There's absolutely nothing here, even as a Weeknd fanatic like myself - whether you want either a new The Wall style experience for the brilliant album, (Abel's Downward Spiral or Alice in Chains self-titled) a thriller or just a unintentional comedy, it fails on all those fronts. There's no conherent story, it's shockingly boring, and when you do get unintentionally funny moments, they happen for 30 seconds and then you're thrown back into limbo - Charlie pretty much summed up my exact thoughts on this move perfect so go watch him - between Waves and this, put Trey in directors jail

Isao will be hearing from my therapist in a couple of days

It honestly feels like this movie didn't know which tone to shoot for - there's a bunch of scenes where you're supposed to feel sad mixed with a bunch of scenes just played for comedic value along with some bizarre editing and lighting (seriously, this movie's underexposed as FUCK). It's too bad, because there are honestly bits and pieces that work, but it doesn't commit to the goofy tone of War Zone or the seriousness of the Netflix show - it did give us the awesome PC game so I can't really complain too much

Pains me to say as a huge fan of both Raid movies - this is one of the most disappointing movies of the year for me as during the runtime of this I was wondering why I wasn't watching John Wick 4 (BTW there's a nightclub sequence that uses the exact same Gesaffelstein track, and I was shocked) or Monkey Man instead. What makes the Raid movies so special was their sense of adrenaline through their visuals and editing - the action here isn't bad per say but it's cut so much that it doesn't resemble a satisfying action scene at all, and they compensated for this by making the action unbelievably violent with a fuckton of terrible CGI blood (there's a shotgun ambush scene in a limo that rivals Martyrs) which I would normally love but it's to a point where it was clear they wanted to appeal to 17 year old edgelords - and once the action is over you get treated to a handful of terrible dialogue. That being said, I would honestly Netflix push something like this than Electric State, and it's not the worst thing ever as far as Netflix goes

I was feeling a 3/10 for most of this because while it does have all the Blumhouse-isms we've come to expect (not to mention the woman is sitting in broad daylight so it's downright funny at times), it wasn't anything super bad or anything - then the ending happened and it immediately dropped down, I was genuinely shocked at how tasteless it was. When I think of bad endings (Book of Henry, Would You Rather, Poughkeepsie Tapes) at least I can laugh a bit about how try-hard or nonsensical they are - you can't do that with this at all.

Without spoiling it, the ending has possibly the worst representation of mental illness in horror, and I don't believe it was coming from a genuine place at all - I rarely say this but Jaume Collet-Serra needs to be sent to directors jail immediately

I stayed away from all the discourse until I had a chance to see this because this will no doubt be one of the most divisive movies of the year, and in hindsight it's one of the best moves I've made. It's not perfect, but I think this stays away from a lot of the cliches that "war is bad" movies that we're all getting a bit tired of now. It honestly feels like more of a experimental film at times with the way it's edited and the lack of music, and another thing is that from the start it's really not asking you to sympathize with anyone on a emotion level, rather it goes in a more "what's the point" angle I really found interesting. Another thing was I was expecting this to be like Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, or God forbid Hacksaw Ridge, but it's more like Detroit in nature where we follow events at a singular location, and I think this gives you a more grounded approach as to how bad it really is - it has stuff I could nitpick but by the end of this movie I was asking myself what the point of war was, and it more than got that message across

This is what I feel people that hate Black Swan see - just a ripoff of another movie, complete with traumatic scenes happening to our main character with no actual payoff, and some of the most surface level commentary on mental health (i.e has nothing to say about it) complete with the most nonsensical ending I've seen this year

Also this is the second piece of film I've seen this month that uses the word "incel", I am going insane

The most baffling cinematic experience since Book of Henry - everyone see this pronto

Genuinely WAY worse than I . It generally just feels like a movie designed to please everyone, with some of the most mind numbingly awful minor line readings, surface level commentary on trauma and bland visuals - I don't like using the word lifeless but I genuinely can't think of a better description

Also this movie has more fake out jump scares than real ones, so take that as you will

I always find analog horror to be one of the scariest types of horror personally, and films like Lake Mungo and Longlegs use it to near-perfection in a narrative format. I heard about this movie being one of the inspirations for a lot of analog horror, so surprise when I found out it kinda sucks. About halfway through the movie you can tell that the analog horror is just a gimmick to show as much depraved edgelord descriptions of sexually motivated violence against women, and that the procedural plot is sidelined pretty quickly and that it makes no sense along with some of the most shoddy acting and writing you're gonna see in horror - if you've ever heard of UrbanSPOOK from CreepCast then it's pretty much exactly like that - it thinks that non-stop cruelty equals effective horror a-la Terrifier. If any analog horror fan can go into more detail about why this fails, I would love to hear a detailed description, but for right now all I can tell you is that it's not good, to say the least

Heyo guys, how are all of you doing?

I just wanted to share something with you guys - since ing Letterboxd, I've met so much nice people, and with the , during my time on here I opened up about my experience being sexually assaulted, body image issues, and finding my sexuality, which I received tons of from you guys, and it truly means the world to me.

It's also helped me a lot in the outside world, and recently I found the strength to attend school for the transportation business, which I would never see myself doing but right now I feel like it's my path in life, I hope you guys have that as well. No matter how cringe I can come off sometimes you guys always accept me and me, and it means so much. While I sometimes get treated poorly in the outside world, I can always count on you guys for . Movies and music as well as some niche interests are comfort things for me, and it's so nice to find people who are as crazy for it as I am (I never get tired of reading your stuff about it). It's such a contrast from my school days, where I was ridiculed for pretty much everything lmao.

Thank you Isaak, Jack, Noah, Snuffles, Geoff, Cami, and everyone else who likes my stuff. Love you guys, keep being you ❤️

Not a perfect film by any means but one that seemed to be tailor made for me, it's just the most trashy, violent, surrealistic, almost De Palma giallo riff on Secret of NIMH featuring talking cats - it makes me so happy that it even exists

Holy shit
