A night of unimaginable terror awaits twelve-year-old, Bobby, and his best friend, Kevin, when they are abducted on their way home from school. Managing to escape his confines, Bobby navigates the dark halls, praying his presence goes unnoticed as he avoids his captor at every turn. Even worse is the arrival of another deranged stranger, whose mysterious arrangement with the kidnapper may spell certain doom for Kevin. With no means of calling for help and miles of dark country in every direction, Bobby approaches a difficult crossroad: take his chances in the fields, or find a means to free his friend. Unable to leave Kevin behind, Bobby embarks on a rescue mission, determined to get them both out alive… or die trying.
前半部的操作还有点合理，后面越来越智商捉鸡，剧本痕迹严重，白亏了黑人小男孩的演技
2男孩遭莫名其妙的绑架，如何逃脱和相互的拯救。
小黑太义气了，两个小孩演技很好，就是剧本处处bug！
首作便已经非常简洁自信，没有任何多余的信息，导演也敢于直视被《怪奇物语》们所无视的残忍，完全从孩子的视角出发，孩童的纯洁友谊抵挡黑暗，也支撑整个“童年阴影”故事的成立。比后来的《魔灵》整体性更强，不那么像破碎的桥段练习合集，但更多的场景，更密集的情节内容导致后三分之一在重复地刺激下显得力度有些不足。
最不喜欢的就是这种黑不溜秋的恐怖片。
