“a peanut butter cliff bar should not have made me feel my own mortality but here we are. no latex budget to speak of and i still walked out shook”
“deborah ann woll is doing legitimately some of the best acting i've seen in a shudder joint this year and the maggots alone had me curling my toes up off the theater floor. the first half where it's basically autopsy of jane doe cosplaying as a cold case is SO good that i was lowkey devastated when the howling started and it turned into a different (still fun) movie. like the quiet dread of standing over a body you can't explain hit me 10x harder than anything with teeth did later. practical effects all the way through tho, no ugly cgi slime, you can feel every rip which i respect. not the second coming the 95% had me bracing for but i'll take moody and mean over clean any day”
“saw for moms and i say that with my whole chest, diane lane deserved a website that wasn't buffering”
“spends 75 minutes on a boat and calls it jason TAKES manhattan. my guy barely rented an airbnb”
“seidi haarla does this thing where she goes from giddy mom-to-be to something feral over 92 minutes and i genuinely forgot rupert grint was even in it until the high chair scene where he's doing the little aeroplane and it curdles so fast my stomach dropped. the greenish wet finnish forest is doing a LOT of the heavy lifting and i lived for it, this is my exact flavor of slow dread where the land knows something the mother knows and nobody else will listen. yeah it's another postpartum-as-horror metaphor and yeah the last stretch stops trusting you to connect the dots which bummed me out, i wanted it to stay in the fog. but the crying. the CRYING. that sound is engineered to scrape something out of you and i'm still a little rattled by it honestly. she said her baby was wrong and everyone told her she was tired. she was right. she's always right”

It's Halloween. There was never a choice.
“Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween Night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again.”
