This series is excellent.

The acting, the atmosphere and the directing. A thriller/mystery without paper thin characters.

But what blew me away was the homage to the late 70s, early 80s classics.

Somehow they took the best from Poltergeist, It, The Thing, Close Encounters & a lot of other cult classics and packaged it into an awesome 80s setting with a creative twist. Modern, and not too corny. I found it downright charming at times.

If you aren't a movie buff I think you'll enjoy it for what it is. If you are a movie buff, I think you'll find this series a treat!

Also, the kids and the Sheriff in this gives some amazing performances.

I don't really have too many gripes with this series. Don't expect a hack n' slash. It's a Thriller/mystery, and it's one of the best I've seen.

Recommended!
