We're All Going to the World's Fair

In theory, cool idea. I didn't think the ending was predictable. Thought that the last monologue was dumb as dog sh*t and really didn't get the point of it?

Giving it a couple skulls for the two moments that had good scares (I'll put them at the bottom of this review with a spoiler notice) but they're not enough to make the story interesting or cause anything to actually happen in the film. The lead put on a really good performance but if I see any other films advertised as being from the makers of this one, I'll skip them. SPOILERS OF THE TWO GOOD MOMENTS: First, a scene of Casey sleeping normally, then slowly creeping her hand down and suddenly doing a wide-eyed smile was genuinely unsettling. The second was while Casey was doing a cringe dance and singing, then suddenly breaks from it and screams for a good few seconds, then goes back to dancing like nothing happened. Like I said, the lead did a really good job and it's a shame that her character was just a mopey teenager because I think she could do more.

Absolutely beautiful film, I loved it. Definitely a form of horror, very dark, amazing performances, just a stunning film.

Mumblecore about an angsty teen and a nonce.

“Dysphoria as an unseen spectre”. This isn’t a horror film but plays on the themes that it is so don’t expect it to be a horror film when going into this. One of my comfort films now after watching it a few times. The Worlds Fair is a story telling device and very much in the style of creepypasta games like candy man or Bloody Mary ect, giving people a device to tell their own story, wanting a sense and belonging in a community if only locked behind the digital screen. Very much isolated and depressing film and made me cry a few times once I put the pieces together, definitely worth the watch and will reward patient watchers who see it through till the end
