Finally got around to seeing this today. The trailer really got me creeped out in a way I haven't been in some time. And now that I've finally seen it... It was okay? I was expecting some kind of big eerie surreal mindfuck to happen to the kids and meanwhile the whole town goes to shit and descends into madness or something but instead it's just a couple people wonder what's going on and then all of a sudden a witch is responsible, because apparently witches exist in this world. I dunno, I guess I was just expecting something more vague and mysterious and creepy and not something so specific and goofy as "witch did it." That having been said, though, I will say that her comeuppance was amazing and well-earned.
Your fault for expecting any movie in the year of our lord 2025 to be anything above ok
>>215623381I didn't like it because it seemed like a lot of it was about this homeless crackhead and I was disgusted by it
>>215623410god you sound like a pussy
>>215623381You sound white af lol. Ignorant.
>>215623427I don't wanna watch a movie about a crackhead
>>215623433lel
I rather liked it. WItches are the new zombies.
She's a voodoo ladyand it makes me think of that songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KztNIg4cvE
>>215623409This. I'm sick of people praising this movie as outstanding, when it's mediocre at best. Completely predictable and generic story, full of cheap jump scares, and all the characters have to act as completely retarded so the "plot" can happen. We have really hit rock bottom if this is considered anything but a forgettable trash
>>215623381I liked the dream sequence because I'm not particularly impressed by blood and guts or jump scares. I like surreal, cerebral, existential horror where the creepiness and scares come from something less childish like reality not behaving as it should.I think that kind of thing is just smarter horror for smarter people, so the direction this went in the end was just a bit of a let dow....GAH! FUCK!!! I JUST REFRESHED THE PAGE AND THERE'S A SPOOPY SKELETON IN THE CORNER OF MY SCREEN.Jesus, that scared me shitless. Not funny man ...
I thoroughly liked this movie
>>215623680For me, it was the comfy setting, and slutty birdlike teacher
>>215623410the homeless crackhead POV was the best part of the movie
why did a gun appear in the sky with a digital clock
>>215623746Something about gun violence, which the director denies. It was bizarre, which added to the horror at least. Apparently 217 is a Kubrick reference or some shit.
>>215623746director said he saw it in a dream once and just thought it looked cool visually
>>215623746Because the title is 'Weapons' and it had to be alluded to or something.>>215623764>Apparently 217 is a Kubrick reference or some shit.That guy is so fucking overrated. I wish people would stop sucking that guy's dick.
>>215623655can't remember the name of it but I saw one not long ago about the word basically coming to an end and it was all in this bizarre nightmare scenario. I can't for the life of me think of the title or who was in it but it actually made me feel a sense of dread.ill try to google it
>>215623746best part of the moviemore horror needs way more surrealist shit like that
>>215623746I'm inclined to think the director was telling the truth when he said it's just some random shit he saw in a dream or something. People really overstate the supposed school shooting allegory the movie supposedly is.
>>215623786I think it was Take Shelter
>>215623736my favorite too. he's a total scumbag but he's still funny and you feel for him a little bit
>17 children dissapear>The director is a crypto-juggaloWhoop whoop, lil homie
>>215623798I think it is an allegory for the internet manipulating the minds of adults and especially children, and I refuse to elaborate.
>>215623842>Take ShelterCheers anon, I'll take a look.Actually I was thinking that one of the strengths of the Freddy Kruger films was it combined the surreal dream shit with blood and guts stuff, so neither audience would be bored by it.
>>215623381It’s funny because I also finally got around to watching it today and that was my exact thought. I feel like the writer had a good idea for what would be creepy and shocking (a whole class of kids going missing), but then had zero idea on how to deliver on it. So he the pulled that plot straight out of his ass and fed it to us
>>215623496>sick of people praising this movie as outstandingIt's just another in a long list of decent modern horror films. If you have seen a lot of these sort of time base event ones they all sort of play out the same way. A different genre than the dark night based stuff and oh a monster is out there etc. It's hard carried by the level of cast. It's well below Sinners as far as best horror film to come out this year but it was still a fun watch. Not every movie needs to be this 10/10 epic level feature.
>>215623746The father fell asleep in his kids bed staring at a war poster for a video game that had a dude with an AR on it.
>>215623842>>215623963Slow as all fuck, but comfy Zod so far.
>>215623842>>215625068Wasn't bad. But at the end when she gets dark rain on her doesn't that mean she's going to go nuts? Like it's already too late?Scene in the kitchen was creepy as fuck, just my kind of thing, and more effective the way it was done instead of the usual you'd expect.Also methinks a clever trick to make the child deaf so the child actor doesn't have any lines. If only some other directors had thought of that.Fireflies were a nice touch and music was comfy. So very clever low-budget production overall. Kind of a pity it didn't get more traction. Definitely deserves to be seen by creepy/comfy/budget-shrewd craftiness appreciators.I noted reviews saying that they were still thinking about it a week later, and that's probably just the power of those unanswered questions on their own if nothing else, but in a kinda good way.
>>215623655You'll like Skinamarink then
