Man when that motherfukker
popped out the back of her head. And they showed that 90’s footage of him and his fukking claws attached to her back

I need to see the meeting they had when they were reading the script for some of these scenes haha

I thought that hospital reveal was great. That was some Cronenberg level body horror right there. But yeah when she turned into Neo/Spider-Man in the 3rd act it got goofy af lol

This movie was pure fukkery. I can see why it’s so divisive. You either get the tone or you don’t but what I respect about the film is they kept the tone consistent throughout

what I’m trying to figure out is

was he psychic? Did he have enhanced powers? How did he do the separate phone calls to the detectives while he was still attached to her body? It was that all in her head? There were some inconsistencies as far as how the whole thing worked

In the opening credits, they said he could control electricity or cause electrical interference in objects. It’s also the reason why in the beginning the hospital workers said the electric zaps started to have no effect on him and he could turn on the tv’s

This movie was horrible but the ending was hilarious and kinda awesome. Worst acting I’ve ever seen in a studio film. The campiness just didn’t work for me. James wan to me is just too talented to do camp. Could’ve made this legitimately scary and insane I think.

this was just an updated version of

:lolbron:

i denno if i was supposed to be laughing at certain scenes (i think i was the only one laughing in my theater..)
like when the "twist" is finally revealed...the reveal was comical...but that prison fight was :gladbron:

or at the end when Gabe is pushed back in and Maddie's head unsplits...i chuckled pretty loudly

or when reginia exclaims imaginary friend then the music swells...:russ: at that

It was like Craven, Raimi, and then Argento rolled into one. Probably would’ve got more movies like this even earlier had Dead Silence turned out successful.

Ever since then it feels like Wan has tried to keep this side of him hidden from the mainstream audience.

I think if I was expecting camp I would've liked this better, I wasn't expecting it to be really scary, but fukk the acting was sooo bad.
