      Tom Jorgensen IGN Movies Its story is incomprehensible, it isn't scary at all, and the acting is wall-to-wall bad. Rated: 2/10 Jun 28, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. It feels like a student made production with more technical errors than you can count. Do yourself a favor and skip it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/21 Full Review Audience Member Daisy Ridley performance is great Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review antonis k Daisy Ridley shines in an incoherent mess of an indie horror film. (2/10) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The story is a very complex mashup of supernatural adventurism, contemporary horror, and modern folktale. Keep the official synopsis handy for reference because the complexity is elusive on screen. For most of the first half it is hard to decipher what the film is about, too many cut-aways and overlapping plot points really muddy things. There is some bare bones of creativity and intrigue in Hearns concept. Outcast kids trying to find their place in a social clique, a supernatural book that can bring imagination to life and a coming-of-age battle against evil. All things done to death, but "Scrawl" mashes these tropes in a truly millennial fashion. A troubled kid obsessed with comics unwittingly unleashes evil in his community. Beyond that very basic understanding of the plot, not much is comprehensive with this film. The structure is broken and jumbled. There is no real cohesion to the story arc. And things happen in a slow, aimless pace that is slightly boring. There are plenty of moments with decent horror and bloodsplatter. Unfortunately it happens with the same non-existent affection as the bland dialog and snarkiness. Check the movie out if you want to see how Ridley got her start in a bad-and soon to be cult-student film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
