>actually fucking terrible
WOW what the fuck was that shill campaign during release? This only got interesting enough to watch during the last 30 minutes of the film. Glad I didn't waste money watching this trash in theatres.

>>214422132 (OP)
can you just kind of run me through it as I just started watching it and am already bored.

>>214422132 (OP)
I liked it

>>214422132 (OP)
It was enjoyable, stop being such a tryhard crybaby.

I just got done watching it. It was good but it's overhyped. It's definitely worth a watch but people are sucking this movies dick way too hard. I guess in a sea of garbage it sticks out. The subtext of 'kill boomers' is pretty based.

>>214422730
Crazy witch lady only gets introduced properly 3/4ths of the movie in. Before that absolutely NOTHING happens. Nothing.

>>214422132 (OP)
I think it had a lot of potential, but they spent 1.5 hours (of a 2 hour runtime) repeating scenes from different perspectives when they couldve expanded the lore

I liked it, but honestly I was way more invested in the teacher's and cop's storylines than the spooky stuff. Also the chase at the end was so fucking retarded it made me laugh so much.

>>214423008
>it made me laugh so much
You do realize it's supposed to by funny right?

It's by the guy who made 'Barbarian'
If you had high hopes for it then I don't know what to tell you

This place is getting worse and worse with the bait

>>214423168
it felt out of place with the rest of the movie - and specifically the buildup of the preceding scenes.

This was a good movie and so was 28 years later. Sorry, contrarians.

>>214423216
>28 years later

>>214423216
>and so was 28 years later
But what about that fight at the end?

>>214423274
I thought it was funny.

>>214422132 (OP)
the last thirty minutes are the worst part of the film

>>214423216
Weapons was good, 28 years later was good only the first half

All she had to do was stop drinking and that police guy would drop that hag stacy

>it's a witch
Before that reveal movie was fullscreen, after that I was browing 4chan on the other half.

Was good but a little overhyped like others have said. I would have liked a little more lore and a few of the scenes were too darkly shot which felt streamerslopish, plus the ending didn't quite live up to the potential of the early set up.

Overall a solid 7/10

Big titty bimbos just aren't my thing. I've always had a thing for alt chicks and understated girl-next-door types. Bimbos are also terrible in bed, it's the shy short hair girl with the nose ring and full sleeve arm tattoo will eat your ass without hesitation.

>>214422132 (OP)
It was too long. And the teacher was insufferable.
Setting up a mystery and then just have it be a witch mind controlling people was ass.

>>214423600
It was obvious it was going to be something supernatural from the very beginning

>>214423616
Supernatural is fine, but in this case it was too simple, which made it both overpowered (this makes the witch look retarded for failing) and easy to use that even a kid could use it after watching her do it once.

>>214423600
>a witch mind controlling people was ass

It really do be like that though

Remind me, did the witch use the teachers hair for something? I don't remember her being mind controlled.

>>214423616
Yeah, true. >>214423651 read my mind.

>>214422132 (OP)

>>214423688
the hair is supposed to belong to the person the 'weapon' will attack

>>214423761
Ah that's right. That's why the Asian guy t-posed across town to find her

>>214423688
Yes, she used it to re target Marcus the gay principal after he killed his boyfriend.

Does the climax of the film happen a month after the kids run out at night?

So that kid was buying soup on his own for weeks and the store clerks never thought it was weird, in relation to the disappearances?

Were the basement kids being fed soup too? That's a lot of soup cans.

>>214424007
>Were the basement kids being fed soup too?
true. never thought about this. maybe the spell is soo strong it makes the mind ignore starvation and muscle strain (standing all day and night) like the parasites the control bugs

why did he include a dream scene with a huge floating stattrak AR15?

>>214422132 (OP)
>>214422730
note that the movie literally lies about the kids never being found at the start, in the voice-over narration. they are found, they all survive.

my guess is that the movie got changed a lot during reshoots.

>>214424201
Maybe. I would have to listen to the context of that narration again, but (playing devils advocate) maybe it meant they never got found during the initial search (notice no one is searching for them anymore - except Josh Brolin) .

>>214424201
>The film's ending was initially going to end with a silent shot of Matthew, but due to negative test audiences reaction, voiceover was added.

is there a movie genre that requires less talent than horror?

>>214424201
My read on that is the narrator is speaking from the point in time right before the events of the Justine chapter begin.

Haven't the kids been gone a month or so at that point?

>>214424402
Romance movie for women?

>>214424402
Romance. Cheaper too.

Retarded movie but it's a horror so I didn't expect anything else. Still worth a watch just for the camerawork as many scenes are creatively and/or cleverly shot.

>>214424426
direct quote from the beginning

>A bunch of kids literally Naruto running into the night
>Its not an allegory for autistic trans children who watch too much anime

missed opportunity desu

Here's the exact text of the starting voice over from the script, it doesn't say disappeared it says never came back.

>>214424201
I just watched it again, the narrator only said that on THAT NIGHT the kids ran out of the front door and never came back. She never said that the kids were never found.

>this trash

I spit on modern movies

Now that it's out on streaming, it's nice that people are finally able to be filtered by it.
It gives me joy.

>>214422132 (OP)
So... who did knock on the teachers door in the first segment? And who did the breathing to her phone. Josh Brolin painted her car but was all this also him? Feels out of character desu

>>214422132 (OP)
It's not terrible. But yeah, embarrassing that it got anywhere near the hype it did

they were really flexing with all the tracking shots in this, especially at the end and the liquor store

>>214423777
>t-posed
I think it would have been scarier if they just ran normally instead of doing the stupid naruto running

>>214426524
I had the witch part spoiled before watching and it still had some fun parts. 6.5/10 for me

This shot reminded me of IT and was one of the spookier moments imo

>>214426915
the problem isn't the witch. its the lack of setup and the way the ending contradicts the voiceover at the start.

the movie was obviously just cobbled together from reshoots because the "artistic" version wasn't judged to be marketable enough.

>>214424201
I mean, the narrator immediately lies about all kids from the class disappearing, then it turns out one boy actually went to class 1 minute later

The movie only gets fun once Aunt Gladys is introduced, before that it's sleep inducing and filled with well, literallywhocares filler of boring characters talking

NTA, but no the kids are seen being fed as well.

The narrator is a kid telling a campfire story so obviously unreliable. I liked it, it made it more kino imo.

the cops would know they have something to do with it from day 1
talking with the kids would be enough but the weird person out of nowhere who claims is an aunt and oh btw the father is catatonic and the mother is in another castle
the writer just brushes it off with cleaning the house and sending the kids to the woods for a few hours
how can she send the kids out?
she just can

No, he literally just started writing the movie with no idea how it would end and then he didn't go back and edit it. It's literally just a guy making up a story for two hours.

>>214430170
Agreed. Weapons was a 7.5/10 that turned out to be a big hit that was not a sequel, that's a plus. Materialists also is or just crossed the 100 million dollar mark as an original idea this summer. That's what I hope to see more of.

I haven't seen 28 Years or Eddington, but between this, Sinners and Mickey 17 I've been consistently let down at the cinema this year.

>>214431696
I liked Sinners but it's kind of disappointing that it's still the best film of the year (though Black Bag isn't far behind).
The Venice boss said the other day that people need to stop expecting the next big masterpiece to screen at film festivals. The cynic in me says that he was still salty about not getting One Battle After Another (he previously confirmed that he'd tried) and knew it wasn't screening at any festivals. The obvious interpretation is that it's an attack on the media's desire to expect so much from "auteurs" (and thus the letterboxd user's expectations alongside) and then prop up mediocre films as masterpieces because of sunken cost.
But I think the better interpretation is the way that so many filmmakers seem to have stopped making films for the sake of trying to entertain an audience and instead just to prove how great they are and impress their hollywood friends. Eddington is a perfect example. The entire film feels like Aster trying to convince you how much smarter he is than the average person for being above the left/right debate.

>>214422132 (OP)
it was cool seeing the fat asian guy from dr strange doing the naruto run and beating the shit out of a white girl

>>214427733
The voice over isn't a contradiction.
The kids never came back.
They were all changed, a few started talking but they were all changed and fucked in the head.

Just like the parents are unable to feed themselves still.

Eddington and Weapons were great, Sinners was alright (fatigue), and 28 Years sucked.

She fucks around with people in dreams/hallucinations from the beginning, and she's physically introduced like halfway through.

>>214423215
The movie had quite a few deliberate comedy beats throughout, and the ending chase is in line with the Grimm's fairy tale style that's built up to that point.

The fact that the zombie parents and the missing children had to be fed daily implies that their digestive system was not affected by the spell. Which means they were all constantly pissing and shitting themselves. Kek. Also, the movie would have made more sense if it was in the 1990s or something but the producer probably didn’t want it to feel like “Strangers Things”….its a major plot hole that there are ring cameras in the movie and yet none of the neighbors cameras caught the 17 kids running into the witch’s house.

When the witch breaks the twig, she can give them orders different from attact. She did that with the family, ordering them to harm themselves. Yeah, it is not explicitly stated, but is it that hard to believe? Thought the hair is in retrospective a little ridiculous and funny.

>>214423753
cant believe how cute this jewess is. shes only got a year or two before she hits the wall, she needs to be shoved into every movie getting released

>>214436015
He knew what he wanted and went for it. I admire his intrepidity

>>214435684
no you fool
she attaches a personal item to mark for possession and twists the hair around the twig as a target for the possessed to attack, covers it in blood and snaps to commence the attack
there's no other ritual ever shown nor any deviation from it
she throws it in the water to stop the attack
if she needs hair and only hair and nothing else no voice commands, for direct relentless magically homing attack, how would she issue any more complicated orders like going into the woods, not to mention bringing someone inside, someone she has no means of targeting
why would she need the hair if she can just issue orders telepathically
it's not about hard to believe it's just inconsistent and poorly done since it focuses so much on the twig and it's a pivotal aspect of various scenes
but it goes out the window when there's a plot to push forward

>>214436797
come to think of it
she sends a zombie mom to get hair from the teacher
how, it's a complicated action how did she tell her to go to that car, see who's inside and stay quiet in case that person is sleeping and cut their hair
instead of just bringing her inside?
lets say she didn't want to vanish too many people without necessity
why not take her vodka as a private item?
later when teacher is in the house already she doesn't use the hair to posses the teacher, hair is as much a private belonging as a ribbon or basket label

i actually can't believe how overhyped this movie was. it was a C+. the juice wasn't even worth the two hour squeeze

>>214436987
It was WAY too long. Holy shit, so much padding.

>No, he literally just started writing the movie with no idea how it would end and then he didn't go back and edit it. It's literally just a guy making up a story for two hours.
this, the opening scene at the PTA meeting was clearly inspired from the clips in VA and TN about parents threatening teachers and being arrested over faggotry in the classroom. The premise of kids from one class being taken from their parents stems from that and he settled on muh witch for the big reveal

The first half was really good and interesting but the moment you get the reveal of what's going on in the Marcus chapter the quality falls off a fucking cliff, what the actual fuck.
It's like if Cabin in the Woods was made in the modern year.

could have added more tension around the city due to how serious the situation is but we get pretty much relaxed public spots in bar scenes, cops talking about lunch plans, liquor stores, gas stations, wives talking about ovulation, pawn shop clerks, etc. Plus the whole final part happening in broad daylight with comedic camera cuts and dialogue.

I like the pacing and momentum both Weapons and Barbarian have. They amplify tension and energy until a peak, then flatline it with a perspective change and start over. They aren't my favorite movies ever, and I don't think they have massive rewatch value, but they are perfectly enjoyable films to watch once every 10 years. People are lying when they rate it 9+/10 or say it is scary though.

I'm kind of sick of this type of horror where it's not particularly scary, tense, gripping or thrilling, but tries makes you say "damn that that would be crazy if it happened irl"
It's some sort of zoomer millennial writing/directing with these a24 indie movies that make them feel different than older films or big studios
It's like their purpose is to farm "I'd need sooo much therapy if that happened to me haha" reactions
they try to feel "more real" with down to earth actors and sets but they end up being lame and gay
might just be me being autistic about directing and cinematography

So here's my problem with it. Either make these kind of horrors existing in their own twisted, semi-dreamlike worlds, like Fulci or Argento would do, or actually pay attention to the fucking details if you make something supposedly grounded.
>police not interrogating the only kind who didn't disappear
>lone kid buying tons of fucking soup for a period of time without getting attention
>lots of houses in town had CCTV, but none of them captured the fucking kids all running to the one house in a straight line
Or just set it 20 years ago and mention that only 3 houses had monitoring or something. Holy shit. I liked most of the movie and I didn't mind that it got some more action at the end (no clue why normies hate it so much), but for fuck's sake, at some point you cannot ignore shit like that.

>>214441620
>lone kid buying tons of fucking soup for a period of time without getting attention
idk why they didn't have Gladys buy the food. She wasn't bound to the house or anything. I get that she was evil and didn't care for their well being, but she still needed them alive to suck their souls didn't she?

>>214441620
These are really dumb complaints and you guys keep reposting them

>>214441620
>police not interrogating the only kind who didn't disappear
They did. They showed that multiple times. Including the police searching the house.
>lone kid buying tons of fucking soup for a period of time without getting attention
Lol. Lmao even.
>lots of houses in town had CCTV, but none of them captured the fucking kids all running to the one house in a straight line
They didn't run in an exactly straight line they ran just in a general direction. And then disappeared.
Final thoughts: You were not paying attention to the movie.

>>214441620
all these complaints are just hindsight harry shit
they had already interrogated the kid and came out with nothing
buying soup alone is weird but not suspicious
why would they assume the kids were running in a straight line, and even then we literally see make turns. thanos didn't even manage to line the kid's path to alex's home

>>214441946
>why would they assume the kids were running in a straight line
Probably because that's how they run in the Alex section of the movie. They'd have to run in front of multiple houses to reach their goal.

>>214442298
not all houses had cameras and, no, they do not run in a straight line in alex's section

>>214442335
>not all houses had cameras
An NOT A SINGLE FUCKING ONE had a camera on the same street where Alex lived. Despite the movie pointing out at the beginning that cameras are common there. How convenient.
>and, no, they do not run in a straight line in alex's section
They literally run straight, passing multiple houses. You know, the camera-less ones.

>>214442387
they didn't say they were common, they said that people had alarms that all went off at 2:17 in the morning and some of them had cameras that only showed them running away into the distance
they do not run in a straight line or else none of them would be turning as they reached alex's home

>they didn't say they were common
Yes. They established that fact by showing multiple shots of cameras.
>they do not run in a straight line or else none of them would be turning as they reached alex's home
Holy fucking shit. I'm talking to an actual autismo who takes everything literal. I hope you're at least not raping your mother, like Chris Chan.

>>214442468
they show cameras to show that some of them had them weren't you listening to the monologue?
and you can literally see them make turns as they run towards alex's house as they are standing outside waiting for them

>>214442498
>they show cameras to show that some of them had them
Yes, you absolute fucking retard. I told you that.
>and you can literally see them make turns
Which part of me making fun of you for being an autistic cunt who takes everything literally can't you understand, Chris?

>>214442572
i'm just telling you what the movie told us and you're mad

>>214442298
Lets say they look through all the cameras and get a vague idea of where they went, but regardless the kids seemingly vanish. Even near the remaining kids house.
So the cops search it up and down, looking for any signs of something strange, but find nothing. What would the police do exactly? I think at that point the plot hole is the husband's excuse of a brain injury.
But again - what would the cops do? No evidence of a crime, can't do jack.

The real plothole is that if a classroom of kids went missing like the fucking bermuda triangle, it'd be global news and they'd turn the entire town upside down looking for them. The fact they didn't gives just a surreal quality of it to me and I'm fine with not caring. Didn't rustle my suspension of disbelief.

>>214442585
OK, Chris. We're all looking forward for more Sonichu comics. Remember to not rape your mom anymore.

Calm down, Chris. Leave Babs alone.

>>214442703
whatever, you clearly realized you were wrong and are now doubling down by calling me autistic or something
don't bother responding

>>214442740
>act autistic and take common phrases literally
>NOOOOOOO!!!!1111 U STOOPID NOT ME!!!!!!1111111
I accept your concession.

>faggots itt whining they don't explain the witch's power set enough

The more explained in a horror movie, the worse it is.

>>214443438
is your reading comprehension this bad?
you will like this movie!

>>214422132 (OP)
One of my favourite films ever honestly, if you don't like it I think you're probably retarded and need to go watch the newest Conjuring or whatever.

>>214443438
Zoomers need every little detail explained or they get bored and "don't get it"

This guy is OK. Nothing special but I like the way he structures and frames his generic stories with the splitting acts into perspectives to make them feel more engaging and surprising. The characters get to feel more slice of life than usual horror garbage. Also like that there's a bit of humor here and there and he seems to take delight in having his characters be flawed and his shock value moments to be weird instead of just relying on darkness. He understands it's about contrast and buildup instead of constantly trying to suffocate you. But it's his second movie and already formulaic.

watch the movie. its not matter of lack of explanation - mystery is compelling. its that things make no sense and so beg more questions

>follow some character for 20 minutes
>there's some mystery going on
>but you actually follow the character doing mundane shit instead
>suddenly a creepy thing appears that could make the mystery advance
>it suddenly cuts to another perspective instead of letting the plot advance
I wonder if people realize his whole shtick is pulp fiction but applied to horror

People are just mad that the cast was predominantly white. We know your jewish tricks.

>>214444137
>things make no sense
It made sense, ESL zoomtard

Shit movie.

This character felt real as fuck. I thought they hired an actual tweaker until I realized it was the kid from Euphoria

>>214444453
>be tweaker
>it would be stupid to lie about needle
>no reason even to do it
>lie about needle anyway
too real

>>214444282

It's Rashomon you fucking mong

>>214422897
Have you never heard of "slow burn?"

>>214444575
is it a slow burn if the previous scenes are just repeats from different POVs?

>>214444610
Slow burn means that that act 1 and act 2 are dragged out and very methodical.

Good horror movies that are slow burns don't jump the shark in the end of act 2 and/or act 3.

Argue with me.

>>214444534
rashomon is about the same one event through diverging perspectives, retard-kun
you could have said short cuts to seem knowledgeable instead
but you'd also miss the other part of his shtick which is about pacing and ending each act on a mini cliffhanger

>>214444575
Have you ever seen a good movie with slow burn? Fucking not I suppose if you think this one was good

this vs longlegs vs hereditary

>>214444782
Hereditary.
Chinatown.
Across 110th St.
Killing of a sacred deer.
Legally Blonde.
There are SO many.

>>214444790
Thanks for the reminder to watch longlegs I forgot that one existed

>>214444725
>jump the shark in the end of act 2 and/or act 3.
like Weapons?

>>214436015
There's a guy you just buy a beer for. Doesn't matter the colour of his skin, where he comes from or whatever political or religious beliefs he might have. Buy him a beer, have a drink with him and laugh yourself sick as he shows you his can trick.

>>214422730
I can't even comprehend someone who puts on a movie then immediately starts browsing 4chan then complains about being bored. Why not just kill yourself?

Probably would have been better if you didn't know the teacher was innocent in the first 2 minutes

>>214440034
shut up, retard
