Stephanie 2018: Review

Blumhouse Production is a Machine 

The movie Stephanie has been on my watch list in the horror section on my Netflix account. Reading the synapse I was intrigued because Blumhouse Productions produced it and anything they getting their production fingers on is worth a shot. Seriously, everything has been entertaining they've produced. Just ask Halloween Horror Nights, which has a maze dedicated to them 'The Horrors of BlumHouse Returns' (ask Jason Blum the CEO and master behind the curtain). This movie is no exception, it has the star little girl: Stephanie starring Shree Crooks as the girl, and the director is: Akiva Goldsman. Goldsman is known for screenplays like--  Batman Forever, Batman & Robin and others. 

The Power is in The House

It's been said before a house in a movie can be considered a character and make no mistake about it the house is the stage for the whole movie. All the scenes take place at or near the house which Stephanie lives in. It's a nice modeled family home, looks new and you can smell the freshly coated pastel paint from just looking at it. In the beginning the movie is like watching Kevin Macallister from Home Alone. Only instead of pizza and ice cream she eats preserved jams like orange marmalade or something else in a jar. Pretty strange but I went with it. 

The Monster and Mayhem

Eventually we learn she's not alone or maybe something else is going on because she has no family and is all alone in her house. Where are the neighbors you're wondering? The twist is she's the monster-- oops just spoiled it. Seeing little girls take over the world was similar to Children of the Corns screenplay.  Hey she can blame it on possension or bad jam. If my mom and dad left me home alone with nothing but preserves I'd kill them too. Parents aside Stephanie was great because lots of elements went into making it so (the house, production studio, and the star child) -- like what a phenominal job she did acting as a little girl with special powers. And you can watch it on Netflix for your viewing pleasure preferably with popcorn.
