It's not just the clothes and hair, but the style of acting, the scripting approach, the structure, all hold true to their inspiration. The wondrous thing is how dead-on this tribute. But the '80s atmosphere - the dial phones, the chain smoking, Winona Ryder - are there to clue you in on the inspiration for this movie, which is pretty much every supernatural movie from the 80s with a focus on kids. There is no reason, in terms of story, for Stranger Things to take place in the '80s. The acting is also surprisingly good and overall the package is well worth seeing and will impress you. So why was the show so effective and why are so many folks eagerly awaiting more episodes? Well, the writing is terrific and the direction really keeps you on the edge of your seats. They know she's being hunted.but what does she have to do with the disappearance as well as folks seeing monsters?! Well, watch this paranoid show and you'll see. In the midst of this, a young girl, who is simply named '11' arrives in the town and is hidden by some middle school boys. But soon this sense of panic is felt by many in this small community. The show begins with a child being lost into another dimension and his mother is naturally out of her mind with worry. So what is this show? Well, in many ways it's like some Steven King novels (particularly "Firestarter"), the 1980s and "Gravity Falls" all mashed up into one really strange but fascinating show. At the time I am writing this, the eighth episode has been aired and the series appears over.or so you think until the very end. Despite having mostly no-name actors and a modest budget, this show turned out to be a hit and one that promises to bring us more episodes. After all, it's a made for Netflix series, so it's going to be cheap and suck.right?! Well, no.fortunately. "Stranger Things" is a very big surprise.
