Thread 213624334

People in my theater kept fucking laughing the entire time. Whenever the kids were running with their arms stretched out, for instance. Even when the teacher and Michael’s dad went into the house they were fucking dying laughing. Was this movie meant to be a comedy?

The Epstein ordeal completely desensitized people to child abuse. NPCs would rather pretend hurting kids is fine instead of facing the ugly truth.

>>213624334 (OP)
Also I understand why it would be funny when the junkie was doing his antics or when michaels dad kept fucking tossing him around. But they laughed at other shit not meant to be funny in the slightest.

>>213624334 (OP)
>Even when the teacher and Michael’s dad went into the house they were fucking dying laughing
Yes, the junkie standing up again and again and again was meant to be comedic.

Shrooms

Comedic 'horror' movies are reddit trash meant for children. You were the only intelligent person in that theatre.

>>213624588
Why?

>>213624493
It wasn't just that though. They were chuckling when Michael's dad went into the basement and got jump scared by the witch

>>213624716
Also they were laughing when the asian guy got turned into a weapon and his eyes were bulging out like wtf

>>213624716
The movie loses its tension a bit during the junkie bit, while it's still creepy and tense, it's never really scary or that serious anymore because there's too many funny bits.

>>213624773
I detest that. And the movie felt way too cheesy 80's/90's-esque when the kids started chasing the witch. Like fuck off. A lazy way to end the film to appeal to the nostalgia of aging film critics

>>213624334 (OP)
What puzzles me is why people think it's a horror. It's got drama, thriller and supernatural elements but all in all it felt more like an X Files episode circa season 4-6 when they started putting more jokes in. I wouldn't describe that as horror.

Yes
Horror-comedy is a kino genre. Horror movies have been too serious for the last couple decades

I heard alot of people laughed during the part Garner fell asleep in the car and a weapon was animated to go cut her hair. That part was seriously unnerving and im glad nobody fucking ruined it.

>>213624334 (OP)
>People in my theater kept fucking laughing the entire time.
Post where you're from. That should immediately explain the phenomenon.

>>213624334 (OP)
It looks like they're Naruto running.

I got two big laughs at my screening. Brolin waking from his nightmare screaming "What the fuck?!" right before the smash cut, and the cop getting a cheekful of syringe.

STOP FUCKING LAUGHING

>TAKE THE HORROR FILM SERIOUSLY, DONT EVEN NERVOUSLY LAUGH
You chuds are the joke

>>213624334 (OP)
People were laughing a lot when I went to see the original conjuring. I yelled shut the fuck up because I was so annoyed. Left shortly after and got my tickets refunded, theater was full of monkeys and was concerned for my safety lmao

>>213625143
It’s almost too well written to be horror. Just a very good film.

>>213628159
What a pussy lmao

I laughed so hard when this happened at the end

>>213628300
Lol, there was no point in staying, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the movie afterwards. One of the only crackers in a full theater

>>213624716
i also chuckled at jumpscares, especially the witch on the ceiling

>>213624716
It was Matthew you fucking Indian piece of shit

comedy horrors can produce kino

This is the most antisemitic movie I have ever seen and I have seen Nazi documentaries.

>The gays deciding on which box of 'Fruity' Pebbles to buy
>Then they have hot dogs (weiners) for dinner
I refuse to believe that wasn't intentional lmao that's the wkuk shining through

>>213625143
Its more like a horror thriller rather than psychological horror.

Did anyone else pick up on the Matthews 2:17 verse connection?

>>213624472
Some modern audiences are conditioned to laugh in response to anything slightly unusual happening, presumably to save face in front of their peers and pretend they're above being emotionally affected by a movie. It's just a prole thing

>>213628604
i legit said the same thing to my girlfriend during the showing we went to lmao. it was too fucking obvious, i love when those early 2000's sketch comedy roots show a bit

>>213628159
>full of monkeys
I know that feeling. Legit had two behind me drop the cliche, "Uh-uh, don't go in there!" Luckily they were older so they were quiet besides a few moments.

Just got out. The audience laughed a lot when uncomfortable moments happened.

Everyone was laughing their ass off st climax when its just Ferris Bueller running scene.

>>213624334 (OP)
Zoomers have no theater etiquette or understanding of film

>>213624378
Epstein is a hoax according to Trump supporters

The kids must’ve had a fucking blast on set while filming that final scene lmao

>>213624334 (OP)
>have your movie characters perform Naruto run on screen
Why are people laughing?!?

>>213624334 (OP)
Why didn’t anyone try beating the kids with a belt? Maybe that would’ve snapped them out of it?

>>213629420
>Matthews 2:17
qrd?

>>213628604
The hot dogs was probably also a reference to that WKUK skit with the guy gradually admitting to his doctor that he eats an absurd amount of hotdogs every day.

>>213631348
The fact that Timmy or Darren weren't cast as Justine is just ridiculous

>>213624334 (OP)
I'm conflicted as well. I never laugh put loud but this movie made me quietly chuckle a few times. It was basically reddit the movie, written clearly to cater Gen Z.
>Naruto run
>the junkie
>that final scene
some of the comedic elements were clearly unintentional. Like the moment in daisy star wars were the bad guy took of his mask wlfolkowed by a close up of his deformed face. The cinema was LMAO'ING.
Weapons wasn't good or bad, it was just a weird experience.

>>213631348
The fact that the trey had seven hot dogs on it leaves no room for doubt.

>>213631438
>naruto run

>>213624334 (OP)
Yeah, I heard a lot of people clap when the guy got his head blown off.
More entertaining then the Superman and Fantastic 4.

>>213631467
Now go find a historic picture where a fat homosexual asian dude ran like that to debunk the ridiculousness of people having to perform Naruto run on camera (under the spell of a bonsai tree).

That's not pornographic. I'm not sure if even the average pedophile would find that pornographic.

>>213629420
>>213630988
Josh Brolin’s kid was named Matthew and of course they all went missing at 2:17. It’s a reference to King Herod killing all of the children in Bethlehem.

entertaining enough but I'm gonna be salty if this floats to a best of the decade consenus on a raft of shit

>>213632148
>has nothing to do with weapons
There's a giant assault rifle in the sky, what more do you want?

>>213632148
>Weapons
It's a weird name, yes, but it applies to how she used the mindcontrolled people as her weapons.

Why didn't the witch kill or hypnotise the teacher while she was asleep in her car? Why just take her hair and leave her there?

>has to feed them soup
>isn't shown cleaning up piss and shit
dishonest film

>>213632428
So she could remain a scapegoat.

>>213628579
was wondering if some of you were going to pick up this angle. haven't seen the past threads

>>213632490
She sent wong to kill her the next day

>>213632314

>>213624334 (OP)
In those peoples defense, the movie felt like Creggers wrote the ending/punchline first and worked backwards on how to make the most masterful set-up.

I was mostly quite for the film but I lost my absolute shit the second the villain said "Oh no" and it hit me whete it was all leading to.

>>213632310
A movie where giant flying guns terrorize the earth would have been a lot cooler.

>>213624334 (OP)
Not sure the movie even qualifies as horror. It wasn't spooky at all I'd say 70% comedy, 10% random, 20% horror

Even mind controlling parasites would've been more interesting than "a witch did it"

>>213633185
I'm amazed Stephen King doesn't have a story like that.

>>213633281
Wrong because children wouldn't be able to beat parasites to death.

>>213628579
do you spend even a single second of your day not thinking about jews?

>>213628251
>Just a very good film.
Lol. It was absolute garbage. What a dumb story.

>>213629420
>>213631982
interesting

>>213624334 (OP)
I interpreted it as a dark comedy, much the same way as his previous film 'Barbarian'.

>>213633244
I guess I'm just a huge pussy because I thought it was scary as fuck

>>213633460
wow youre very special and smart for not liking the thing that everyone likes !

if you can't explain why there was a scene of Jennifer Gardner's character refusing to show Brolin the footage of her kid running away you didn't understand the film

>>213633359
Horror movies aren't supposed to be about catharsis

Who the fuck was the girl narrating? Why was that even in the movie?

>>213633616
explain

>>213633692
its a mystery thriller with comedic and scary elements

>>213633728
test screening audience didnt like the ending because "WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WE NEED AN EXPLANATION" so cregger added the narration and test audience was more positive

>>213633728
SHUT UP OKAY ITS FUCKING OBVIOUS YOU JUST HAVE NO MEDIA LITERACY

>>213633751
she was in on it

>>213633800
how

no...

>>213633828

>>213633875
>random stranger that you never talked to knocks on your door and asks if he can watch videos of your missing kid
>say its weird
>MUST BE WORKING WITH THE WITCH!

>>213633782
There's jump scares galore, it clearly presents itself as a horror movie

>>213634044
Theres 3 jump scares, 2 of them are followed by jokes

>>213628251
>too well written to be horror. Just a very good film.
Absolute garbage take.
I'm guessing you just don't respect horror movies, which can be very well written.
As a horror movie, this movie falls very flat because of the comedy.
But as a light thriller, it's much better.
I like good horror so I came out disappointed though.

wish there was more absurd/dreamlike bits like the floating stattrak galil or the hair cutting in the car
other than that it was great, but i don't understand people online saying it was lifechanging or an absolute masterpiece

>>213625227
>That part was seriously unnerving
EXACTLY. That part was so tense and I heard people gasp and hold their breath when it happened.
That goes to show how good the horror mood still was going before the comedy in the movie kicked into full gear and killed the dread.

>>213627171
There's tons of good jokes in the movie. But if you're laughing at things that are clearly just uncanny or unusual then you come off like a normie loser who laughs when he can't cope with weirdness.

>>213631982
But verse 17 clearly is not really saying anything though. It's verse 18 that has anything remotely relevant to the movie, so idk if that theory holds.

>>213633244
yeah, considering Barbarian, that seems to be Cregger's formula that he's sticking to I guess.

>>213624334 (OP)
Explain to me why I should watch a movie with these retarded kids running around like that. How is this scary and why should I waste my time on it?

>>213624378
Movies are not real

>>213633616
I mean obviously she was aware of his targeting the teacher and didn't want her kid WEAPONIZED for his pursuits. there's some thematic subtextual abstract stuff woven throughout about kids, communities, domiciles, protection, anxiety etc but I wouldn't say it has a real "point" to decipher, more like layers for grad students to pick apart in cultural studies much like Barbarian in that regard.

>>213634397
I agree. It was well made and enjoyable, but I don't quite get all the hype.

>>213635023
Yeah, the movie explains itself pretty well without OVERexplaining the lore. The only thing that sticks out to "decipher" might be the gun floating over Brolin's house with the 2:17 on it. It was one of the most striking visuals of the movie and felt a little too on-the-nose to be a direct school shooting reference IMO. I'll have to think about this one for a while.

>>213628560
Hyper based Basket Case poster. One of the best ever.

>>213634082
Oh I'm sorry nigga you counted? How many times you watched this movie?

>>213624820
While this is true, it did seem like a logical conclusion to the movie's established rules.
>>213628251
>well written
Was it? I like the framing and pacing but it did require the adults to kind of be idiots to move the plot forward. Of course that is common in horror movies and the characters are much less idiotic fhan usual.

>>213624334 (OP)
Yes you retard, the humor was supposed to be obvious.

>>213625214
True. I hope someone in Hollywood finds that /x/ vs. /fit/ greentext
>>213630824
True, it looked fun

>>213635589
>marketed as some spooky thriller/horror
>ummmm obviously it's a comedy
Guess I won't watch it then

>>213635629
You better not, faggot.

I cheered and laughed and was so excited during the last 10 minutes. That was such a magnificent spectacle. I'm sure I annoyed some people but others in the audience were hyped too
I may have gotten a little too drunk to be sharing a space with others, but I was so elated over that ending. Magnificent
