Peter Cote, Selina Flanscha, and Steve Haymire in Where the Scary Things Are (2022)
The horror begins as Ayla and her high school friends discover a hideous, semi-human mutant. They keep it prisoner while shooting repulsive viral videos, with the gang's hunger for "likes" driving them to film the beast performing murderous acts. When one boy sees that Ayla is using the monster's gruesome violence to settle her own vendettas, he threatens to tell the authorities - but is he too late to save his friends?

      A number of standout lines from 80s teen comedies are parodied deep in the dialogue making for verbal Easter eggs in this film. Listen for them.

    I liked it
    Ok, it's not a big budget production. ButI really liked it. The acting is good. The real monster is the lead female. Every one of the boys in their crew is both afraid of and in love with her. She is both vicious and seductive.

    The kids are all great examples of different personalities.

    I felt this is a unique story with great foreshadowing. I don't want to say this is predictable--the plot progresses as I thought it would.

    The ending is sad though appropriate.

    I usually won't watch any movies below a 6.0. The reviews are way below my experience. I even watched it with my kids and my little boy hated the female protagonist (if I can call her that...) which means the actress did a great job to illicit that response.
