I know I say this a lot, but Scary Movie 6 is genuinely the worst thing I’ve seen in a cinema. Sold-out screening with zero laughs. Since all horror is meta now, it literally just plays like a Scream movie, albeit with more transphobia
Obsession/Backrooms is a really fun moment in culture, especially considering it might be the last good time we have before the hardest summer of our lives
Robert Pattinson on the delay of ‘THE BATMAN: PART 2’ production:
“I’m like, ‘Well, I’ll do another movie in between,’ And then I ended up doing fucking a lot of movies.”

Having seen both films, I noticed they both tackle themes of loneliness which is increasingly relevant in a post Covid social media saturated world.
The success of both of them says a lot about what the younger generation is feeling.
The Hansen story is such a nightmarish, perverse artifact of its age of mass media that any truthful telling would be like a modern Videodrome and there's no way-- ah. I see.
It’s the framing of Pattinson coming down the stairs like a predator closing in on its prey that just has me gassed as fuck for this movie and what it looks like it’s getting into. Cannot wait for this shit.
a 26 year old directors theatrical debut horror film just surpassed a fucking star wars movie at the domestic box office and retook the #1 spot do you guys realize how insane this is
After finally watching Obsession I am bewildered by all the discourse that’s been happening. Frankly, Curry Barker made a great movie that best reflects the struggles of our current dating culture where people are unwilling to take steps to get to know each other and develop natural relationships, instead choosing to skip the process with shortcuts and force something that could have been there anyways by being emotionally honest, direct and patient. What’s impressive is how the film avoids your typical horror tropes or cliches by using suspense meaningfully through purposeful blocking, silhouettes, dim lighting and sound than cheap tricks. It allows the horror and even comedy to work in places that wouldn’t normally work.
But of course the real star of this movie is Inde Navarrette who makes herself known with a crowning performance that you hardly see in horror anymore. Emotionally vulnerable and physically deranged that can really overwhelm you from her sickly presence and impress vocal range alone. Bear’s issue is simple, he struggles to be honest with his feelings and mistakenly jumps a lot of hoops to wish for what he wants when he could have got it if he wasn’t so careless and obsessed himself.
