Watched this movie for the first time during lockdown and it was the single most stressful movie I've ever seen in my life. Like from minute one. So good.
@regularaugust I made a tik tok video on Elfen Lied where I very casually mentioned that I don't like Elfen Lied very much and the majority of comments are people telling me to KMS and that I have no taste so I fear this has already happened

Asmongold claps back after Stavros Halkias says he gets no p-ssy
"Shut up fatty.. So many men that are leftist use it as a mating technique.. They don't actually believe any of this sh-t.. They just say it because it's a good way to get women to like them."
"I don't have a girlfriend, maybe in the future I will.. They're simps.. It's all about having s-x with women.. It's kind of sad, really.. I don't like talking about relationships.. I don't need to prove anything."
Categorically one of the most criminally underseen horror movies this decade, genuinely one of the best we've had but no surprise no one talks about it since it was unceremoniously dumped on Disney+ with next to no marketing. Go in blind, you'll have a great time, trust me.
If you haven't watched 86: Eighty-Six then now really is the time. A timely story, nuanced characters, a heart swelling romance, good action, high stakes, it really does have it all.
@BrockBaker Could you please post that video of the Pooh puppet with the iconic "only the blood of the innocent can quench" line? I think about it often.
Honestly crazy that Patches voice actor, in all iterations of the character, is voiced by a guy who was in such British TV staples like Holby City and Casualty
Like Requiem is a great example of this. You'll have a great horror sequence with Grace followed by a dramatic scene of her mothers murder only to have Leon going "heh, I'm not on the menu" five minutes later. Like Cregger has proven himself capable of balancing tone and intent.
Not to belabour the point either but I think Weapons is a great example of why Cregger got the Resi job. Weapons is a movie with memorable characters, it's scary, often very funny and corny and dramatic. All of those elements are basically just Resi to a T (virus).
All I'm saying is creative liberties aren't a bad thing so long as the heart and soul are there and from this measly little teaser trailer its clear Cregger gets Resi more than anyone else who's touched it recently. Let my man cook.
The Resident Evil trailer takes are super fucking annoying to me. We have a 1:1 Resi adaptation and its so bad it actually makes the Paul W.S. Anderson movies look good by comparison.
And yes I'm aware the Resi Netflix show and the Anderson movies took massive creative liberties but those adaptations don't have the spirit, tone or atmosphere of their source material at all, not a single fucking iota.
