Thanks. Really wish the text wasn’t there, but the black one is sick

Edit: damn, hella expensive lol

 

The score was really good too, it really helped set that constant sense of unease.

 

Reflecting back on this, the scene with Peter just sitting in the car in utter shock after Charlie’s death was probably one of the most effective scenes in the movie. It’s like a shared moment between you and the character, you’re both just sitting there in stunned silence just trying to process what just happened. That was really well done, it’s was so simple but powerful at the same time. Also, seeing Charlie’s head while Annie is just wailing in absolute grief was probably one of the most heartbreaking and upsetting things I’ve ever, ever seen in a movie. Like I’m still upset hours later, it’s just so fucking raw.

 

Lots of people on reddit talking about alternate endings and the fact that the original cut was supposedly almost three hours. Really hope we get a special edition with both cuts for it. I haven't bought a new release in so long but I would have to own that.

 

Mentioned this in the general thread, but also want to here. It occurred to me that this is a lot like if Ordinary People was a horror movie and if no one in that film had any coping skills. Kind of makes me want to watch that again since it’s one of my all-time favorites. I may need to make a list of everything that this made me think of either during or after.

 

i like the current ending way more than the alternate ending I read about.

and this movie is already too long

 

I think it would have raised a lot of questions about plausibility moving forward even without the factor of it being too disturbing. While losing the foreshadowing coming to fruition I think it worked perfectly the way it was. I do wonder if it has a little bit of a Blade Runner thing going on for exposition or if that was always meant to be there.

I know some people have the full script, does anyone know where I can find it now?

 

Someone link the alt ending?

 

Wow. Went into this blind after seeing all the hype and good reviews. Thought it was pretty terrible. Didn’t find it to be very scary or unsettling at all.

 

Lobbying to see this for a second time tonight with my wife and some other friends

 

Peter gouges his eyes out.

 

Ahhh. Not sure how I'd feel about that

 

I don’t know how a three hour cut would work for this movie.

 

What I read said that it was much more of a family drama that becomes a nightmare and less of a horror movie outright than it is now. Probably ramped the slow burn up to eleven. I could have done with more of the whole family together interacting just because I loved them all, but it absolutely makes sense for it to be cut the way it is.

 

Hmmmm that would’ve been interesting

 

it really is a great family film imo

 

Out of curiosity, what are some of your favorite horror films?

 

The cinematography is superb, easily some of the best camera work I’ve seen in a minute. Aster’s got a blank check from me for anything he does next, the man earned it.

I really enjoyed it, it definitely added to the movie by increasing tension in the right spots. Reminds of Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score for Sicario in that regard.

 

he did an interview with channel 33 that said his next one is already in the works and it's "Scandinavian survival horror but really just a character study" similar to how this was a witchy horror but really just a family drama

 

I’m already onboard

 

Please bring me all of the Persona and other Bergman vibes. That sounds amazing.

 

alright I tried to see this last night and both showings (even though I was hours early) were sold out (well had a few random seats but none next to each other) so i saw it today
Honestly it was very perplexing. I like reading back through this thread as it helps to unpack it. I think Toni colette is amazing of course but I knew that going in. I definitely feel a little confused about some things and think the "wrap up" was a little rushed. but overall I agree with most of the acclaim in this thread.
I think it might have been overhyped to me and I had too high of expectations. I still really enjoyed it I guess i was just expecting something mindblowing.
I definitely caught my jaw hanging open several times lol and I jumped a mile when Annie was in the corner downstairs and then lunged to chase Peter
I'd definitely watch it again to examine all the nuance stuff I probably missed. I also spent the whole film thinking that was the other Wolff brother

 

the shot of joan speaking to annie in her apartment but shooting it so you’re only seeing her reflection was really unsettling to me too, one of the more subtle things
