    The definition of flummoxed in the Cambridge English dictionary is “so confused that you do not know what to do”

    I am flummoxed

    ★★★★

    A character has a triumphant return at the end of the movie, and I was appalled. Truly shocked. The main character spent the entire movie getting over him and I had just forgotten about him, and I’m supposed to just accept this ending? I’m shaking with rage and confusion

    Notable sequences/things:

    - stop motion zombie rat
    - Lionel’s mother falling apart
    - fight scene between zombies and the priest, in which he “kicks ass for the lord”
    - Lionel taking a zombie baby to the park, attempting to play with it like a normal baby, and ultimately body slamming it into the ground, shoving it in a bag and leaving. 
    - every single thing that happens in the last 30 minutes, it’s perfect 
    - also every single use of practical body horror throughout 

    ALSO there’s no way that the director of The Substance was not heavily influenced by the end of this.

    The Necro Files

    ½

    This is an example of a secret midnight screening gone horribly wrong. 

    This movie went so far beyond “watch it with your friends” kind of bad, and didn’t circle back to “so bad it’s good” territory. 

    It just kept going to in a straight line for another couple miles until it got to “I would rather close my eyes and try to sleep than let my brain absorb this film”

    1/2 star for the fact that Sierra didn’t come with me and at least one of us can say they haven’t seen The Necro Files.
