Seeing Thursday

This really is the case for basically any new popular horror movie nowadays, not sure why

hype

It's all opinion too and people going to have differing opinions always lol people praise Hereditary and to me it's just solid...people say Longlegs was overrated but I really dug it and still do

because of the new embargo timeline that studios have adopted when rolling out movies.

1st wave: they let influencers and horror creators watch the movie and post social media reactions to go viral/stir up hype.

these are an easier crowd since they're not critics and they're just fans. they are also hype to get invited, excited about the exclusivity. they can post negative reviews but these people are chosen to generate positive reviews and often will
----> 'scariest film in years, i was terrified, a truly horrifying experience'

2nd wave: critics, outlets, other reviewers watch it and post full reviews. these people aren't primed to enjoy it because its just another movie to them, and may even be primed against it because they're watching it in the wake of all the hype generated from 1st wave

----> 'its okay, not great not bad'

3rd wave: normal people and general audiences watch it opening weekend
---> 'shit sucked'

Major let down

Save your time and skip this

The hype for this felt EXACTLY like Longlegs

Early reactions are “omg the scariest horror theatrical experience I’ve ever had, I was shaking by the end of it”

Just feels like a lot of overreactions and overhype

it’s a lot better than longlegs, but also the kind of movie you’ll only really enjoy in theaters

alrwsdy made plans for it tom so too late but you usually right about these typa things

damn i’m going w my friend who fell asleep and started snoring loud asl 30 min into long legs too

hopefully this isn’t as boring for him

I enjoyed it

a bit of a drag at some parts but for the most part i liked it

When they kept going “we will listen to the rest of the files in 3 business days”

on that front tho yeah it was overhyped lmao. didn’t see most of the hype tho

yeah that’s when it lost me a little lol but it did pick up near the third act tho

also the girl lead looked too much like claire from the bear lmao it was tripping me out

Mamá type s***

!

i had fun but we really need these indie studios to stop with the Longlegs marketing playbook for their horror movies it’s tired

is it at least entertaining like weapons?

weapons wasn’t scary at all but at least it was entertaining

long legs was just besides like the first 10 minutes

i think it’s somewhat entertaining but it’s def a slow build to a “payoff” at the end. longlegs definitely got to the action faster. idk how i felt about it right now. i’m gonna go again tomorrow probably
