I feel like I almost understood this movie for the first 2 hours and then I lost it all in the last 30 minutes, but I throughly enjoyed it!! Even the parts I didn't get!! How exciting to get to try and figure it out!!
I also got to watch for the first time on the big screen at Naro!!!!! RIP David Lynch, you freaky motherfucker.

SUPER disappointed.
I had a lot of hope for this, especially as a super Scream fan, but it just did not do it for me. I don't know why new horror has such a fascination with really shitty actors & bad scripts, but if I have to hear one more "Gen-Z" "fanfiction" "kids today love iPhones" line I'm just going to write off new horror all together.
The magic of the originals is that they are meta without shoving every detail in…

This movie does a very good job of blending together the best parts of horror movies, specifically in the first act with the lighting & the jump scares & the tracking shots. I do feel that it gave itself away A LOT with the "her memories—are deep in the back of her head" type dialogue it had, and the dollhouse shot in the beginning I feel like symbolized someone else was controlling her from the jump, but all in all it was well done and did what it was supposed to do. Welcome back to horror, James Wan.
