even ethan hawke was underwhelming, the kids are terrible actors and the whole thing felt like a weak attempt on cashing on the stranger things induced 80's nostalgia, horror is already a pleb genre but this was just plain ass
I went to the cinema with my gf and it was alright, dark as frick at times and corny as hell at others, it has some creative scenes towards the end and i liked it t. 22 year old south american on a malasyian basket weaving forum
i watched this after it showed up on fmovies front page a few days ago
comfy movie but did the guy rape the kids after they were "naughty" or was it """only""" beating them dead that turned him on? Kinda confused on that one.
I liked this movie but it's barely a horror movie it's on par with fantasy like goonies and lost boys, a bunch of dead kids all contribute to helping the kid survive and the end is like a video game.

I thought it'd be more fricked up if Hawke was a ventriloquist and master of mimicry, that it was Hawke calling on the phone pretending to be the kids he killed - subconsciously trying to help the kid escape the house.
This would actually be decent. I was waiting for some kind of a twist or anything, but nothing ever happened, if you've seen the first 10min you've seen the movie.
Can someone smarter than me decipher the killer's backstory based on the black balloons/masks stuff? I figured since he kept talking about "naughty boys" and claimed he heard the phone ring once that he probably got abused in that same basement by his dad or something, but is there more to it that I'm missing?

Was the kid moronic?
i hate those movies that are banging you in the head with what every scene is about. No room for subtext, nothing. Everything is spelled out in big letters and as dumbed down as possible so even 60IQ morons won't miss a thing. In result, we're getting a movie that feels painfully slow. Let's say you have a scene that lasts 2min but literally everything the scene has to convey is conveyed in first 30 seconds or sometimes even less. You know what the scene is about, just move on you fricking moron of a director. Remember that fella from tv who was teaching people how long is one minute when nothing happens? That's how i felt in those scenes. Literally nothing happens after some time. You know everything you need and the scene stops delivering. I've had enough after 30 minutes. Sorry for the rant but i'm just mad when i'm waiting for a movie and it turns out to be shit.
also, little girl can't act
belting scene was cringe as frick
there was more like the globohomosexual signal at the end but overall, very mediocre film
awful movie and the obvious shilling everywhere makes it worse
even the new Dario Argento movie was better than this crap (terrible, but at least it has breasts and good gore)
still made more money than the northman
How bad? Premise seems ok and Ethan Hawke is generally alright.
I just finished it. Not as good as sinister, even a bit boring in the middle some good scenes though

Yeah it was just OK. Disappointed to be honest.

It is very shitty.
Yeah it's like a video game tutorial section.

meni je bio skroz ok
i liked the way it played with tropes
telefono Black
Ay caramba! Este titulo es problematico!
Was distracted by them using two songs from Dazed & Confused. They were also the best parts of the movie, which wasn't great.
I thought it was very good 8/10.
Ethan Hawke nailed it.
>Dazed & Confused
And Hawke was in several Linklater movies.
It's cool when movies are really awesome and then the main character just wakes up and cries to his mummy about a nightmare he had
I only got 20 mins in before I got bored with it.

An anon a couple of hours ago said it's about Christianity but either way there's a lot of metaphors and symbology in it
>confirmation bias
There literally isn't one. They just put random early MTV music video shit in the movie.
It's a book adaptation. If you want to be a nerd as much as Kinggays explaining who was the blowjob bear in Shining go for it.
Is this movie connected to the babadook movie?
no

I agree for the most part. I mean you take out the dream shit and it doesn't change the ending at all right?
literally make Room 2.0 and its 100 times better movie

>in 1978 in America a part-time magician could afford 2 houses on his own
also Gwen is based
Yeah the part when she smashes the bully's head in with a rock was based
>seating toghether near the fence while bleeding
What did they mean by this? (It was unintentionally comic btw)
is that jefrey epstein?

No I didn't notice it. Where was it?
