i watched it. . . but come on. . . this was too cring.
Delicious! Plenty of familiar genre faces to love, so between that and its shoutouts to stuff like nosferatu and salem's lot, it's always comfy to settle in with a movie made by people who love horror as much as we do. I could go on, but I'll just say, Bonnie Aarons asking "why do you always think in terms of what other people want?" is going to echo in my spicier dreams for a long, long time.
i liked it a lot. started out very serious, but got into a comedy feeling once she changed, which i enjoyed although wasn’t expecting. there’s speculation in the reviews about it being feminist/democrat or whatever, but it shows two sides of the story. granted, the main character is anne, so we do see more of her. the movie does show the good and bad side of the husband and wife, then how they are attempting to reconcile and adapt to their marriage going forward. a good watch as far as i’m concerned (:
Must watch! A little bit more horror and a little bit more comedy would make it a 5/5 horror comedy, but it's perfectly servicable as is.
The way that everyone was just so chill about it all lmao
