Underwhelming Stories to Tell in the Dark
After watching this two and a half times, I think this is going to perpetually fall into the category of movies I don't particularly like but I appreciate what it's trying to do. Scary Stories feels like it's trying to be a horror movie for a younger audience and that's a market that feels like it's always been underdeveloped and mismanaged. Every now and then a movie comes out to try and scare the bejesus out of kids but usually they default to quirky and fun with gothic overtones.
So, while I don't personally enjoy the gross out horror and the sometimes cheesy effects, I think they are perfect for the target audience. Still, before showing this to kids it may be wise to watch it first and make sure it's right for them but if you're looking for some family friendly scares, this probably fits the bill.
