"I looked in the mirror and what did I see?
It must be alive
A sack, a suit with eyes and a mouth
But my own reflection I've never seen"
Spoilers galore here...
This thing's wild! The poster is quality, but I don't think it gives off the proper vibe that this movie really has. It hints at this unsmiling and sober experience, I was expecting dark, traditional, a monster that slowly butchers nameless tv watchers until the final actโฆ
I've seen Skinamarink three times in nine days; this has become an unrivalled obsession. I've never watched even my favourite movies in such quick succession from one another.
I played it yet again at a sleepy 6 a.m., and just seeing the grainy opening credits had me experience such a strong sense of dread now that I've become accustomed to what's coming. The first 15 minutes are so deceptive, on first viewing they don't feel very warm, everything is shotโฆ
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

The reason Godzilla has remained an icon is because of his cultural significance, he is the culmination of greater powers that we fear.

God: Okay so we're gonna make a movie inspired by 50's giant monster movies but more of a monster comedy, the monsters btw are spiders and the spiders act like gremlins. And would you mind if it takes place in a modern setting while still being reminiscent of the 80's creature features? Oh also the soundtrack will be fucking perfect, how does that sound?
Me: hooly fuck
