The Saci-Pererê is a Brazilian folklore about a one-legged man who lives in the forest, and loves to play tricks on people. He uses his cap* (autocorrect) to disappear and reappear elsewhere, sets animals loose, steals kid's toys, etc. Not scary but it's what came to mind.
Was the first one any good? Might watch these back to back for fun.. but I don't have high hopes that they'll live up to any horror movie standards beyond cheap scares.
Would you rather they play hostage with the funding instead? The kids already have a lot of shit to deal with, cutting funding completely would hit the bad schools and the good ones.
I bet appearance is a 4, but taste is an 11/10
