The acting in this movie is so good, I forgot it wasn’t an actual documentary.
this one was fantastic. it starts very slow, but its super creepy. not to mention once it got going it had me actually terrified of what was going to happen next and that hasnt happend for me in a while. the writing and acting was phenomenal imo, i might have to rewatch this movie to fully understand the ending but i liked the themes they wove into the story.
Super scary and gross
Very slow and uninteresting for me. Plot is not solid. No strong characters.
I thought it was going along very nicely until the dog scene. Personally I’m with Joe Bob on the whole “don’t kill dogs in movies” even though some movies make it work, like the first Conjuring for example. It’s a tone setter. I get it. In this film, however, the dog scene ruined it for me. There I said it. I feel better. All in all it’s a well made film and worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. Dog lovers be warned though 🥲
