Trivia

When the boys are in the clubhouse talking about Nikki, Tommy is seen drinking a bottle of MacReady's Whiskey. This is a nod to The Thing (1982) where Kurt Russell's character, R.J. MacReady, drinks J&B Scotch Whiskey at different points in the movie.

Fun movie

Not a horror movie. Thats the problem here. They call it horror and we go in expecting horror. Its a suspense/drama with a splash of horror at the end.

I thought the film was great though. I can look past the mistake of labeling it a horror movie. Its got the 80s nostalgic vibe going to a T. The ending was great. Ill only say i wish they went a littke further than they did. Otherwise a fun film for those who dont expect every movie to be a masterpiece.
