Very similar to Longlegs - trailer was perfectly cut to make a pile of slop look like a deeply intriguing horror movie. Critics rate it much higher than the audience. Most people somehow don’t realize the universe of film criticism was totally gutted years ago, and the algorithms were long ago manipulated to count mid reviews as “fresh.” There are barely any full time salaried film critics in America at this point; if you catch a part time or freelance gig to review a movie, it’s in your best interest not to be too harsh, because you have no job security. That’s why you have this culture of boosterism in place of criticism. It has even trickled down to consumers, many of whom now instinctually speak and think like people paid to promote the film they just watched rather than paying customers with a right to demand better from the market. Super wild to watch it play out. We are never talking about the Godfather or any movie near that level, but cats will be enthusiastically be like “this one was a 12/10 breh”
:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

nikka, Raging Bull and City of God must be 34/10. To paraphrase Shawty Lo: it must be two 10s!

This isn’t even one of the best 100 horror movies I’ve seen. I’d take a kinda-sorta good joint like 30 Days of Night over this Sprinting Dead Dirk Diggler snooze fest with those pedestrian ass video game kill camera rotations.

Straight dumpster fodder.
