    The song that the Bloodshots were listening to was pretty cool. Otherwise… yikes!

    Although this beautiful brain boofer is only 94 min long, if I’m showing it to a friend or loved one, I usually try to set aside about 194 min to discuss and dissect afterward.

    I’m certainly a sucker for any caliber of time travel movie, from Primer to Time Crimes, but this one is something special.

    It’s also one of those movies you really want to go into blind, so skip the trailer if you want your capacitor truly fluxed.

    They just, flat out, got it right.

    I love the Freelings. I’d watch a movie about the month leading up to their house geist. Aside from the great performances and practical fx, the fact that the script and pacing allow us to fall in love with them before they start getting poltered is what makes the story so special. Oh, and the fact that this movie was cursed as hell! Look it up!

    House clean thyself, am I right?

    What an amazing and underrated gem.

    It’s somehow able to emphasize and satirize therapy/enlightenment while keeping the tone funny and light. It’s a ‘something new every time I watch it’ kinda movie. Every actor is doing the lord’s work… even when they’re screaming and crying behind the scenes.

    I also just realized that on paper this movie sounds like a gritty psychological thriller, what with the chainsaws and bodybags and cerebral detectives and all… now I want a Fincher Huckabees.
