This looks like it could be the next great horror movie

Good prediction. I noticed a lot of my friends discovered it on HBO Max last month and I think that's great. This movie deserves some props.

That neighborhood was way too f*cked up to stay in

Bro I was there when I was a little kid so there were still some white folks around, we used to play in front of burned down houses like it was normal. This is back when Devil's night was still a thing. I look back at that shyt like wtf and glad as hell my folks moved closer downtown.

I didn't know this movie had it's own thread. I did a search here back in mid-September after I went and saw it, and couldn't find anything about it. Like I said earlier, it was pretty good for a movie I heard nothing about. I'm glad it didn't turn into some bed-wench thing, like I thought it was about too, although she went overboard risking her life for those two White dudes.

I also thought it did a good job showing a modern version of how numb and outta touch society has gotten over the years, when dealing with real people.

why people still doing spoilers?

Why you so inconsiderate?

Why you so inconsiderate?

not really inconsiderate, it's not in theaters anymore

the general rule around these parts is like 2-3 weeks after release to have spoilers...after that it's fair game, especially by the time it hits streaming

if you reading the thread before seein the movie...and the movie been out...that's on you.


now if you in the BP 2 thread without spoiler tags that's different.

Just finished this on hbo max


None of these crackers own guns

The problem with this movie is it got hyped too much. Horror movies that get hyped tend to end up mid. Having said that, this is a good one time watch. Typical horror, characters making dumb decision after dumb decision, dark corridors, creepy mystery etc.

I think the end was very lazy and wtf but horror fans and casual horror fans will dig this for what it is. People expecting a revolutionary horror movie need to leave those expectations in their own dungeon before entering this one.

6/10

Definitely overrated, but a good one hitter quitter.

I had no clue about this movie and walked into it blind.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. Glad I didnt read any hype.

Loved it. My favourite horror film of the year. Funny and scary. I completely bought the red herring. Thought Skarsgard was a bad guy up until his death

exactly. I see it like if you didn't go see this while it was in theaters for a month you don't care about spoilers. This movie had a nationwide release in regular theaters not even the arthouse type of places. People was talking like it premiered the week of streaming.

Finally saw this. I put it off cuz the trailer didn’t make it look interesting. Totally didn’t see the twist coming. I was watching the first act like “ These nikkas put the whole movie in the trailer.”

With that being said… the poor decisions made by Justin Long and the mixed chick took me out of the movie. Too many scenes where they should’ve just bounced.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

the horror genre doesn't exist without a suspension of disbelief. Also part of what makes the horror genre is people making dumb decisions.

Good horror movies are grounded in realistic choices. I do like that this movie attempted to answer the “why wouldn’t she just leave?” question in the beginning. Keith acknowledged that he could come off as a killer/rapist. Tess was still googling hotels and had the before finally trusting him.

But Keith INSISTING that she stay and her obliging was where they lost me.

People make dumb decisions in real life too. Everybody don't have common sense.

this aint even the first movie where 2 people getting double booked at an airbnb.


this one ended up being a romance.

 

[LinusCaldwell]
