Would you consider Late Night better than Immaculate?

It's like someone wanted to give Succession a horror-makover. It's definitely a fun watch. Once things pick up it really spirals fast

For me yea. I really enjoyed the late night talk show setting. I used to watch a lot of late night talk shows and it was something new in a movie.
With Immaculate the reason why it isn't higher for me is because it felt like many movies I've seen before. Cecelia's pregnancy and motive behind it was like Rosemary's Baby. The plotting and her treatment by the senior nuns and clergy members was like Suspiria. The one suicide of jumping out the window was like the Omen.
I did enjoy the movie and liked the ending. I'm sure the movie is supposed to be about a woman's right to choose. That's a big NO in the Catholic faith which made it hit harder for me.
Even though LNwtD shared aspects with other movies, mainly The Exorcist, it felt more original. I also really enjoyed the acting from Jack Delroy, Lilly, and Carmichael Hunt. Sydney Sweeny did a good job and I respect her going with little or no make up when she's supposed to be a sex symbol.
Appreciate the insight. I loved LNwtD so I wanted to see if Immaculate topped it.
I’ve noticed that most of these social media reactions for films are usually sugar-coated and pandering to the distributors, but I actually caught one last night that deviated from such.
They compared Chapter One to something that would cater more towards the primetime CW crowd and that’s honestly the vibe I initially took away from the trailers. It looks glossy, nowhere near as raw and subtle as Bertino’s, and the killers come across as embracing the theatrics more than ever. It made me wonder if they are killing just because or “doing it for the gram”. If someone had told me it’s set in the same universe as MTV’s ‘My Super Psycho Sweet 16’, I would not be shocked.
I’ll check it out eventually though. I thought Bertino’s even got a little ridiculous at a certain point, but I was so enamored with the build-up that I let those silly moments go.
Am I filing this one under “Bad flick, but great for the memes”?
Definitely catching it on VOD. It looked bad, but batshyt silly too and I usually find a way to be entertained with those type of flicks. If I’m Batalon though, I’m knocking on Kevin Feige’s door and asking if they need me for the next Spidey. Hope he can find more projects because it is looking rough for him outside of that.
It’s wild because I really like that cast for the most part. Jeremy Allen White, Dan Stevens, Sheila Vand, and Allison Brie who will always get Community love.
But the screenplay had them moving mad despicable, no me.

One of the biggest flaws with how Chapter 1 is set up and where it completely falls apart in comparison with The Strangers is with the couple at the heart of the film.
In The Strangers, Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman were a couple barely hanging on in their relationship and that dynamic made things super fukking tense before the knock at the door even happened.
In Chapter 1, Madelaine Petsch and Froy Gutierrez by contrast were an exceedingly bland happy couple so there wasn't even any relationship tension to play with which these moribund proceedings desperately could've used.
One of the other big flaws is that you know exactly which citizens of the creepy dead end town Petsch and Gutierrez are stuck in are under the masks which removes all the mystique that The Man in the Mask, Dollface and Pin-Up Girl are supposed to have.
They have some balls to end strangers chapter 1
