    I found this on Youtube and the English subtitles were not the best (several words went untranslated and what was translated wasn't the best translation), but I still think this wouldn't have been my favorite thing even if I had watched it with a better translation.

Oh and the film has kinda already been done between The Menu, Glass Onion, Midsommar, and Blink Twice

I think one of my favorite aspects of the attention to detail in this is the choreography of it all - not just the fight choreography, but the blocking just in general. The way people move together and the way the camera frames or tracks that — it’s just incredible to look at. Every aspect of this movie serves to make the situation feel…
