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.

Fiction Machine

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

Horror violence, cursing in Stranger Things wannabe.

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-

So visually and tonally engaging that both the film's flaws and derivations fall away.

This movie looks as though it was made by a first-time director and with inexperienced cast members. The acting, dialogue and some of the camerawork is just amateurish. That said, it does look as though the makers tried hard to make a good movie. Overall it isn't bad. There are some enjoyable scenes and the 3 young characters are likable.

Admittedly I didn't watch all the way through. Lots of effort put into cinematography and lighting, not quite as much as effort put into acting and script. With better directing these actors are probably capable of delivering better results. But as it was I wasn't drawn into the world for a minute.

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.
