So now I want desperately to see this film and it's playing no where near me. And since it's been such a hit at theaters, they're delaying the VoD release. I hate you for showing me this.

[Mythe_Seraph]

Just got out. Man it is beautifully shot and the setting is just incredible. Sadly that's all I have to say about that

I loved the movie and the music too - super retro. The scenes where they shot it with one take were pretty awesome.

Not sure if this is spoilery enough so I'll put it in the tags anyway:

Spoiler: show

Awesome that they had only very few jump scares in the entire movie - I counted three I believe. They relied heavily on the sense of oncoming dread - which successfully made me feel very uneasy - I can't remember the last time I felt like that when watching a horror movie. Also - I assume this movie was set in the 80s but wtf was up with that girls shell 'phone' /kindle thing?

Just saw a interview with a question involving it:

"Yeah, that's actually like a '60s-style makeup compact? It looks similar, but we repurposed it to be sort of a shell-phone eReader. The thinking there was that (as in a nightmare), you'd sort of layer in things that are anachronistic to the time period you're in, that don't belong there. It's about placing (the film) outside of time, so that was sorta just about making it feel more like a dream or a nightmare. That's why I didn't want like a particular make or model of cell phone. You put that in a closeup and everyone goes, 'Oh, it's the iPhone whatever production model, I know when (this takes place).' It pulls you out of the dreamspace. It comes from wanting it to feel like, y'know, something's not quite right. It's also about isolating the characters."

Oh that's great, I like that explanation. This director definitely knows what he's doing, I just saw the movie tonight.

Really solid horror movie I'd recommend. It's thrilling and has just enough of an abstract theme to it to make you think, and without going too pretentious. The movie doesn't rely on cheap jump scares to startle you, and that was SO refreshing in a time where worthless trendy horror movies do so. As noted the soundtrack was also great.

Slightly spoilery but not really.

Laughed when they were driving away and the old man was on the roof naked. We were like, why the hell would it be on the roof? Its hilarious if you just assume it's not the monster and instead it's just crazy ol' dad naked on the roof again.

[Fievel]

Saw it and really didn't like it, I thought most of the scenes were pointless and boring and they just didn't have enough suspense. Also I really didn't like the ending of the movie at all, it just all felt so stupid.

Lead actress is a fucking qt though

[macross]

she looks like a young kelly clarkson from her idol days. So why doesnt she just do some random guy and pass it on.

[BadKarma]

Don't be a fool
