Unexpectedly amazing. An underrated must watch

super trippy movie, feels oddly familiar.
“grotesque cow” 🐮 was my favorite line lol. mike flanagan never misses with his work.

I haven’t watched a Mike Flanagan project that I didn’t walk away amazed by. He has obvious signatures, but things don’t feel repetitive. This movie was amazing from the plot to the acting to the cinematography. His use of foreshadowing always gets me. The actors in this movie-

Pretty good. Cliche in the beginning. Really picked up in the second half. I loved the parallels and flashbacks to their childhood. The kids were the highlight of the movie for me; their acting was great. The end was sad and made me tear up. Not scary. Great twists. Enjoyed it!

karen gillan is a phenomenal actor but this was underwhelming on the second watch. a great haunting story but kinda falls short w explanation and a pretty shitty predictable ending. knocked down from love to like 7/10

poor kaylie

The whole movie has you questioning whether each action was real or a manipulation by the mirror. Amazing ending and a good rewatch due to the easter eggs

That ending still traumatized me

6.9

dragged asf

6/10

7.9/10
this was awesome - came out of nowhere and absolutely blew me away with the horror and the success of the nonlinear storytelling that they were able to pull off in this film - karen gillian was phenomenal and i really was just amazed at how they were able to tie the ending together

7/10 it’s a very fun watch. Cool concept, and I loved the parallel time lines showing both paths. Not as good as i remembered it, I thought it was super scary back when it first came out

honestly really good not on the scary part since it wasn’t really scary but yea

I too have a bad time when I look into a mirror

8/10

This is a mind bending and difficult film to understand but it was enjoyable. Was trying to grasp what was happening the entire time but the twist was so so. Good movie that seemed like an unsolvable puzzle both for the audience and the cast.

5/5
