Straight up - FUCK THIS MOVIE!
If you want a cinema induced migraine - go ahead and buy a ticket.
I hadn't been inside a movie theater in six months, and my first visit back I'm subjected to this nonsense. I'm glad some people are getting something out of it, I simply do not get it. I watched I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS the day before, and that was a walk in the park to parse out as it had…
Fuck! Can't last time I was this physically affected by a horror film. There are some scenes (mostly involving Olli (the kid on the poster w/ the birthmark) that had me jumping out of my seat, covering my eyes, giving me chills, goosebumps and yelling 'fuuuuckkk.' There is some images that have to do with teeth that really fucked me up.
A fantastic follow up the TALK TO ME, the Philippou Bros. really talented and keep the scale small…
There are better films that explore this subject with more nuance and consideration. The fact that it uses a twist of sorts to make its point felt cheap overall. There is value in reminding people of the issue at hand, and how hard it hits certain people in certain states, but dramatically it’s inert.
Also, a terrible title for a film with this subject matter.
