This film jogged a memory.
The first time I ever heard my dad say the word fuck was when I had a Furby which had crossed that line into unpredictable insanity that all Furbies do eventually. It wouldn’t shut up unless it was left completely undisturbed. Our plan was to carefully lift it onto a high bookshelf and let that be its final resting place. However my father picked it up by the teal scruff on the top of its head which was NOT the most secure grip, and demon furby fell to the ground with a loud “HUUUUNGRY” escaping its beak. On its way down it also knocked a large canister of colored pencils to add even more chaos.…
did we really need to see a furby masturbate in this
If someone vomits a gallon of blood into someone’s face I have to give at least 3 stars I don’t make the rules
"He's going to rip Christmas a new asshole" - Stooge,
I didn't care for this. That's it.
I would have watched this a whole lot sooner if I had known how fucking dark it is, but y’all didn’t let a ho know! Or you did and I was not paying attention! Probably the latter, but either way this was great!
It seems like there’s definitely a correlation between my mental state and my movie enjoyment. Last week was rough as the worst level of hell. Long story short, a family member is having some mobility and cognitive issues and they moved in with us, which is absolutely what I wanted and I feel better knowing they are here, but wow it happened so fast it’s just been a tough adjustment for everyone and I really wasn’t super…
You never know what Pooka will do!
I wonder how heavy that head was.
The Christmas lights were so beautiful!
As Pooka says, "Pretty lights."
They used a lot of red in this one.
Loved Nyasha's accent.

Wilson is a struggling actor who just moved into his new apartment. Desperate for a job, he takes a gig as a man in a costume. The costume is for a new stuffed animal named Pooka, the bear that repeats what it hears and changes it's tone depending on whether it feels naughty or nice. It's not something to be proud of, but the money is good and he's the only person with the job, the one and only Pooka. Things start improving for him. That is until he starts having visions of Pooka doing terrible things.
Pooka! is a part of Hulu's Into the Dark holiday themed set of original…
Some people are scared of clowns, I’m scared of masturbating mascots
„Into the Dark: Pooka“
Der nächste Eintrag in die Anthologienreihe war überraschend anders und äusserst ansprechend.
Der Spanier Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes) drückt hier seinen europäischen Stempel drauf und kreiert eine atmosphärische, irreale Atmosphäre ohne viel Blutvergiesen.
Ein kleiner, feiner Slow Burner mit einem Ende, welches ich jetzt nicht erwartet hatte und den Film damit, inklusive seiner surrealistisch psychodelischen Einschübe, klar über den Durchschnitt hebt.
Dass mir während des Films ein gewisser Kultklassiker immer wieder eingeschossen ist…..aber seht selbst und seid vorgewarnt:
klarer Fall von „love it or hate it“.

(And I cannot stress this enough)
The
Fuck
Known for his “romcom gone wrong” and a blend of other genres, Nacho joins Hulu for an anthology movie project taking holiday horror to a Sam Esmail level.
Pooka is a social media-era Furby that repeats what you say on his own terms and whenever he feels like it — either by naughty or nice Pooka. An actor takes on the physical form of Pooka (in more ways than one!) and promotes the toy through store appearances as the Real-life Pooka. In his personal life, he meets Melanie and love goes array as he grabbles with his Pooka persona and his real persona in an Enemy-we-are-in-his-head exploration.
The fundamental plot is kind of lame and the artsy mood is done…
This joint was not for me. I personally feel like the movie and its creators think it's way smarter and edgy than it is. I watched this back to back with Christmas Evil, it kind of makes me want to go bump that movie up a star after watching this boring mess.
I was hoping Hulu would pull me into it "Into The Dark " horror movie series with this one. Honestly, I did not ever find this a bit scary. I think I'll be passing on this series.
