tonight Whilst never threatening to BE a classic horror story, this is nonetheless a solid and effective effort. Rated: 7.5/10 Jul 28, 2021 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an almost successful endeavor that just doesn't entirely work. Rated: 2/4 Jul 23, 2021 Full Review Katie Parker Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) An entirely serviceable, above-average attempt at something sort of interesting - but then, I suppose that wouldn't have made a very good title.

Ethan G "A Classic Horror Story" is a clichéd horror story. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Worst worst WORST horror movie I've ever seen in my life and not even exaggerating… do NOT watch this lol. The only good thing about the movie was it ending on my screen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Camila A Worst movie I've ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Jannik R The beginning was classic, like the title said. But after some time, and after the „major plot twist", it was just boring. No blood, no huge killings, just boring. But - the camerawork and the music is great. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review EL C al inicio la pelicula iba bien, tenia suspenso, buenos personajes, pero el final arruino la pelicula, ojala si hubiera sido la clasica historia de terror sin ese tema que la estaban grabando Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Justin T This looks beautiful. It was really nicely shot. In fact everything about the production was well done. The music, sound design, acting, effects, grading are all of a very high standard. Except I thought La Mamma was very wooden and awkward but they are only in the film briefly. The characters were engaging and the story interesting. So I was really enjoying it until the ending happened. The last twenty minutes were a real anticlimax. I didn't like how the story went, there were clues but it could have been different and kept the intrigue and horror if the first two acts but they went with a pretty disappointing ending. Shame but still worth watching for horror fans. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
