here for it

 

Damn this looks good!!

 

Yep, an A24 film, haha

 

big pic pod has mentioned this one several times as one to watch out for this year

 

Looks good

 

On one hand, it's another "creepy rich people doing some weird stuff in an undisclosed location" movie. But it looks good

 

What are other examples of this? The Menu, and...?

 

Blink Twice for sure. Cuckoo too. Arguably Glass Onion but that's obviously not horror.

 

I'll give you Blink Twice, I don't think Cuckoo fits though

 

early sundance reviews are… not the best. damn

 

Yeah, was gonna say the same thing

 

I’ll still be watching just for Ayo.

 

Definitely, I still like the premise/trailer/cast

 

Digital on April 1st

 

wow

 

Why is everything going to VOD in 2-3 weeks now? And why do they keep revealing this information on the literal release date of the film?

 

Nobody revealed or reported that information. I found the listing for it myself.

 

I guess that answers the 2nd part, but I mean, the information is out there somewhere. So the studio or whoever has pre-emptively decided to put the film on streaming only 2 weeks after its release without any real indication of how it will perform at the box office.

 

I think it might be a contractual thing at this point. At least that's the only sense I can make out of it. Even movies that are doing well at the box office have quick turnarounds. So they must've decided this well in advance and can't back out now. And they keep doing it, so I guess it's working for them? It's just killing the theater industry.

 

Yeah, it's just this part.

I have AMC A-List and love seeing things in the theater, but with things leaving so quickly, I miss a lot so I'm kind of considering dropping the subscription with how quick I can just watch from home now.

 

Bummed about the reviews for this, anyone see it?

 

It's not showing at my local Odeon cinema unfortunately

 

the only people ive seen say anything positive are the hosts of big picture, who are friends of the director. probably gonna skip until it's digital
