What the fuck.
What was that about. Absolutely no idea. Did they just die? Was the last 30 minutes just a hypothermia induced death dream?
I donāt get it.
It honestly enjoyed about 20 minutes of that film, the journey between the parents house and the ice cream stand. Everything from the school onwards was bizarre and confusing and everything before that I was on edge as it felt it was about to turn into a horror film with the scratched basement door and Toni Colletes deranged performance.
Please explain this film to me. Am I dumb?
Wait - was the film from his POV all along? It wasnāt to do with the girl at all, thatās why the timeline was so fragmented? It was actually him sat in his truck as an old man With dementia looking back on a memory?
Is that it?
I think less of a ādefinedā story than that, thereās a lot of weirdness. But yes I think thatās it, the girl didnāt exist. I kept waiting for a twist where it turned out to be some kind of Alzheimerās dream or something. But I think it was just some sort of weird thought experiment kind of thing. Also, the shaking dog fucking terrified me.
I liked it in a way. I see why it didnāt get great reviews. The poem was rad though. Tried to buy the book itās from but itās out of print now.
Sorry added a spoiler tag
Not heard of it until now, honestly the trailer makes it looks amazing but it could be one of those things that could go either way. Your comments leave me curious but also not bothered about wasting 2 hours.
I hated Synecdoche
I liked Synecdoche (still donāt know how to pronounce it). This one felt like Kaufman was trying to prove how smart he was.
Thereās good stuff in it, performances, set design, camera work, but it was challenging to say the least.
I think now Iāve got to grips with who was actually telling the story, and understand a bit more how the whole thing is framed, I appreciate it more than I did last night, but I wouldnāt say I enjoyed the experience of watching it. At all
Watched two films this weekend.
Borat - was Borat.
Hereditary - was deeply unsettling.
Every single one of these types of films I find utterly shit.
And I donāt mean horror in general I mean supernatural slow burning bullshit.
Best horror film I watched recently was Midsommer.
Saying that I really liked all those shit 90ās to early 00ās slasher films like āI know what you did last summerā.
Itās just the stupid ghost films I fucking hate.
A guy with a knife and a vendetta is realistic.
Midsommer was just a shit version of Wicker Man.
Even mentioning that in the same sentence as The Wicker Man is doing it a favour.

A good one iād also watched in last few years was Donāt Breathe.
The Witch (VVitch) is probably the horror film of the last few years thatās unsettled me the most. Thereās something about the edges of woods that really gets me.
The film thatās made me most uncomfortable recently was The Nightingale. Really great but bloody hell its so bleak.
It was awful and not scary in the slightest.
Can I like both original Wicker Man and Nicolas Cage Wicker Man?
Modsommar and Hereditary were both good I thought. Not future classics though.
I get why some people donāt find supernatural films scary though. I feel the same way about a guy with a knife, like just send John McClane in.
Interesting. It proper creeped me out.
The things that usually scare me long term (outside of a jump scare) are either supernatural things like hauntings or unseen things that lurk off in the shadows. So a film with witches and dark forests really ticked both boxes for me. Blair Witch is the scariest film Iāve ever seen.
Outside of that, the first Rec film (the Spanish version) scared the balls off me. Two people in our group left the cinema when we saw it.
How can you be scared of things that arenāt real and impossible to happen?
Spiders scare me but they are real.
Ghosts donāt scare me because they arenāt real.
Obviously a lot of people agree with you because these supernatural witch and ghost films do well at the box office.
