DEAR DAVID (2023, Lionsgate) Tonally Off Kilter Yet Refreshingly Entertaining and Spooky

The Grue-Crew review DEAR DAVID (2023, Lionsgate) on Gruesome Magazine episode 476. Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era, Crystal Cleveland, the Livin6Dead6irl from Decades of Horror: 1980s, award-winning filmmaker Christopher G. Moore, lead news writer Dave Dreher, and Doc Rotten share their thoughts about this week’s frightening addition to streaming horror films. Warning: possible spoilers after the initial impressions! DEAR DAVID (2023, Lionsgate) Synopsis: Shortly after comic artist Adam (Augustus Prew) responds to Internet trolls, he begins experiencing sleep paralysis — while an empty rocking chair moves in the corner of his apartment. As he chronicles increasingly malevolent occurrences in a series of tweets, Adam begins to believe he is being haunted by the ghost of a dead child named David. Encouraged by his boss to continue the “Dear David” thread, Adam starts to lose his grip on what is online…and what is real.
