This movie is fun. Is it scary? Not really. The opening was pretty scary, but the rest of it not so much.
This movie is absolutely "for the fans." There are Easter eggs and references galore, and the movie will probably be confusing for those who aren't familiar with the games.
As a fan, this is a super fun film that us fans have been anticipating for many years. It's exactly what you'd want out of it. It's not the best movie, but it's fun, has great visuals, good music, great directing, great Easter eggs, great cast, etc.
If you're a fan, you'll heavily enjoy this movie. It’s exactly we wanted and is a surprisingly well-done movie considering the small budget.
If you don't know the franchise though, this might not be up your alley.
My fan review: great fun and directing, but still has flaws. 4/5 stars.
