Oh my god that music is some of the best I’ve seen this whole fucking year, stellar cast, fantastic pacing, I am so so happy that I caught this during its theater run

Still holds up honestly. There’s things here that I really really like, like how they use audio and the night vision. That thing is unsettling and even moreso when you cannot understand what it looks like.

The most fun I’ve had watching a Final Destination film. Absolutely fantastic time. Recession film is back babey

Best experienced with friends (despite some of the actually insane and sometimes uncomfortable parts)

Still pretty great and holds up.

Really fun and kinda poignant in what it’s saying which I really appreciated (even if it’s grating with the fact that it’s a reality we’re living in. Cathartic, yknow? Especially the moment where Nasha just screams at them.).

There’s so many fun and delightful side characters that I wish got more time in the story (not Ruffalo and Collette’s characters, though, I kinda was over them both by the end of the movie). 

Too bad like half of the people that see it won’t take the message in.

GOD the camerawork and fight coreo is fantastic

Watched over the course of last Tuesday, Thursday, and today.

Beautiful movie.

This is the kind of movie I’d like to make if I actually had the resources and skill to do so. Genuinely bizarre dialogue at times to the point of absurdity along with some moments that are juuust backwards and off-kilter enough to resonate for me.

The cheerleaders made me laugh out loud.

Really creative kills and the editing really shines in this one too - the punchy cutaways made me smile, great comedic timing.

I did kind of leave this movie wanting more - when it shines with its kills, it truly shines bright, and I love the visual style as well. There’s something here that I feel isn’t fully realized, but what we do get is still wonderful! I just want MORE!!!

I love you, scary windup monkey.

(Also going to be on the lookout for more news on his next film. Really happy I stayed through the end credits for this one too.)

At some points it really really is dumb as hell but it’s also genuinely a fantastic over the top time.

Ok, genuinely, the art direction slaps, everything else that’s bad about this is Sony’s fault.

EDIT (22/5/2025): Adding on that this was the first time I’d seen the movie since I’d watched it in theaters seven years ago — I’m being serious when I say the art direction is good. I’d found an original copy of the script online before the edits and rewrites, and the original concept holds much stronger than the final result. Sony just wanted to get that sweet sweet PG-13 rating to take in more teens despite the fact that the generation that grew up with Slenderman was already in the process of becoming late teenagers and young adults.

If this thing had been rated R and gone all the way, it would’ve been much much better.

Drenched in atmosphere and the gothic, it’s like laying in your bedroom at night with a heavy fever and convincing yourself that the sun will never ever rise again.

To quote @nisipisa on here, “solidified my theory that lily rose depp can actually act, she just had nothing to chew on in the idol.”

My mom was surprised that Skarsgård has a normal and handsome human face in real life. She’s also sad that Orlok wasn’t as hot as she’d wanted or expected. I love you mom.

Fantastic movie, incredibly on the nose to an extent where it’s cheesy and over the top but with really amazing visuals and an ending that goes to the biggest fucking extremes. My favorite out of 2024.

as Nicole says, “this is peak highschool girlhood”

If this park were real I would hate being alive.

For people that are fans of Hammond’s Search and Rescue.

Pretty bad but it still has that uhhhh je ne sais quoi and I really love the creative scares and cool atmosphere of the hotel. Love the lore as well.

The entire ending sequence felt like I was sinking deep into the earth. Devastating finale, gorgeous atmosphere, really beautiful and surreal trip.

I think parts of this one will haunt me.

I silently cried for the entire third act.

Growing up in the Northeast suburbs made this movie familiar in too many ways. The hilly roads covered in houses ranging from two-story colonials to one-story ranch-styles, the way everyone kept their lawns meticulously clean, the chalk drawings covering the asphalt throughout the 90s and early 2000s.

The references to our childhood shows actually caught me offguard - Owen/Isabelle starting the story off with a fire pit a la Midnight Society, the opening credits of The Pink Opaque being the same font I (maybe mis) from Goosebumps.

It hurts to watch the ending. It’s painful, and the more days I think about it, the more upset it makes me.

“It’s not real if you don’t think about it.”

“Isn’t that a show for girls?”

“And then I was 19. And then I was 20. I felt like one of those dolls asleep in the supermarket. Stuffed. And then I was 21. Like chapters skipped over on a DVD. I told myself, ’This isn't normal. This isn't normal. This isn't how life is supposed to feel.’”

“You won’t even that you’re dying.”

“YOU ARE DYING.”

There is still time. 

YOU CAN’T GO BACK.

29 May 2024, raising my score from 3.5 to 4 stars.

I loved loved loved how they upped the stakes!!

God I love this movie.

Oh we are so back

the masked-in bear is the best part

tbh it’s really not that great, I just love the idea of a series of seemingly completely chaotic, disconnected, and foreboding events coalescing into something much greater than the sum of its parts

i wanted a vibe and was fed a grandiose feast

in doing so i will live deliciously.

parts where I felt genuine glee looking at the screen and parts where I kinda… yeah…

not bad but overall something

(is it bad that I want a sequel)

Bogeyperson Zoe my beloved.

Too many headshots for my liking but honestly I’d say this is their most creative roster of films yet!

Madison said this better than I ever could but it’s really just about Dracula getting his Girl Dinner.

There’s one death that was legitimately so sudden and fast that I started laughing. Very Barbarian-core (iykyk).

I don’t really know what to say.

I really really like this new take on the possession genre.

I also need that fucking hand but it’s probably $50+ ugggh

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

this made me so so happy and I couldn’t stop smiling the entire movie. Thanks to everyone so much for it.

ghosts but they’re not ghosts

27/1/2025 EDIT: Fun fact, the main guy from The Empty Man is in this. Watch that movie instead. It’s weirder and more memorable.
