Bumped for coli Halloween thread reprisal season. #Neverforget

Shudder is a horror necessity. As a start up service years ago they lacked content bc it basically consisted of old content and recycled movies that An avid horror watcher has viewed but they’ve vastly improved since the early days. The “Originals” have been consistent. Definitely Shudder >>> Netflix, Hulu. Hulu is good for horror tv series. Netflix for intl horror programming.I'm a fraudall this time I thought Shudder was some bargain bullshyt with obscure movies, come to find out this is more needed for me than Hulu
I was watching an ad on an old Double Toasted and seeing the names on the site had me like

Gave this joint a try and it's got some good and bad to it. Behind the Trees: While on a romantic getaway in the Indian wilderness, a couple from Los Angeles accidentally witnesses the haunting exorcism of an 11-year old girl. They decide to rescue her.

This one did a pretty strong job of building tension and mystery, the director is patient and that helps ratchet up the suspense in certain scenes. They introduce the little girl and she gives a bit of background in the form of stories that feel like urban legends "I'll tell you why you should never look behind you when you're walking through a forest..." type of stuff. She does this a couple of times and they were some of my favorite moments. They're subtle as hell, hinting at something menacing at the conclusion but not giving you the payoff away. Instead you get half the story now and the promise of a pay off later when situations are revisited.
But the patience also has drawbacks. We get ten or fifteen minutes of a romance to establish the main characters and when I say that, I mean that there's virtually nothing scary at all to start the movie off. Instead we get the start of what could be a romantic drama and then a hard pivot into the exorcism plot mentioned on the synopsis. That kinda thing can add layers to a story but it never ties back to the horror elements at all.
My other complaint, and it's one that could impact how people view the movie at the end of the day, is that the payoffs don't live up to the build-up. Like I said, there are some really nice suspenseful moments in this movie. The tension hits some legit high points, but I expected more from the actual reveals because the director did such a good job leading into them. I wanted some clever new angles to the story or a big cathartic scare. The movie doesn't land either of those; it's predictable and the big moments feel small in comparison to the time invested in them.
That really sucks too, because this feels like it got close with a lot of aspects. It's set in India and visually they kill it. But the characters don't get enough depth for the amount of time invested in them and the scares never reach a highpoint despite a steady creepy tone. It got close enough that I felt inclined to give it a write-up though...it coulda really hit.

I have no idea. Saw it while browsing Horror Twitter.TF is this

To quote the Coli, you poured so much jelly on yourself
Calm down Mr. McFly - give @kdslittlebro the leverage, at least he admitted that he had an enlightening moment and has officially shown an appreciation for the genre and shudder broadcasting. Let him feel free to join our discussions; everyone moves at their own pace
@kdslittlebro a few more official questions - have you watched Devil’s Rejects? how do you feel about Halloween -2007, RZ remake? “3 From Hell” is currently airing in Shudder btw. Whose your favorite horror content creator/director? And from the Scream franchise - are you team Sydney or Kirby?
( No pressure, Take your time. just asking for a friend)
