… I honestly can’t understand why this is a movie. The very basic initial concept was interesting and then the internet devolved it into middling jump scare horror by adding more and more detail where the entire fucking point was the lack of detail.

An entire movie about a thing that lacks detail? Movies can’t even get Lovecraft right most of the time.

Someone please convince me this is worth a look.

Did you watch the trailer?

It looks like they pulled off the concept and there are at least two people in the cast that give me hope that it is as creepy as the trailer.

Looks mid at best.

I’m not sure if I’m too jaded on Hollywood but it just feels like movies aren’t worth watching as it does nothing actually new.

Remakes, live-action xyz, I don’t know man. This just isn’t interesting.

I’m really glad that indie devs and writers are still kicking ass as mainstream feels like exiting the world of creativity and excitement to slop.

How is this a remake or a “live-action-xywz”?
I’m pretty excited for this, I’m rarely disappointed by anything produced by A24, and I’m especially a fan of their horror and horror-adjacent films. Also pretty cool that it’s directed by the kid who made the first Backrooms short, can’t imagine directing a film while only 20 years old.

hope they can pull this off, it has potential
