Warning! Full SPOILERS follow for our review of Stranger Things Season 3, Episode 7, titled “The Bite.” For a refresher, be sure to check out our review of “E Pluribus Unum.”
The penultimate episode of Stranger Things Season 3 is a bloody affair with jaw-dropping battles, a scary new monster, and a surprising departure for one of our favorite new characters. The fight between the Mind Flayer’s host beast and the kids is a great showcase for how the series has improved on its use of special effects. The creature is really terrifying up close, making it difficult to tell where the practical and computer-generated effects come together. The show has had its share of spectacular set pieces this season, but watching the monster attack the kids from both inside and outside the house is a unique and suspenseful twist on previous battles.
