This was kind of dumb.
>>222137134cheese rosemary’s baby wannabe with utter horseshit concepts that don’t pertain to anything remotely realistic in magical orders or mediumship. an unintentional comedy but with some good acting. totally implausible in every way. amateur script. then he ripped off the wicker man and repeated the same bad scripting and lack of believable circumstances
its 100% a comedy
it turned into a comedy in the last five minutes with the hippie nudists and the guy jumping out a window
>>222137225>anything remotely realistic in magical ordersAin't this one of those oxymorons?
>>222137225y u so mad bruh?i though it was kino
>>222137225This. Aster is a hack
>>222137263it was a comedy all the way through
>>222137134Why that little green nigga bowing his head and on his knees?
This movie reminded me of my mom.
>>222137225It’s a cringe IM ACTING movie what do you mean good acting
>>222137268no, there are real magical orders abd real mediumship and this dude didn’t do proper research and made a goofy movie>>222137283disappointed because it had potential and inspired good performances, clearly not a bad director but the script was not given the right treatment
>>222137354>real magical orders abd real mediumshipAh, a denizen of Planet Retard.
>>222137352*some* good performances meaning not everybody was terrible which is a step above most horror
>>222137354So does A Dark Song (2016) get a pass by your standards?
>>222137373are you so stupid and lacking in knowledge that you don’t know that people create cults which are called magical orders and people operate in the world as mediums and have a set of behaviors, whether you think they’re crazy or liars or not is irrelevant, they exist. this movie gave an unrealistic portrayal. i did not say either magic or mediumship is real but these concepts exist. the movie did not represent it realistically at all, it just guessed and was hokey
>>222137449Lmao.
>>222137424a dark song is vastly more accuratein rhe first two thirds at portraying an occult magician instructing ritual ceremony that crowley did. then it opts for fantasy horror nonsense at the end but at least the intention was correct, and it was clearly trying to get on the map as a genre film and entertain. the depiction of archangel michael at the end being cathartic abd positive for the lead recovered from the horror nonsense somewhat. much better film than hereditary
>>222137510you are absolutely naive and immature. people pay mediums every day, they hold events for thousands, go on tv, have reality shows. you can say it’s fake but there is a definite set of behavior and rules they follow. magical orders exist the same as do cults. are you so fucking dumb you think there are no cults today? do you not comprehend there are students of magic around the globe? it’s called an order or sect when they group. you are a fucking baby
>>222137225>cheese rosemary’s baby wannabeNPC critique>concepts that don’t pertain to anything remotely realistic in magical orders or mediumshipWho fucking cares? It's a made up cult in the movie>an unintentional comedyHis first short film before Hereditary was about a black son raping his dad for years and years. That was a black comedy in the same vein as Hereditary... It's funny to see an autistic fart huffer miss comedic moments and call it "SO BAD IT'S AN UNINTENDED COMEDY"
>>222137134The ending sucked
>>222137808Relax, the jew director is painfully mid
>>222137808calling something an npc critique is utterly meaningless. made-up cult for the movie doesn’t mean it can redefine what mediumship and magic orders are just for fun, unless you’re saying it’s all meant to be unrealistic but if so then where is the drama and consequences? it’s clearly intending to be seen as realistic and not fantasy, yet it disregards all the true knowledge, even the easy surface stuff, and replaces it with sheer nonsense. that’s disqualifying. i didn’t miss the intended comedy. what is comedy to me is the silly made-up mediumship. i understand the black comedy and tone of the movie, and i don’t think horror can never be funny. you’re arguing something i didn’t say die to me not clarifying. you can still love this movie, i’m just giving my opinion. i was disappointed because i could sense the talent yet the scripting did not approach plausibility in selling the occult aspects at all. i am allowed to have a higher standard for horror. the new generation is lazy in how they write this because they don’t study enough
>>222137589>>222137968You need to lay off the adderall, brainlet.
>>222137134>"Peter? You are Paimon now. Paimon, the demon we've been mentioning the whole movie. That's you. Paimon, you, has possessed Peter, so you are now Peter Paimon. Previously Paimon, still you, had possessed your retarded sister Charlie. She was Charlie Paimon. You were Charlie Paimon. But in a way, you were always Paimon. Now you're in Peter, Paimon. Do you understand? You are Paimon. We are your cult. The cult of Paimon. We worship you. You are Paimon."Why did they overexplain everything like this? Do modern audiences really need things laid out this way? Wasn't it a bit on the nose?
>>222137991i don’t take adderall. i don’t drink coffee. i’m not autistic. you have no argument. you’re just upset because someone has a legit criticism of a movie you love and you can’t counter it with anything substantive
>>222137134>>222137225>>222137261>>222137263>>222137352>>222137305Name one scarier movie.
>>222138408the woman in black (1989) zero cheese. unending dread and absolute terror in the climax. unequaled to this day
>>222138408
>>222138256Notice how you can't even stick to one posting style? So not only is it adderall with you, it's also a clear identity crisis. You're like a beacon of mediocrity, lmao.
>>222138076Aster thought he could trick the surface level moviegoing audience with his "eight kings of hell" and it worked.
>>222138505absent from you is any actual argument. i don’t have a posting style, you fucking loser faggot. get over yourself. it’s goddamn 4chan, i don’t owe you consistency. i’ll say what the fuck i want. i was attempting to be sincere but you are an obnoxious weasel and a prick. i don’t do drugs of any kind. you apparently need this lame smear to justify your lack of any form of argument against my critique of your precious horror movie
>>222138622Lmao, you fucking faggot.
>>222138674still no argument. you can’t properly defend hereditary’s lazy script
>>222137449I grew up in Salem, Mass. I knew more witches, warlocks, mediums and magikers than you could possibly imagine. It's all bullshit. Even the Golden Bough, which Crowley based much of his Magikal systems on, turns out to be largely fictional depictions of ancient ritual practices and religion made up from the imagination of JG Frazer. So, no U.I'll give you this though, you do convey the same unwarranted arrogance and condescension as those charlatans from my youth.
>>222138805And to more directly address the substance of your post, no, there are no set "behaviors and rules". It's a-la-carte. Take a bit from here, put together something from there, fill in the blanks as you wish, no one is checking. And are you trying to say CULTS are internally consistent in their practices? Lmao.
>>222137134Sex-haver hereIt was a good movie
>>222137134She made me realize I'm into gilfs
>>222138805>I GREW UP IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO I'M GANGSTA I BEEN IN THEM TRENCHES
This shit was beyond boring to watch. I felt incredibly let down at the end finding out it's just le cult slop like every a 24 movie made today. Also this is every women's scariest movie they ever seen.
>>222138856nta but he was right that mediums have nomenclature and ‘rules’ that are across the board after decades hearing each other on tv, and this movie ignores that and inserts pure hocus pocus
>>222137134The strange thing about the Johnsons was his true masterpiece. Who din dins here?
waiter! waiter! another tiktok horror movie for white women letterboxd trannies please!
