@Phangurl this guy who basically smashed all expectations with his "low budget" ($3M-$10M estimate) movie #IronLung.

  • Obviously that isn't hard with only the gazillionth reboot, refresh and whatever cinematic universe part released and a shitty propaganda piece that got commented with words like "Leni Riefenstahl was able to frame shots, unlike these people!" that noone watches to get #2 on US movie charts despite being systematically cockblocked and at some point being delisted for angering the #media #oligopoly…

In fact a cinema ~25km away from my place here in NRW screened it as it was completely booked out when I wanted to get a ticket despite being an unrated (= 18+) movie on a weekday night!

I know that I am being off the wave, but I am still happy for the Iron Lung movie to not just turn out fine but receive such the attention <3

I know I'm a month late when Iron Lung was released but I was finally able to watch it yesterday. I found a theater near my place that are showing it.

The seat I picked was in front of the whole crowd lol and yeah I came early. I just didn't expect people would pick the seats at the back

As for the movie, I gotta say it's pretty bloody. It's also very, very slow. Every shot is so detailed. It's good and all, but I'm gonna be honest...

Wow, Iron Lung is just, wow, it was great, if you haven't watched it I'd recommend it, and if you like it I'd recommend watching The Void if you haven't already #IronLung #IronLung #iron_lung #TheVoid #movies #cosmichorror #indiemovie #indiemovies #indiehorror #indiecosmichorror
