I just learned about this! I don’t enjoy Paul tremblay’s writing on a prose or character level but I do really like the ambiguous story constructions, I come away going “someone should do this but make it good” maybe m is the guy

This was much better than I was expecting! It doesn't mess about either! Bam, it gets straight into it. I loved Bautista as the gentle giant.

this was the first M Night movie I liked since Signs. probably because it was someone else's story he adapted.

Hated this. Bautista is admittedly great in it, though

realizing the ending of the book is a lot more nihilistic than the movie

"IT'S REALLY PRESENT DAY!" 10
man fuck y'all
(just watched the village for the first time already knowing the "twist" and uh, it's good?)

i mean the movie is astonishingly beautiful and the twist isn't really a twist so much as like a photograph gradually developing details from the center outward
i also finally saw the visit which is the first found footage film since idk cloverfield that i've found to be legit scary
