So I finished this movie a couple days back. I was not finna spend good money at the theater.

I watched a couple of explainers of this video.

And strangely enough, my algo started showing me stuff for Eyes Wide Shut.

I didn't put anything together to be honest, but once you watch a regular review of EWS, you start getting the conspiracy reviews for EWS. It doesn't help that y'all got me hooked on that Chinese Professor teaching the "secret history of the world".

So EWS is "about" some typical Illuminati, "global finance", "the elite"....and Hollywood is how they indoctrinate stars to keep "we" the masses under control.

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Anyway - Holly Wood - Holly Trees - Holly Branches - Witches Wands

It puts a whole other spin on the movie, imo.

Was that intentional? I don't see it in the mainstream reviews at all

Knew nothing about this movie going in, literally just hit play on HBO Max. Now seeing its part of the barbarian universe makes the goofy break in tone make sense. I liked it better than barbarian, but it left me feeling sad knowing that most them kids and Alex’s parents’ minds are are flayed :(


Ozark chick still has the juice
Just wait till you her as Madonna

6/10. This is another of Longlegs, in that both are overhyped & relied on marketting to push false hype. The cinematogtaphy was great but that's about the only positives I can give. The movie didn't know if it wanted to be horror - thriller, sci-fi, supernatural & by the time it decides, its execution is poor. Aside from motivation - need to feed to survive - absolutely fukk all about the villain made sense. Are they real relations, what made them return now, was she going to leave the kids, how does her spell break work, claimed the father suffered a stroke but what about the mom, how did the families reconcile the kids murder. I love horrors and this did fukk all for me as we know they why not the how. Edit - Longlegs > Weapons.
Man, pls, I fell asleep like 2 times watching that long legs garbage. Weapons was entertaining from beginning to end

Watched tonight. Enjoyable, but way too hard to suspend disbelief at the incompetence of law enforcement and media. This takes place in modern times and 17 kids going missing is feds and media on every corner. That surviving kid's house would have news vans parked outside 24/7.
I initially thought it was some kind of alien or biological thing taking control of the kids rather than old school witchcraft
Not only that, what about when aunt Gladys had the kids leave when the cops were searching the house? None of the neighbors saw 17 kids leave? As nosy as white people are?

Just saw this (I know I'm late), it was alright, no way is it better than Sinners.
