Shady Grove

Giving this one a very high rating for a number of reasons.

First of all - it is new and fresh and different! Such a clever take on so many horror movie tropes for something completely diverse.

Also, the acting wasn't too bad. These actors are all new to me and unlike so many of these types of movies, for the most part they were all quite good.

The main characters especially were very believable without being over the top or too contrived and they were relatable/likeable.

It wasn't until after I watched the movie that I saw that the lead actress is also one of the writers and I must say she's impressive. It's always a treat to find clever women making horror movies so that is a nice surprise.

Definitely a fun watch!
