shyt is supposed to make 40 mil next week which is the largest opening for any scream flick. I think they’ll be fine

Where's that projection from? I'm in tristate and it's hard to picture a lot of people hitting theaters with most of my friends and fam refusing to do much of anything until Omicron calms down. I'd guess that it's hard to project the money it'll make against the changing numbers of the pandemic.

I was not a fan of The Deep House. Won't say anything further but I just wasn't feeling it.

It was a cool concept, and the setting was great for creepy images and a few nice moments...but there's not much else to it. The backstory is predictable because it's such a massive trope, horror-logic drives the characters from one scare to the next which makes them feel dumb and unrelatable, and the scuba gear takes away any hope for the actors to elevate it beyond spazzing in the water and breathing hard.

It came across paper-thin to me. A really cool idea behind a mediocre movie. The ending was frustrating more than anything, with five minutes of exposition they didn't need because they made the backstory pretty clear through imagery and would have done better keeping some questions for the viewer to decide. It's super "meh" and I am disappoint.

I had plans to take the kids to for a mini-vacay over the holiday but that was cancelled because of the Omegatron variant. I’m not pressed to go out anywhere for social reasons unless essential. My daughter is getting edgy bc normally we do Hershey Park Christmas Candylane, go visit family but that got scrapped; there’s too much risks. I haven’t been more than 10 people in a setting since March 2020. I’m in one of the hardest hit cities/states- not an option to be out and about.

Current watch - seance - shudder. I like it- throwback to the Urban Legend type movies.

I went to a private Catholic junior high school - we had a sleepover/field trip. Idk why it was a thing among white girls to pull out a oujia board like it’s regular shyt. We had Asian, black, Puerto Rican girls there but it was always the white girls wanting us to do weird ouija, seance-y type games. And their parents letting them have occult “games” around the house like it’s normal or for fun. I knew from an early age not to play with that demonic board- told my dad to come pick me back up ASAP. All I know is years later when I was in college - I heard some messed up stories through the grapevine about what happened to the girls participating at the party; always wondered if an evil presence really did latch themselves on to them.

I’m not going to post the series of events (for privacy purposes) bc it made the news headlines; can be easily looked up so I’m not opening up that box bc of how violent/gruesome it was, and the other girls had misfortune in their lives before they were even 25. It’s disturbing sometimes to think in my memory/flashbacks of being chatty laughing little girls getting detention in school together for talking during choir, not knowing their future selves would end up with mental problems, death, and other unfortunate situations. I also think their was a ghost in that school or it was cursed- didn’t help that their was a graveyard in back of the school either. I wonder if this also contributed to my interest in this genre - haunted Catholic school, Nuns, dead priests, German teacher who had us learning German language for whatever reason- hold up, I think I’ve triggered something in my memory that was surpressed typing this out. Wtf

I felt the same way about it. Really cool concept and setting that the filmmakers did nothing interesting with.

Seance was really fun though. It isn't what you'd think from the title or even the trailers.

Facts. I give it a 7/10 only for not believing that the “teenage girls” all looked over the age of 35 and I had to suspend common sense as to why cops didn’t arrive and start an investigation after the first kill. Nevermind the fact that 3 girls are murdered, the administration’s only advice is to go to sleep instead of closing the school - but nope - sleep in their own rooms as if their 3 best friends aren’t getting killed off
