Scrawl is a British horror film directed by Peter Hearn and released in 2015. The movie follows the story of Simon Goodman (Liam Hughes), a teenage boy who loves to draw in his sketchbook. One day, he finds an old and mysterious book from his neighbor, known as the "scribbler." As he starts drawing in it, his illustrations begin to come to life, and he soon realizes that he holds more power than he imagined.

Simon and his friends, Joe (Mark Forester Evans) and Nicky (Josephine Scandi), start having fun with the scribbler, but things quickly turn dark when Simon's drawings start to reflect his darkest fears and desires. The drawings come to life and start wreaking havoc in their small town, and Simon must find a way to undo the deadly curse before it's too late.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Scrawl is the way it blends different genres. At first glance, it might seem like a simple horror film, but it has elements of comedy, drama, and fantasy that make it stand out. The movie is also beautifully shot, with an eerie and atmospheric vibe that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.

The main characters are interesting and well-crafted, and the chemistry between them is fantastic. Liam Hughes does an excellent job as the protagonist, Simon, bringing to life the teenage angst and insecurities that make him relatable. Mark Forester Evans is also great as Joe, Simon's best friend, and comic relief.

Daisy Ridley, who would later become a household name as Rey in Star Wars, makes a brief appearance in the movie as Hannah, a mysterious girl who seems to know more about the scribbler than she lets on. Her performance is understated but effective, and it's clear that there was a star in the making.

Scrawl is not without its flaws, however. The pacing can be uneven at times, and some of the plot twists feel a bit contrived. The special effects, while impressive considering the movie's budget, can be a bit cheesy at times. That being said, the movie is entertaining and engaging, despite its flaws.

In conclusion, Scrawl is a unique and entertaining horror film that is sure to satisfy fans of the genre. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth a watch, especially for those who enjoy horror movies that blend different genres. The performances are great, the cinematography is impressive, and the story is engaging. If you're looking for a fun and creepy movie to watch on a dark, stormy night, Scrawl is a great choice.

Scrawl is a 2015 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 19 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.2.
