watched with my friend and we basically guessed every plot twist before they happened but I had so much fun doing that. one thing that I feel like I should mention is that this movie was probably the first in a few years to make me feel disgusted like when oliver was eating the knife, I have not felt disgusted watching the substance or any other body horror movies but yeah generic plot but I liked how the "angel" needed to suck the soul out of the dead body to transfer it to another dead body? hell yeah cool stuff
the childcare system folks the movie felt disjointed a little, like the gaps were nopt filled in properly. i seriously think the melodrama sad shit should have been reduced a little and they should have gone balls to the walls with andy creatine arc and pipers daredevil fetal position dogeball arc. those two could have easily killed that russian demon of a child named "connor bird". also stop it with the gore and shcok value bruh, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth, does not really impact the mind creatively as a good hoor flick does.
Really great for true horror lovers, but please don’t watch if you’re sensitive to blood
好好看狂推 恐怖也是很恐怖 但又有濃厚的感情(幾個地方泛淚) 也有和talk to me一樣別出心裁的轉場
Strong emotional pull of the story and characters (Sally Hawkins is amazing) is what makes it a good enough watch. I enjoyed the whole build up initially but there are some things that gave away more than what was intended. This made the whole climax terrifying yet uninteresting at the same time. Body horror elements are inconsistent. It’s just there without much of an impact. Wish it was crisper in terms of unravelling the mystery (Their “Talk to me” was exactly that)
One of the most uncomfortable watches I’ve had which I think was the creators intention and thus for me it was successful in what it was trying to do. I would consider it a sister film to hereditary but it doesn’t take any of its ideas quite as far. So a hereditary-lite. There are some questions left intentionally unanswered but not in an interesting way. More like “here’s some cool ideas but let’s not put a lot of effort in putting them all together” kind of way. I loved all the performances and everything that is in the movie works but just wish there was a little more. I don’t know if I would watch this again and I’m not sure if that’s a strike for it or against it.
i feel bad for you poor Connor..
Równie dobry jak za pierwszym razem, ale umocniłem się w przekonaniu, że jeśli tegoroczne horrory mogłyby liczyć na jedno wyróżnienie w sezonie nagrodowym, to powinna być to rola Sally Hawkins. Tak jak ludzie z anegdotek chcieli się spowiadać u Artura Żmijewskiego, tak ja spotkawszy ją na ulicy, krzyknąłbym "zabierzcie jej dzieci!".
