shut up!
I don’t even think I have the patience to write all the ways this movie makes me feel. it has such a raw, emotional magnetism that is sustained well beyond the credits. this movie had me thinking long and hard about the relationship between psychology (obv neurodivergence and the impact of trauma in particular) and society (on the whole).
I won’t…
i don’t give a FUCK this movie will go down in history as one of the most iconic franchises and despite a serious read of this movie being that it’s utter nonsense (re: my rating), the series starts off with a CLASSIC which will go on to invent the teen vampire/werewolf genre. this movie put that shit on the map within mainstream media. my arms are always open for this heinous love triangle. sue me
nostalgic as fuck… reminiscent of a time we could only imagine the world to be only as big as our hometown. rip river phoenix
