I just got out of the theater, I'll be honest I didn't like this much. I don't think I cared for any of the POV's besides Garner and Brolin. It also wasn't really scary

I enjoyed Barbarian more than this
You are correct. I didn’t care about the lil white cac or the cop or the Asian principal

Movie was mad overrated

I just felt sorry for the kid. Like there are kids in real life who's parents don't do shyt and they gotta take care of themselves and I thought that's what this was an allegory for.

This was ass and I'm horrified to think of what this bozo is gonna do to Resident Evil. :unimpressed:
i think resident evil is gonna be fine. this was a movie coping with the loss of trevor and dealing with an alcoholic parent. it just got hyped to the moon so anything less than was gonna be a dissapointment

their were zero ring cameras around alex house? this movie had so many flaws its not even funny

none of alex neighbors looked at their own cameras and see 17 kids run into their neighbors yard?
I'm surprised the weapons defense force isn't in here jumping on you. I told them the movie was a 6 at best and it was so much sums stuff going on it took me out of the movie. The spent more time in here fleshing out the plot and defending it than the director did :russ:

The movie is better if you either dont think too deeply about it or just view it simply as a Brothers Grimm TALE in modern's times. Not everything makes sense and nor is it suppose to.

I dont want to kill or hate on anybody's joy for the film. Cause it was still a good watch. But yea just view it as the little girl/narrator repeating a tale of something crazy that happened.

That should be rather straight forward so that should be solid.

Sinners might be the better movie by a hair, if only because of the epliogue/post credits scene.

But as a horror movie this is way better than sinners. the vampire parts were easily the weakest parts of that movie and we saw it 30 years ago.

but the horror parts of this movie will always stick wih me. from the kids running all weird or the possessed people runing after their target to aunt glady's hair stick and bell etc



The horror in this is.
It feels like this movie explains who snatched adam.
Or the guy who made america's most wanted. That rescued bizzy bone. As a child before we would cime to know of the thuggidh ruggish emcee from bone.
It pulls on the harp strings.
on america's past.
before the elimination of : children were to be seen and not heard.
Before america gave a damn about children.
Where america is regressing in the little progress.
it was supposed to make.
when i was child of the seventies and fully cognitive eighties.

Past that,....
This movie fits into those same style.
of off the beaten path side projects. sam raimi had in between elevating to marvel. post book of the evil dead trilogies. Plus one of the first really good comic book movies.
set in the real world aesthetics in darkman.
I guess the governing head critics who have the ad dollars. To pay to spam the ad dollars. For trying to respark horror as the most profitable genre in a failing hollywood. That is now to slow in reception.
to listen to old marketing from three decades ago. Now i guess the head marketing and pr guards to snoberity. Have given in to that which they usually just gave the prestigous horror awards to an international film. That is likely a better resourced film. Remake or extension of an american hitchcock film or concept.
that was better adopted over time in the international market.
than the very types of films domestic hollywood could have been doing. That sam raimi was already doing indy.

This shyt wild.
Now we are in an i told you so era. Where it seems to be a bit too little too late now. Hopefully when all of america is atlantic city new jersey.
These things can have a steady stream of high quality thriller meets gore spooky horror films to profit on. Later on down the line. Yet if this does not have a boom like box office draw. Will this be the last time. Hollywood blows up and fully abandons their most profitable model in horror.
To be stuck with no clear distinct genre.
that is the most profitable to draw money from.

I think a little girl narrating it scared as hell.
like elm street would make this even better.
Yet that would lower the artistic marks. That this movie supposedly draws upon. As it goes so long before.
you know how.
or why?
this is going on frfr.

It was good. The first part with Julie was the weakest and honestly I was getting bored, but it picked up after that.

Poor Alex. bytch ass aunt made him be a butler taking care of everything while she did her wickedness. When he used her stuff against her, at first I was :comeon:, but when the kids did their thing on her I was :salute:

Fuxk a prequel about this witch bytch. :pacspit:

But I’ll likely watch it. :francis:


It needs to explain this old hag.
Now if this shyt became some dragon realm dope shyt. With swords and heman future tech type world shyt.
to explain where she came from then. I would enjoy that tho. I doubt it goes that sam raimi out of this world. book of the evil dead three setting deep tho.

This guy did good enough in flatland idea of children chasing an ol hagm. This guy will be good for rrsident evil. Only thing hurting resident evil out the gate is. critics usually just hate on video game movies just because.
It is a video game ip made movie.
