    “Why is this old man giving me Johnny Knoxville vibes?” - a real thing I said to myself during this movie.

    Fantastic, creative, energetic, elemental, and so so so good.

    I’m a little hung up on the ‘Johnny Knoxville’ of it all, though.

    If this film were a piece of furniture, it would be a grandfather clock - every piece of it is intentional, everything serves a purpose, everything is lovingly crafted, and a few times an hour it makes a loud fucking noise and something pops out at you for no goddamn reason. 
    Sparse jump scares aside, this is a modern classic.

    "Lowen? Lowen?"
    Just about completely unbearable. 
    The film follows dream logic, so I can't fault it for not being cohesive or narratively satisfying, but at a certain point the film is so devoid of any kind of conflict or consequence that the boredom will kill you.

    I'm a ghost btw. 

    P.S.
     The kid is the best actor in the bunch, but crabman was by far the funniest.
