I won’t lie and say that I didn’t feel the time but I only felt it bc it’s billed to be a horror movie and it’s not. Think of it as a personification of experience, you won’t be disappointed & the ending will be like 10x better.

Is this shyt super long?
didn't know what to expect, trailer didn't really show/tell anything..thought it was good.
with trailers it was almost 3 hours.
went to a 10:30ish showing, didn't get home until 1
that opening scene was 
with the murder suicide
that sacrifice scene was
, but I shouldn't be surprised given Hereditary.
All the rituals were interesting...when one of'em had the Mark mask though
christian's expressions were
when he found the pube or when he was fukking ol girl he looked confused as fukk and
at grandma helping push so he finishes

Yes. Absolutely.
Yeah this aint horror in the traditional sense to me unless we are going to redefine it. This isnt scary at all, its a visual experience but idk what Id classify it as.
...when old girl was crying in the beginning, i felt that shyt 
Breh!!! I just saw this movie tonight and I feel weird for some strange reason. This shyt fukked my head up. The second half of the movie I literally sat there thinking what the fukk am I watching? It's not scary in the "boo gotcha" type. It's a complete mind fukk. I like how you kinda went thru it with the characters. I had no idea what to expect the same as the people in the movie.Dude. People were laughing and just generally WTF at that part. I gasped when
that old lady put her hands on his ass to help him stroke.
It was a really strange movie. I came away from it mostly wondering what kind of demons Ari is wrestling with. This in many way is so close to Hereditary in terms of the themes with grief, sacrifice, and cult like behaviors. It just feels like he's working something out on screen. But it is a gorgeous movie. The pacing was a little off in places. I think they could have trimmed it a little. I think you're right, mainstream audiences are gonna hate this. I thought it was interesting, even the last 20 minutes. I do wonderwhy she was smiling at the end? Does that mean she was completely converted? Is it because she finally found a community that will grieve with her or another family now that hers is gone? I also think it's really messed up how that dude befriended these people for like a year or so just to bring them to his home community to be sacrificed. That's some fukked up shyt.
shyt made me feel dirty in a "something not right with the people that made this" way. Scary part is I liked it
Same here. I got the fukk outta there. any blonde hair blue eyes devil freaked me out. Walking out I kept asking what the fukk did I just watch? That wasnt a movie. More like a illuminati initiation. I need to go to church. a black church at that

At the End she became happy because imo she now had a family again. Prior we could see that that was a void for her due to her parents death, and then her BF being the only thing she had left, thus she tried to force things, and he would fake that he had empathy for her. If you notice towards the end during all the rituals the people were 'feeling' the same emotions as Dani and Christian which was kinda symbolic of the family 'bond'. Also remember the dude who lured them there when he was talking about how he knows how Dani felt initially but due to the way the community was set up he didn't ever feel that he didnt have a family even though his parents were gone.
The girl in front of me kept covering her dudes eyes. I should've covered mine when dude came running out if the barn
Yea i think youre right. Thats how i looked at it too.
A lot of people didn't like the pace but I thought it was nessary. Its a slow burn but it picked up when it needed to. I like the fact that we learned what was going on at the same time as the characters. There was no predicting what was next.
I had to see Spiderman right after to clear my head
