They Reach is fun, warm and sincere, and at the end of the day - in this appalling year especially - that feels like it is more than enough to mark it as a success.

It is a shame that the film seems so derivative, since aside from Dall and co-writer Bry Troyer's screenplay, there is rather a lot in They Reach to enjoy.

Rated: 6/10

They Reach offers slow build up and small jump scares. Too much music, not enough imagination, although the direction is adequate.

Rated: 2.5/5

There would be no movie without overt "borrowings" from Stephen King. That's not the worst idea. "No movie," I mean.

Rated: 1/4

One Guy's Opinion

Succeeds in achieving a retro feel, and has sporadic moments of innocent charm and mild excitement. Overall, though, it's a conscientious effort, not a keeper.

Rated: C-

The "quirkiness" was way over the top. The father daughter drama made no sense and was extremely forced and unnecessary. I was confused by the behavior of nearly every character but especially the father and the cops.

Incredibly charming, occasionally funny, often messy. Something went wrong with the plot progression midway through. Ends in a ball of fire. But a cute ball of fire.

Great fun throw-back 70s horror flick. Stranger Things, Goonies, ET references. Schwinn Stingrays abound in this shoe-string, jump scare, production. Good fun. The cold open scene really sets the tone.

For a "no budget" thriller they did a great job Imagine what this group could accomplish with an actual budget! I really liked that the lead was a girl who is smarter than the boys but doesn't try to hide it--In the 70's I was always told to "not let the boys know you are smart" BS. I didn't follow that rule and neither does Jessica! I loved the character of Cheddar so much and really am excited to see what this young cast does next.

A fun ride! Jump back to the 1970's for a classic friends to the end, good vs evil story led by a marvelous cast of young actors that save the day and possibly all of humanity.

86 % from fans on Rotten Tomatoes seriously, this movie is bad even for a multi genre 70/80s ripoff it’s really bad, I sat through 90min of horrible unfunny acting and repetitive kills for an ending that pissed me off back in the 80s trust me it ain’t nearly good enough to pull this Gremlins crap in 2020 please forget this and stream “Slither” instead in the end what happened happened no Efin do overs.
