insane stuff for a first time 20 year old director. a really weird, offbeat film that i mostly rocked with. whenever it went full vhs, found footage style the movie was peak. i appreciated that Kane didn’t go for paint-by-numbers jump scares and really wanted to give depth to the world and characters.

 i think the big flaw of the film is having so much revolve around the characters backstories, it really made it bloated. it’s a slow film already…

god what a creatively packed film. every frame an overindulgence of color, every couple minutes a new gag, the film never stops being interesting. i love its mashup of tone and themes, with some of the best bits i’ve seen in a while. it almost reaches sinners level of creative inspiration for totally different reasons. i think what holds it back is its cartoon logic can be so absurd that i feel arm’s length with the film and its characters.…

i love that it’s getting so much buzz and well deserved acclaim! i keep thinking about it and this second watch was great.

 SOME SCARES STILL FUCKING GOT ME

i think the first act is a bit clunky, mostly/all purpose i’m sure, still good stuff but it really finds its footing by act 2 and doesn’t stop. otherwise i love this script so much, it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, just does a simple premise superbly, with a unique angle that’s actually fucking scary.
