What people are saying
Updated nightlyMost people liked this one, even if nobody's calling it perfect. It's a classic Aussie summer horror setup, with three friends at a beach house and a prank that turns bloody. The look of the 1986 summer really pops, and the character Penny Lane herself gets singled out as a standout, but the director's choices split people and Sophia Wright-Mendelsohn's performance as Kat was divisive. Where it loses some is the pacing, which a vocal few found sluggish, and a handful of people felt the villains and the lead character were weak. Overall, it's a solid, good-looking genre flick with a clear fan-favorite in Penny Lane.
