Yeah and that’s about where it both starts and ends as far as what you’re in for with this one and I didn’t even necessarily dislike it, I thought it was decent for what it was but goddamn is this movie polarizing. People seem to either love it and think it’s super deep and profound or absolutely despise it and think it’s a huge piece of shit and a complete waste of time, I feel like the only person who thought it was just pretty alright
No one says it is profound. Cinema can simply be about establishing moods without the need for plot. It is actually quite simple.
The divisive nature is due to people either having the vibe I described, or not having it. There is little middle ground there. The movie either succeeded in triggering that vibe,or failed.
>No one says it is profound
Except they do. Maybe you haven’t seen it but people have written entire essays on how the entire movie is some sort of allegory for systemic child abuse and all sorts of pseud shit like that. Just because you haven’t had the displeasure of reading some of these reviews by people whose heads are so far up their own ass they think everything is drenched in symbolism and they’re the only genius who can see it doesn’t mean they’re not out there by the plenty.
yeah because my memories of the dark in my house are excessively grainy views of walls and corners and I couldnt hear anything and subtitles popped into my vision. ah just like back home
I liked the first hour or so where the kids explore the house a bit while spooky shit happens but the next two hours of literally nothing leading up to the schizo nonesense at the end bored me

This, as the anon who has sort of a lukewarm opinion on the movie, it took me three nights to finally finish it because it dragged on so monotonously that I kept falling asleep
I engaged with this movie at the level it wanted me to (no lights, zero distractions etc) and overall the movie "worked" on me but it's also a slog at the same time.
The changes I'd make are admittedly Hollywood bullshit but then again it'd actually have a plot and progression so who's to say what's better
i don't know if i would call it kino, but i enjoyed it for what it was
homosexuals
well yes, but thats beside the point
LITERALLY nothing happens
What's good about it?
It sort of captures that feeling of being five years old and waking up and going downstairs at 3 AM to get a glass of milk with all the lights off.

This is unironically the worst movie I've ever seen. And I usually love experimental horror.
I don't think people have ever actually talked about what happened in the movie, just what vibes they got.

Should have been 30-45 minutes long. It did not have enough content or plot to drag on as long as it did.
He did a short film called Heck that's exactly that.

>silence.................... LOUD NOISE
Isn't this precicely what appeal to zoomers?
Awesome concept, but the execution fricking sucked. Jump scares sucked and and the "creepy faces" just looked like Photoshop shit.
Scared the shit out of me.

Pure trash. I can make a better movie than this on my iPhone in like 10 minutes.
Was it really just a head injury dream the whole time? If so, I’m removing it from my kino self.

i never watched this because i know it would keep me up at night for months
quuer
trash.
>Is that a blurry closeup of a wall and some base board?!
>I'M GOING INSAAAAAAAAAAAANE!
its good as an experience but debateably not good as a movie with a plot you have to have patience and take it for what it is
