I liked it

>>217422722
Had one or two good horror scenes, utterly failed at the "elevated horror" aspect.
And the attempts at humor were cringe.

Modern directors should know where their limits are.

decent but the way they ran took me out, goofy as hell fr

>>217422722
Should have been a Peele movie. Heard he fired someone for not getting this movie for him.

>>217422722
It felt more like a coen brothers crime caper type film than horror.

>>217422722
I feel like it might've been more "realistic" if it was a period piece, set in like the 60s maybe? I understand it's a silly movie about a witch, but man, you need to suspend a lot of disbelief to assume that not a single camera noticed the kids running into the house or that a small town where 30 kids disappeared wouldn't be SWARMING with FBI, news and all sorts of true-crime podcasters just 2 weeks or whatever after they disappeared

>>217422722
It's a metaphor for LGTB+ indoctrination in public schools.

>>217422722
The part where the gun floats in his dream is retarded.

Explain to me why Josh Brolin didn’t end up like a drooling vegetable like everyone else the witch controls.

>>217422722
It was mediocre throughout. It's probably the film whose reception has confused me most in recent memory because I found it so unremarkable it was hard to see where others were coming from when they said it was creepy, or fun, or anything. It was just dull.

>>217422917
Gandy wasn't lib-coded enough for that to fit

The uneven number of hotdogs irked me.

>>217422722
The ending was great. Instant classic

The duration of her control/leeching off her targets correlates with how fucked up they were

admiteddly I pretty much never watch horror movies so I don't know what makes a horror good or bad (any recommendations btw?)
I thought it was kinda cool in an unexpected way, especially how you see the story from multiple perspective at once all intertwined
like yeah there's plenty of asspulls but if you watch it just like that, a mystery/thriller movie with horror elements then it kinda works
the spook is not really that spooky but you could still kinda relate to it if you ever had someting/someone disappear on you

it especially reminded me of that movie where some dude was accused of molesting kids or something so the whole enraged NPC mob was making his life a living hell when he literally did nothing wrong to deserve it, which is just kinda what happened to the teacher here

>>217422928
It's corelated to duration of control, he was under it for like 5 minutes. Parents were for ages, so they're fucked, kids were for weeks, to it's bad, but possibly revertable.

That old lady was literally asking to be raped

>>217422722
The movie copied Antlers which made the main plot reveal a bit lame.
It was watchable and the running Mongolian dude had a cool spooky factor. Sicario man had some nice exposition searching for the killer which could have carried the movie harder if it spent more time on that aspect.
Its an alright movie if you need something horror-ish and have nothing actually good left to watch.

>>217422722
>This was kinda silly, wasn't it?
Quite, and I like that.

>What did /tv/ think of it?
Exceptionally entertaining, fresh, and the only gripe I have is that it has pacing issues, I think it maybe had too many individual arcs (but I wouldn't cut any of them out really).
I cherish every movie that makes me laugh out loud with a jumpscare and this film did it, among other things.

>>217422722
I didn't, because I never watched it, and don't plan to.

What is it with modern horror movies unable to deliver a good ending? Theres a trend now to either fall flat on its face or go for the joke ending. This and the Substance just had the most bullshit ending imaginable. ok substance was worse but still.

Agreed. Definitely felt like a goosebumps episode by the end

>>217423112
I dunno if I could physically disagree with you more, i thought the ending was fucking amazing.
But I do sort of agree on a lot of movies lacking good endings lately. I just don't see how this is one of them cuz the chase sequence is so funny and cathartic.

>>217423112
Jokey endings serve that exact purpose - pulling the audience out of the suspenseful mood. The alternative is either the movie just ends and is boring/unsatisfying or there's just a lingering crushing depression (this can also work in some cases).

I liked how Weapons did it, but there's definitely better executions to compare it to - e.g. Drag Me to Hell, The Descent

The Asian was a fat top he required more calories

>>217423004
She could have gained the psychic energy she needed from sex but no one gave her that option. The kids could have been saved.

Yeah, it looked pretty goofy.

>>217422926
Dreams usually make retard sense

>>217422722
its shit

>>217422722
It should've been 90-120 minutes. Modern filmmakers have no idea about pacing.

First half: 8/10
Second half: 4/10
Total score 6/10

It's good. It's a little too shallow to be great, but I liked the imagery, the characters, and the structure well enough.

>>217422722
>Weapons
>No weapons or weaponized kids
The jewess was hot as always, but it was shit.

>>217422722
Really good, but not even remotely scary outside of like two short scenes. I went in blind expecting a horror movie, but left with an entertaining dark comedy

>>217422722
why did u do it zach?

Barbarian was objectively better

>>217422722
I didn’t hate it. Hopefully a sign of things to come for modern horror where the story and pacing don’t get dragged down by an inordinate amount of dumb character drama like a lot of trauma horror flicks from the past decade.

I hate modern movies, but weapons was really good. Adhd riddled james wan fans big mad

I thought it was a comfy small town, classic american horror

>>217422722
its a movie length wkyk skit it has the setup timing and payoff if u liked them u like this too prob

>>217422825
>And the attempts at humor were cringe.
I thought the chase scene with the old bitch and all the kids was funny and a satisfying ending.

>>217424543
I love wkuk but i thought this movie was just okay

>>217422722
It fell flat on its face. Also, it was unrealistic that no one should investigate the family of the ONE child who didn't disappear.

>>217422722
A movie so dumb I felt like I lost intelligence after having seen it.

>>217422942
How many hotdogs do you eat a day?

It was good up until the grandma showed up. Like really? Youre supposed to be scared of some eccentric grandma?

Is the teacher supposed to be, in the context of the movie
>ugly
>cute in a dork way
>sexo

Woke anti gun propaganda

not even top 5 horror of 2025

Let down by the last half. You are expecting some profound answer to the mystery and it's just some goofy granny all along.

I didn't like the pulp fiction esque time jumps
