Summary:
A reboot of a chilling 90's TV show about a group of kids who call themselves the Midnight Society. They meet at midnight around a campfire in the woods to tell scary stories. The group is in for a surprise when a new girl, Racheal, is chosen to join. Her story about a haunted carnival ends up being true, drawing the Midnight Society together to fight the evil ringleader.
Personal opinion:
Overall I was disappointed with the mini series. When I first heard of the reboot, I was hoping for something more similar to the original with a modern twist. The original concept worked with creepy short stories told by a group of kids around a campfire.
The reboot however was centered more around one of the kids, the scare factor did not measure up and there was only one story told around the fire. The characters could have been a bit better (actor wise) and the MC seemed a bit dull compared to the others.
Quite frankly, I think they could have done a way better job with this.
