It kind of reminded me of this French film in the early 00s called A Friend Like Harry
I laughed when they were stoned to death. I bought in to all the other times suspension of belief was required, but that was the final straw. Good movie, but holy shyt lmfao it went from well-written horror to straight up comedy in the final moments.
Will watch and report back if overhyped.... 
These fukkaz went back for a fukkin stuffed bunny.... 
Will watch and report back if overhyped....
Def overhyped... Lame.. Purposeless flick..... Don't waste your time watching...

This a weak ass movie
I saw a screener for the remake.
As per usual, Hollywood b*stardized the OG for a quick money maker. They completely undermined its themes, and it's the reason why they repackaged the ending, which ironically was the entire point of the original film.
I'm not surprised at all by this. Lowkey figured they'd do some weak shyt like that.
I best avoid the shyte Studio de Hollywood nonsense.
I admire the OG’s willingness to go through with the controversial ending, but the journey to such point is so ridiculous to sit through. I imagine it would be even harder on rewatch, and knowing the intended satire behind these actions. Totally get the move by Blumhouse/Watkins to change up the remake in that regard. Most parents are not going to be oblivious to every red flag presented to them. That’s a hard sell to just about any audience these days and especially Americans. There comes a point where action will be taken after knowing your child is in danger.
The flick is still unnerving af though, thanks in large part to McAvoy’s performance. I admired the fact that it had the parents fighting back in the end, even the sissy ass father. Part of me wanted to see if the film would kill them off anyway, but we didn’t get that.
I can see more people willing to rewatch this knowing how it unfolds. OG’s gut punch ending, while impactful, makes it a ‘hit it and quit it’ type of flick for most folks.
