KEKOA SHAW.

That's it.

That's the post.

Posting about it is the only thing keeping me sane/engaged.

Cool that ERZ (Electro Rob Zombie) made it a point to buy a smoke machine for his lair.

He's not that bad man. Come on. Get a grip dude lol. And it's Seattle, it's always that smokey and what not. lol

This is some of the worst lighting I've ever seen in a studio movie. At night, there's either a giant spotlight or big neon sign just outside of every window, no matter the location. And no matter time of day, everything has a harsh, digital, washed out look that somehow makes it appear as if someone's video taping a stage play. I forgot that parts of Aquaman inexplicably did this too. Guess it's James Wan's signature.

I was about to say...all of his movies do that in parts. They all have that neat smokey spooky scene, they all have acting that borders on melodrama if not doesn't fit the tone of the scene. They all are filmed in an old house. Oddly it's part of why those movies work so well. I really liked the chances he took in directing this flick. Like the top down shots of her in her home, the over the top violence, the...well you'll see. I love movies that just go for it, knowing it's going to rip them from the easily digestible for all to bizarre niche.

Alright, had to take a break and get ready for bed. Settling in for the final 45 minutes. This better be worth it…

In my defense, I was really high.

What years did these fellow female jailbirds come from? Why are they each such horrible, laughable stereotypes from seemingly different eras, all in the same jail cell?

What is happening?

Is James Wan an alien?

There's no way a human person made this movie.

That was incredibly dumb.

I've never felt sorrier for an actress than I do right now for Annabelle Wallis.

What are bones?

How are joints?

This movie may very well have killed my passion to be a filmmaker.

I'm going to bed.

(And you're taking my posts too seriously. I'm just having some fun.)

This was a guillermo del toro film. Masterfully made and being dumb as ****.

I love it.

So did we just say screw spoiler tags on this one?

I ended up making my wife watch it. This movie is a great one to share to watch the other person's reaction.

I think James Wan is great. He isn't a high class filmmaker but he takes a lot of risks that most directors wouldn't even dream of attempting . This whole movie being one of them. Throw back horror movie with intentionally terrible acting, gore and the hilarious twist.

I'm also a big horror movie fan though.

Would a non-horror enthusiast (aka my wife) enjoy the uniqueness of this? She doesn't like horror, but does like watching those types of movies together because it's fun.

Very grindhouse vibes. Was listening to a podcast review and this lady was pointing out all of the influences the movie (in her opinion) was lovingly and accurately recreating

I think so if you clue her into the fact that a 3rd act twist is coming. It isn't very scary but there are some creepy moments and bloody kills early on if that is going to turn her off.

If you get her to hang in there, you'll at least get a great reaction from her at some point haha.

I enjoyed waking up to TC's live posting reaction

You know exactly where he was with that Timberlake gif.

Is it fair to suggest that Annabelle Wallis' child was conceived in the missionary position as opposed to doggy-style

If not, that boyfriend was extremely desperate

I honestly hated this movie. All of these comments have me considering a second viewing to see if I should try with another lens or something.

This thread has grown a lot since I watched it last night. Up to that point, it was mostly glowing reviews which had me really confused watching the movie. I was literally laughing during the reveal at the end. Not sure if that's what he was going for. Maybe me laughing means I was entertained? I don't know. That was...something.

Is the acting INTENTIONALLY bad? Like, is that part of the twist? It's the only thing that would make sense.

I'm surprised it took you this long to realize this. How did the line/reading "It's time to cut out the cancer" two minutes in not clue you in?

Seriously? Come on folks.

No...trust me...I get that.

Were enormous eye rolls really the goal, though?

It seemed as if the final scene was setting up a possible sequel. There is absolutely no way I'm spending another minute watching anything related to this movie now that I know the payoff.

Name one spoiler I posted. I was careful not to post a single revealing thing.
