The North Effect

A fallacy in which one recalls a movie or TV show from childhood thinking it was amazing, but upon rewatching it is actually terrible.

Named after the 1994 movie “North”.

Adam experienced The North Effect when he rewatched “North” starring Elijah Wood. After rewatching it as an adult, Adam experienced severe disappointment after realizing the movie was in fact - fucking terrible.
