"Scare me" tries to be many things at the same time - a "Twilight Zone" episode, a teenager slasher movie, an anticipation horror and unfortunately goes far from hitting the mark. Some of the horror and slasher movie convention tropes (which, by this point have become memes ) are subverted and some aren't. The trouble is with the plot which can't decide what exactly it wants to be and by the decision point, it gets hit with a big wooden piece of dream logic straight on its barely-coherent head. Dream logic works fine in the Twilight Zone or a claustrophobic survival or loneliness-focused horror, and doesn't work well at all in all the other genres that the directors tried to put in there. Add some overacting and stereotype-jumping on the part of the main protagonists, as well as on the part of the mini-stories ones and we have this movie. Not bad, not terrible, not memeable. 5.3 roentgen out of 10 cabins in the woods.

This movie should have been listed as a horror comedy, although it was lacking in both.

I've spent my entire life wanting somebody to tell scary stories with me by a fireplace during a power outage with pizza, beer, and cocaine. This movie made it happen and for that I am forever in its debt. The actors are perfect, the sound effects had an old-timey radio days feel to them (which I loved), and the whole little red riding hood game within a game was creepy af,just like in real life. Everyone who did the work making this film happen should be proud of themselves, and I wanna congratulate the actor/director/writer on his courage to subvert expectations. Keep it up, I guess. And hey, the Guardian liked it.

Horror is my favorite genre, but I swear only one out of every hundred films is watchable, and one out of every thousand are good. The rest are evenly split between movies that are so bad you turn them off after five minutes, or movies that are actually on track to be great... then end so terribly it ruins the entire film, and leaves you more angry than anything.. This movie is definitely a prime example of that last horror movie type. Aya Cash puts in a stellar performance... really, just top notch... but it can't save this movie. The first 90% of the film it feels like it's building to something, for sure; has its own tempo, its own style. Kinda goofy, but laced through with just enough seriousness you feel there will be some sort of supernatural twist in the end. (Now that I think about it, it felt like a really long episode of Tales From The Crypt or Tales From The Darkside). I don't want to spoil the ending, but the finale is such a complete tone shift it feels like it was added by a different director and crew entirely. And the tropes they lean on for the finale aren't entertaining, aren't funny, and are not he kind of scares you've been primed to expect for the hour-and-a-half leading up to it (or you would have expected going into the film). It's just so...bad. Honestly, if it weren't for Aya Cash's performance, this would have ranked a one or two stars, at best. If the ending had just been more in line with the tone of the movie, it could have been an eight or a nine. But really, don't bother with this one, or if you're too big a fan of Aya Cash at least go into it prepared for an unsatisfying ending.

This was a great little horror and part comedy at times and when you are sitting at home on lock in it makes it a 10. Acting was good, gore was good, story kept you entertained. I went in thinking B movie crap but it actually turned out pretty well and if you like horror a def watch

This is a movie about storytelling. Not a horror movie as much as a movie about telling a scary story. I found it pretty brilliant and funny. Like a lesson in the craft of telling a good story. It has an improv vibe and does a lot with one location and for the most part, two actors. Chris Redd is not in it as much as I would like but his appearance is a lot of fun. Worth watching, but not what you expect.

This was a really pleasant surprise. A horror comedy that had me grinning from ear to ear until I was legit creeped out. It's just about people trying to scare each other with scary stories in a cabin but the writing, acting and visual tricks from a writer/director/actor who absolutely knows their horror movies make this a really good time.

I dont know who paid for the 10 out of 10 stars, but they must have paid alot. Please dont waste your time. Find something else or you'll never get that 1 1/2 hour of your life back.

I didn't know what to expect going in, but it was really fun and weird!
