Brolin wasn't too fucked up because he hadn't been under the mind control magic for long or been fed off like the parents and kids had.

>>214472363
the entire movie is a 2 hour WKUK sketch and zach trolled hollywood and everyone successfully. this movie is a comedy.

>>214472363
The film implies that the longer the witch's victims remains under her spell, the more profound & lasting the neurological damage. This checks: the parents are vegetables, the kids are 'just beginning to speak again', and Brolin was fine.

I agree about the cameras, but don't recall any inconsistency with magic that stood out to me. Overall I'd say this was kino.

Maggie.... I'll find you......

>>214472363
I believe the cops/feds came to the same conclusion that Brolin's character had with tracking the kids all running in the same direction and that it is feasible for their to cameras near the witch house, not everyone/street is going to have ring cameras. The feds did show up and search the place but the witch hid the kids in the woods when they did.

>>214472363

They seemed to hint that the longer you're under the spell, the more retarded you become. Which I guess makes sense.
>they should've set the movie in late 90s at least, because in the current year's surveillance state these kids would be on a thousand different cameras all the way from their homes to the witch house from 10 different angles
I guess there was the big section of woods next to her house? But actually yeah, that street leading to the door had heaps of houses.
>magic in inconsistant
The movie's logic tracked for me.

It was a nice update to witch folklore, I enjoyed it.

Yeah that didn't raise any alarm bells for anyone, shit film

>>214472363
>kids and parents remain in a half-comatose state but Josh Brolin is fine
they say some of the children managed to speak some words again, obviously meaning the longer you were mind controlled the more of your brain dies. the parents were the first to be controlled and they ended up being fed soup in a home

>>214474272
What the shit

>>214474032
Yeah, I figured it was a kinda last one in, first one out situation.

>>214472534
It was written and directed by a comedian. The comedy was intentional.

>>214472363
>kids and parents remain in a half-comatose state but Josh Brolin is fine
The parents were under the spell for over a month, the kids for a month, Josh Brolin was only under for like 5 minutes. Also the vvitch was siphoning energy from the parents and the kids, she was just controlling Josh Brolin.

>Pretty good, I liked it. A horror movie that doesn't try to be about depression or have some awkward "deep meaning" is a breath of fresh air. However, there are a few inconsistencies:

the second half = shit movie, which is what every horror movie is these days
its meta commentary on the industry and genre

>>214472363
OOOH UNDERTAKER

>>214477618
it's commentary. these characters live in a sick community.

>>214478230
exactly

I thought it was pretty fucking lame. The setup sounds great, kids all getting up and disappearing in the middle of the night, but it's ruined by having it happen in the first five minutes while a little girl narrator (dispelling what should be horrific for the adults/parents) gives you an exposition dump. I knew the film would disappoint from that point on.

I appreciate that the film doesn't follow a regular A-to-B narrative structure and is trying something different, but I don't think it made the film better. If anything, it was a contrivance that made the film worse, since it adds bloat; the slaggy alcoholic teacher, the useless cop, and the junkie should all be side characters in Josh Brolin's story rather than existing as primary characters. The narrative jumping also doesn't provide any interesting revelations, making it largely redundant in my view.

Then there's the clown villain. I guess I get what they were going for with her, but she's simply not scary, and her non-clown appearance isn't horrific enough to amplify the horror of her comic attempts to look normal. And why she appears on the ceiling and shit, I don't fucking know. I guess 'cause they needed scares of some kind (which were in short supply).

Anyway, rant over. I need something to eat. Thanks for reading my blog.

i just watched it like 5 minutes ago, this seems one of the most pointless movies ive ever watched, it has no real suspense or payoff.

>>214472534
you think a guy from a sketch comedy show was being funny unintentionally?

>>214472363
I just watched it. Amazing movie, perfect anount of silly and creepy. All these probably got answered but heres my take
>kids and parents remain in a half-comatose state but Josh Brolin is fine
The amount of time under the spell is probably important. They have been getting drained and in a low power mode for a month.
>they should've set the movie in late 90s at least, because in the current year's surveillance state these kids would be on a thousand different cameras all the way from their homes to the witch house from 10 different angles
Small towns arent surveillance states. Middle of the night you might pick stuff up but it looks like they traveled through the woods which would make it harder. A mild stretch at most.
>magic is inconsistent, but I guess it's a nitpicking
Im not sure where it was inconsistent

>>214472363
The scene when she's sleeping in her car and the mom comes out is excellent.

>>214472363
>but Josh Brolin is fine
Something special is going on with Josh in particular because he's the one who had the visionary dream with the gun and the time the kids all left. He has some level of psychic fortification happening there.

>>214481046
>tfw no drunk upside down mouth gf

>>214472363
It was good but it's a little overrated, I think just due to the fact that it's not facing a whole lot of competition. A movie like this coming out 20, even 10 years ago, wouldn't have close to the level of success this one did. It's like a light 7/10 or strong 6/10, but it's being talked about like a 8/10. It works well as a mystery/investigation story and the Rashomon structure is a good fit for that.
There are some inconsistencies as far as what you mentioned with the cameras and some other things anons mentioned itt, but I was willing to suspend my disbelief because the story was engaging.
>kids and parents remain in a half-comatose state but Josh Brolin is fine
As other anons have said, I also believe this is due to the length of the possession resulting in a longer after-effect.

Why are witches so powerful

>>214477566
>update
Bitch, sympathetic magic has been a thing since forever. People would burn their fingernails fearing witches and sorcerers would get a hold of them to use in spells and curses against you.

>>214481747
Because they're cunts and they dgaf so they engage in the most heinous acts, which makes them op. Essentially they're women but with actual supernatural powers instead of just social power.

I can't suspend my disbelief that the kids were at the house of the sole survivor and yet no one linked it. Sure they did their check but oh she somehow sends the kids running without them being seen s 2nd time. Too silly. Needed more tension. As usual brolin was great.

>>214472363
>>214474032
Ya the kids and parents had been awake that whole time so their minds are mush. Kids are able to recover over time because they have resilient kid brains. Makes sense to me

I just finished it. One of the best horror movies ever ever seen and one of the best movies overall I've seen in a few years at least. I love the reveal of the antagonist and how if you're familiar with this stuff at all you could identify what was happening pretty early. It was nice that they carried it all the way through instead of making it about psychosis or some dumb shit. Id give it a 9/10

>>214478568
>>214478577
I completely disagree. With her reveal and the secretary and principles reaction and then Alex's backstory you got a feel for just how evil she is. And the clown imagery is a good homage. Witchcraft and demonic possession go hand in hand. There are theories that say the nephilim had the appearance of what we know as clowns. And this all works together

It kinda sucked, but I liked it overall

>>214482422
thats pretty fuckin creepy, I didn't know that about the nephilim.
The movie had a lot of real world witch craft themes about it as well as the protagonists having prophetic dreams. It was kind of realistic in that approach.
Also it's really funny OP was saying he found some inconsistencies but didn't have any issue with the old woman doing a fucking marathon sprint near the end of the movie. Hilarious, but I also thought it was a 'feel good' scene.

They killed Trevor Moore for this.

>>214472363
>>kids and parents remain in a half-comatose state but Josh Brolin is fine
He was affected for 2 minutes, they were for over a month.

>>214472363
It was dumb as shit it took like a month for the guy to map where they were running based on the doorbell cam footage. That would be the first thing the police would do

Why is this movie called Weapons?

>>214472363
Brolin was in a trance for less than 15 mins, everyone else was under control for about a month or so. He likely wasn't brain damage as a result.

I agree with 90s stance, Ring is pretty common now a days and there were houses leading to the main one. I don't see the inconsistent magic though.

I do find the police work in this movie to be laughably bad but I could dismiss it as just a bad police force for that area. But they did cooperate with the FBI, but then again the FBI performance under the leadership of a Pajeet has been awful too so I guess it fits.

>>214481743
>It works well as a mystery/investigation story and the Rashomon structure is a good fit for that.
You don't know what a Rashomon structure is if you think it applies to this movie. Anyhow, there's barely mystery and what mystery there is is revealed halfway through the movie.

>>214472363
>they should've set the movie in late 90s at least, because in the current year's surveillance state these kids would be on a thousand different cameras all the way from their homes to the witch house from 10 different angles
Smaller rural towns aren't saturated with cameras either, but either approach would require more creativity than any of these current day hack writers possess.

I think it was boring, tried my best to not fall asleep.

Just watched the movie thanks to this thread, so not trying to bust your balls. It was entertaining right up until the last 45 seconds, where it just... Kinda.. Ended. I was hoping they'd at least show the other aunt as a Glinda the Good VVitch type figure
Tracking the perspective/narrative of each major character while still advancing the timeline was a near perfect format for this story
Wasn't really scary but was intriguing. I guess the bad aunt witch was trying to... Siphon the life force from the parents, then kids? I don't get why she needed to do it to her family though.

>>214472363
I didn't like that the teacher didn't die, that stupid bitch should have been one of the first to leave.

Maybe I am dumb, but how does anything that happens in the movie even hint at the topic of school shootings (except the giant gun with the clock and even that just seems like something the director put there for shits and giggles)?

Because the kids "disappear" and you see the effects it has on the town. The movie is literally called Weapons.

Listen, the guy might have called this film "An introduction to Keynisian principles based on the economic development of East South Asia in the 18th century" and it still would have nothing to do with economics, East South Asia or the 18th century.
If an author can't get his point across the audience isn't "bad" at watching his film, he was bad at making it

>>214485283
>Dude every movie in which kids dissapear is about school shootings
Nice strawman, but no. Every movie in which the title is called weapons, school kids disappear, and literal weapons appear in the sky, are about school shootings.

>>214485309
The weapon had fuckall to do with the rest of the film and neither had the title.
I admit, I am not an expert in school shootings like you seem to be but the author completely failed to get his message across.

>>214485341
Hey retard, I already agreed that the movie was shit and failed at it's message. I'm just telling you what it's about.

>>214485366
And I am telling you it has nothing to do with school shootings because what the writer thought his story is about has no fucking meaning when the audience doesn't get it unless they ask the author what the fuck he was on about.
Intent doesn't matter. Reception does.

>>214485397
Well I'm not the fucking writer am I? Take it up with him, I'm sure you can email him or something.

>>214472363
All these points are stupid nitpicks.

Josh Brolin was fine because he was only in a comatose state for about 5 minutes. The parents were in that state the longest so their brains were completely scrambled. The kids were in that state for a shorter amount of time and their brains were less developed so some of them were able to snap out of it.

Setting this movie in the 90s would force you to change the entire script because the entire plot revolving around Brolin's character involves the RING cameras. So it wouldn't work.

Not sure what part about the magic if inconsistent without any examples, but i also imagine you would've given one if you could, but you can't.

>>214485418
Judging from this film, any email I write him will probably be the best, most coherent thing he ever read in his sad life.
That being said, claiming the film was about school shootings is mental when nothing in the film conveys that in a way a sane person would understand

>>214485437
>when nothing in the film conveys that in a way a sane person would understand
I'm not trying to be rude, but please watch more films. There are an infinite amount of movies with subtler messages. Just because they go over audiences heads (or they fail to reach anyone) doesn't mean they don't exist.

>>214485468
>Just because they go over audiences heads (or they fail to reach anyone) doesn't mean they don't exist.
I beg to differ. Art (if you want to call this film by that word) lives with its reception. For better or worse, it's society that determines what it means.
Sure, that may change over time and the taste of the audience but I highly doubt that 15 years down the road, everyone will just praise this film for its great subtext.

An event of that magnitude would have attracted the worlds press and all manor of 3 letter agencies the world over. That town would have been subjected to all manor of scrutiny and investigation. The fact that the incident was basically shrugged off and everything returned to normal was the biggest plot hole.
And the attempt to create another 'clown' antagonist was franchise baiting.

Well you see, drawing straight lines on a map is difficult so only Josh Brolin could crack that idea and only Garner could realise that all the kids were running to the rough location where the one kid who didn't go missing lives.

stop asking questions, chud

>>214488766
It didn't bother me that Archer was freed from the spell when the witch died. It bothered me that Alex' parents and the children weren't. Why? It was the same magic and the same principle.

>>214488910
I think it's implied that because they were under the spell for longer, it will take them longer to come out of it. the le spooky girl narrator says something like "some of them even started to talk". so they will go back to normal, it will just take longer.

>>214488442
I'm getting a deja vu feeling with this ending scene. somehow I remember some other movie doing this same thing before... or it it just a mandela effect

>>214488966
I don't know. Also Alex should have looked for other branches and dropped them in a pot or bowl of water. (He had observed that that stops the spell earlier.)

Another thing bothered me at night. Why did Gladys do all that? She said she "might get better" if she locked all the children in the basement. But then she didn't look any better when she had done that.

Plus the principal's boyfriend was really stupid. The principal caught on to the weird vibes when Gladys was outside his door and didn't want to let her in. It was his gay boyfriend who said "nonsense" and brought her into the house. (And he died for his mistake.)
James was smarter. He ran when he saw Gladys. But he was dumb enough to return to the police station to "collect his $50,000 reward".

Anyway, I still think it was a good movie despite its inconsistencies.

Retarded speedwatching chud. The movie "Barbarian" is called "Barbarian" because it is set in a house on 467 Barbary Street or something like that. That means that the characters who live there are literal Barbarians.

I reckon that when you're messing with witchcraft, the balance is that people close to it feel the effects. Josh Brolin is a very grounded guy, so the symbolism shown to him is what he would understand. The witch is a gun, the puppets are her bullets. Kinda loose, and if you take away the dreams from the film nothing really changes...
>>214489611
You could make the argument that this is Josh's assumption of the situation, the missing kids are connected to this kind of violence, but this certainly isn't the message Cregger is trying to convey. The main themes are of abuse and addiction.
Still kino tho

>>214485228
I didn’t see the movie LMAO but in the end the kids use violence to save the day? Doesn’t that contradict the whole anti gun violence narrative that apparently this movie secretly has?

Josh Brolin being fine isnt an inconsistency at all. The explanation is pretty evidently that the longer the person remains under the spell that the more "lifeforce" or whatever is sucked out of them to the old bitch. Josh Brolin was only taken over for a few minutes so it makes sense that he wouldnt be as affected as the kids or the parents who were being fed upon for weeks. And the parents seem to be less able to recover than the kids since they were under for longer. You are a fucking retard fuck you you piece of shit

It was Josh Brolin's brain's interpretation of some weird magical psychic interference he was picking up on in his dream. The witch probably had the weaponisation of her thralls on her mind and Josh Brolin's brain interpreted that vaguely as a gun.

>>214490708
>Feels like a copout to just claim the movie was an allegory to school shootings.
It doesn't at all. I don't understand why anyone would connect this movie to school shootings other than them being completely brainwashed by media to always associated schools with guns.

>>214482765
>>214488856
gladys has some sort of mind control/manipulation aura. it's how she convinced the parents she was related and to stay at their house. and how the police/school bought the "dad had a stroke" story, and maybe even why the ching's husband let her in the house. I think this is reinforced with the astral projection scenes and she's able to fuck with justines, archers, and the druggies heads by appearing telepathically

All this shit is what we see on FOX or CNN after a school shooting. I don't think it's the main focus of the movie (compulsive behavior and addiction is the most apparent theme) and I refuse to believe Cregger didn't think of this stuff when putting it in the movie. It's retarded to call people retarded for connecting the imagery in this movie to school shootings

Cregger said he didn't write a lot of deliberate jokes in the movie and he's surprised people found the movie funny. Most apparent one he could think of was Brolin waking up from the dream. Which I thought was weird cause my theater was crying of laughter throughout the movie, even on parts that were supposed to be scary like the exorcist 3 door scene homage. The camera cuts were just so comedic, like this scene webm related, the parents don't actually look terrifying. I think other directors could do a better job at instilling you with dread in a scene like this but it comes off as funny.

I like WKUK and Zach as a person but this movie was a 5/10 at best.

The first half really didn’t mean anything at all. The mystery is very weak and the solution to the mystery is dumb. Not to mention if you’re just going to have a random guy stumble in on the answer there really isn’t anything to solve.
The entire reason you would follow the aftermath first is if you want to explore the impact the disappearance had on the town, but for the most part everybody just moved on. School’s still open, stores are open etc. The only difference is one or two characters are having a bad time, and that’s it.
Alex’s perspective was the most interesting and the whole movie should have been about that. It had some fun elements of anxiety that films like Mother thrive on, but it was so short because by that point rhe movie is half over. And then in the end it doesn’t even explore how the finale would affect Alex, after what he saw and did it’s effect on him should be the note to end on but it’s not.

All in all, if you cut out the mystery and told it linearly, this is just a Goosebumps plot for adults

>>214493846
Why would you kill the teacher in the front lawn of your entire operation. They took justines hair and waited until she was away from house to kill her. It was game over for gladys once the cop car showed up. Which is why I'm surprised she let the druggie escape

>>214493566

I watched it tonight and overall I liked it although it did stretch into the realm of the absurd in the last 20 minutes.
What was the AR15 in the sky all about? Seemed completely random.
Why were they having dreams about the witch? She wasn't targeting them and seemed to be trying to stay under the radar.
Would have been cool to get a bit more info on the witch, it seemed like she was probably really, really old.

>>214494622

>>214474070
The fight with the junkie was also pretty funny.

>>214483320
Okay, maybe not Rashomon because they don't contradict, but going over the same events and timeline from the perspective of a different character revealing new information every time, whatever that's called, I thought it was interesting. I'm not saying it's the greatest mystery story ever put on film, again, it's like a 6 or 7/10, but it kept me engaged past the halfway mark. It's really only the Alex chapter where it became less interesting to me and it's just tying up loose ends then devolves into action slapstick shlock, which I didn't think was funny or scary or worked that well. I guess it was an okay action scene is the best you could say about it, it wasn't a complete flatline.

>>214494622
>What was the AR15 in the sky all about? Seemed completely random.
I think it ties in with the film's title, and how the witch weaponizes people. The AR 15 turns into a clock showing 2:17 on it, the time the kids are "turned into weapons."

>>214494647
Honestly, it was a little similar to Longlegs. Invent a scary character and then write a story around that character but don't really put a lot of thought into it and just have them be ambiguously spooky.

>>214494808
When are the kids used weapons again? I must have forgotten.

Also didn’t the director say it didn’t mean anything. It was just added because he thought it was cool and each viewers head cannon for the scene was most important

>>214494808
I mean their main purpose seemed to be her sucking the life force out of them to make her young again.
It was a fun movie but I wouldn't say it was amazing.

>>214494901
>When are the kids used weapons again?
Well they end up being used as a weapon against the witch herself. But again, the dream part I saw as loose symbolism that nudged Josh Brolin into figuring out what was going on and looking further into it, so not completely literal.
>Also didn’t the director say it didn’t mean anything. It was just added because he thought it was cool and each viewers head cannon for the scene was most important
I don't know, I haven't really watched any of the promotional interviews. If so, why don't you link to it? If true, then it validates my head cannon if that was the purpose.

>>214494989
>I mean their main purpose seemed to be her sucking the life force out of them to make her young again.
Yes. I guess that could be loosely defined as weaponizing, she is using them as tools.
>It was a fun movie but I wouldn't say it was amazing.
Same. I thought it was a comfy watch, like an 80s or 90s horror movie, very high concept and well executed for what it is. Nothing too crazy, but a fun.

>>214495030
Well first, the kids were never used as weapons, there was no intent behind breaking the spell to weaponize the kids. It just sort of happened by accident.

>I don’t know. It’s a very important moment for me in this movie, and to be frank with you, I think what I love about it so much is that I don’t understand it. I have a few different ideas of what it might be there for, but I don’t have the right answer. I like the idea that everyone is probably going to have their own kind of interaction or their own relationship with that scene, whether they don’t give a shit about it and it’s boring, or whether they think it’s some sort of political statement, or whether they think it’s just cool. I don’t really care. It’s not up to me. I just like that it’s there.

If he's telling the truth and the funny parts were involuntary, then I don't think he can help it. I mean, I liked Barbarian but it's structured pretty much exactly as a long WKUK sketch. Must be second nature by now.

I'm sure the things intended to be jokes were probably the most subdued stuff like the seven hot dogs.

This is something I've thought about too. Best I can come up with is that the witch, despite having an agenda and a plan, cannot really help if her negative energy/aura/whatever seeps into her surroundings. Kinda like releasing a predator into a different ecosystem; it's gonna do predator shit because it's hard-coded into its own nature, it will disrupt the balance that already exists wherever it was let loose, and disruption is a pretty big theme in the movie I think.

Not everywhere is so heavily teched-up and surveilled like that. In a random neighborhood of a smaller city I'd expect, like in the movie, for some of the homes' doorbell cams catch the kids leaving and that there's not much else to work with.

Think about power. The best and most sure way to hold power over somebody is to love them and have them love you back, but it's 2 directional and you are as under their control as they are over you. A witch is a character who has taken the opposite route to the extreme, and just wants all the power without any vulnerability. The way she accomplishes that is through magic, but the caveat is that it's not actually her that has power over anybody or anything, its the magic, which as we see in the movie has no loyalty and can be used against her, unlike love. That's because the magic is just a weapon like any weapon. Imagine a person standing in front of you telling you to give them all your money, you'd just laugh at him and move on. Now imagine he's got a gun, suddenly there's power over you but its not from him, its the gun, and the second you can get the gun in your hands instead suddenly you're the one in control. The movie is all about the ways the witch controls others and how it gets turned against her, so they titled the movie after that.

Stupid movie

>>214491725
but at the start we saw more than two kids running out their front doors. none of them did a 180 and ran back through the house or backyard

horrible looking and uncomfy house

It doesn't matter because you see them turn towards when they got there anyways because they were on the sidewalk
So all he would know is they ran north/south/east/west on the grid

>they stop naruto-running at the end
Did they realize it looks retarded?

Is this even horror? It's more like a wacky thriller

>>214501939
when they left the house they were running straight towards it. thats what he based his straight line magic on

youre a retarded nigger

>>214502161
Look at the scene when they arrive at the house
They turn right on a corner
So no, they did not run straight towards it like they show on the map

>>214502190
youre nigger retarded anon. the point is that when they left the house they were headed straight towards it, it doesnt matter that they had to turn around houses and stuff later on. he mapped their trajectory from their initial course

>>214481389
his mind is in overdrive trying to figure shit out - if you've ever been through actual trauma you might experience something similar - he's working it over day and night, basically putting his whole life on hold being obsessive over the case so his dreams is him working every detail he knows into one weird trip - he's also staring at his kid's poster which has someone with a m16 or something on it from a video game each night he sleeps in his kid's bed but the kids being "missiles" to him might have been in his mind early on even if he doesn't mention it till later - apparently the director doesn't have a meaning for it but it makes sense in the context of the movie anyway - out of all the parents he's the one whose being driven to solve it

>>214499011
well put anon!
spot on

>>214502190
I noticed that too. Contradicted the drawing of the lines on the map. Sure the kids would have to move around small obstacles and such, but them running on the road when there was nothing preventing them from beelining it on the grass like was originally shown was odd

I get feelings like "guns and church bad" from the marketing material so I am not watching it.

maybe it helped hide their tracks in a round about way - my mom killed herself almost a decade ago and the police dogs that were searching for her lost her trail at the end of our block which opened up into a large parking lot - she ended up being not that much further away in a wooded area but the dogs were essentially useless beyond a certain point even if they started in the right direction - the kids running on the road leave less of a trace perhaps that stepping on grass which would deform a bit and perhaps keep a scent longer? not really sure if that was the intention but in a round about way of making a good movie shot it also might be a headcannon possibility

>Americans hate relatives living with them and call them 'parasites'

some of the kids ran through people's front yard. even if they all ran on the sidewalk it still wouldn't make sense.
they ran through multiple blocks on the sidewalk and road to get to the witch's house and ran past tens or hundred of properties and none of the houses had cameras that wouldve seen them running past? only the the houses the kids lived in had cameras and no one else in the entire neighborhood had one?

>>214502123
It suited Gladys personality, she either made them do it or it goes off emotions/personality. Alex controlled the kids out of desperation, so they ran after her in desperation. Dunno.

>>214472363
>>214502601

the part where gladys says she cane make the parents eat each other was pretty creepy and made me remember the end of between two fires

their media setup is awful
chairs and a couch with no way to put their feet up
tiny tv with no speakers in the corner of the den
they have to turn their heads 45 degrees to see the TV

>>214502526
It seems like you only hear the stories about relatives who move in and have awful hygene/criminal tendencies/weird hobbies
this is no doubt inspired by such stories

>>214502601
Gladys doesn't know or think about how a normal person moves but Alex does so his "weapons" behave more normally. Good theory.

It was an MK Ultra scene. It activated the Kirkinator's training and sent him on his mission.

this movie fucking sucked and was made for theatres, which at this point is an insult, the quality of this board has plummeted into the ground and you guys piss me off

the only thing relatively refreshing was the end, because kids killing humans so visually is a relative taboo, similar to kids being killed on screen, so yay high five pretentious director, feel free to pay yourself on the back

>>214502150
it is a disgrace to horror to even be classified as one

>>214479943

THIS BASICALLY!
Film is nothing new as far as witchcraft films go, but the setup makes it decent compared to the typical hollywood tropes

BAHAHAHAHAHA
She got killed by her own grandson who simply mimics' what he saw her do with 0 understanding for what may happen.

Witches and Warlocks are the lowest of the low in any and all actual powerscalling thats not some marvel movie bullshit.
Monkey tier shit thats only effective based on ignorance
Why do you think the boy was able to use her own shit against her after seeing what it does a few times?

Yeah it's kind of weird but watchable.
I don't understand the title, did it somehow relate to the dude seeing a giant rifle in the sky?
Or am I missing Something Artsy?

>the longer you're under the spell, the more retarded you become.
This is happening to me with age.

I followed it up with Together, now _that_ was fucking weird. Wasn't a complete waste of time, but if I'd known any more about it before hitting Play I'd have given it a miss.

Any recommendations for anything really good at the moment? Like The Departed good, seriously good, any genre.

only thing i didnt like is they revealed the witch character too early. it ruined the movies mystique

>>214472363
I only clicked on this thread because it looked like Paul Bearer in the thumbnail, but this movie sounds fucking dumb.

In a way brian killmeade is like the witch weaponising his viewers to kill hobos.

the exorcist 3 homage was the most tense part. Just a shot holding as a zombie with a knife shambles towards the car for a full minute straight.

>>214503668
I kind of liked that, because it let you figure out the mystery organically on your own instead of it being this reveal. By the time they show the kids in the basement you've probably already figured it out. Also I don't think the ending would have the same impact and be as satisfying if they had done it differently.

>>214503672
It’s good tho

this guy gets it (others are actually too retarded to read the clues, somethin something about chuds can't media literacy)

also
the name of the school is a clear nod to a specific elementary school
and "217" references to 2021 August 7th (21+(1+7)+7) which is the date Trevor Moore was killed (bc Trevor actually knew too much about why school shootings are strangely multiplying these past decade, this anon >>214503532 is not so far from the truth)
and don't forget to notice the color/images of the character's clothes etc
There's a couple of other subtle elements/patterns (Cregger is clearly a fan of Lynch and Kubrick)

Man that film was a fucking let down. After all the legal controversy I was expecting at least a half decent film to justify stealing a script (or accusing them of doing so).
That script was not worth stealing.

>>214503668
The plot kinda needed to move along at that point and it was a good reveal.

What a fantastic movie. I couldnt imagine a non depressed individual hating on this movie
