So uh yea, super super dope movie. I had a group in the theater that were shit talking it after they were coming out behind me, but I get it. It's not the typical big horror movie, I counted literally one jump scare which I love because jump scares are the absolute cheapest when it comes to horror most of the time. And it's not even a SCARY movie per se, the one word I think describes it best is "unsettling" which I really like.

First off, major props to the movie for killing Charlie off so early, the marketing made it look like a typical "mother and girl are connected, girl sees shit, they are the last two left at the end in some fashion". And that's such a horrid way to go out! Didn't even get the quickness of the beheading since she was already choking with her throat closing up.

And man that ending. I think for some people (like the group in my theater who were shit talking after) it would come off as cheesy and dumb, but I thought it was really effective. It was sort of surreal and somewhere I read said it was Lynch-esque, and I really dig that description. Bringing Charlie's head back, damn.

I think in hindsight the "twists" are pretty obvious but honestly I think that's ok. Eagle eyed viewers will guess it from clues and cues but I think the conclusion is satisfying enough to make that alright. Personally I was a little later to the twist that I think some other people might be, although I knew something was up with that Joan obviously. It was working out too well with the seance and everything.

I could keep going but I'm on mobile so I can expand later when I'm home, but yea I HIGHLY enjoyed it. And I think the more I think about the movie and let it settle after seeing it, the better it actually gets which is really nifty and I appreciate.
