    Wow glad I stumbled across this thread...great series.

    People were comparing to past films...it reminds me a little of Drive and It Follows with the heavily stylized aspects combined with a real story.

    Actually I think JJ Abrams made a movie that was similar to this (with more lens flare and action sequence)...also about a group of kids in the early 80s, had a monster and was sort of a tribute to Spielberg. But was not nearly as effective as this series.

    I like the idea of something that is such an obvious homage but also takes itself completely seriously and has good storytelling, acting etc.
