The performance of "Darling's" victim bothered me. It was definitely stylish,but the plot itself was lacking and didn't really go anywhere.

It feels too safe and familiar. This film doesn't feel safe at all. It feels so bizarre it's dangerous. Insanely creepy. The incredible lead performance didn't hurt either.Daniel Eplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866855763520017556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-43982935628941712572016-04-15T19:46:41.861-05:002016-04-15T19:46:41.861-05:00Well, yeah, watched Holidays.

I'll just say some of these filmmakers have done some of my favorite films over the past 6 years (The Midnight Swim was in my top five of last year) (*her's was my fav til the end) so I was really excited - I was not happy with the result.

Hate. it. <br /><br />MORE SPOILING--> <br /><br />And totally, I got the goat talking and was still on board. I guess I just got annoyed with the reveal of all the naked dancing ladies in the woods, because I was so into the idea that she was just losing it after having been the only sane character for the top three quarters of the movie. I can totally see your point, though, like it was sort of a twist on a twist. I just love me an unfulfilling ending, haha. <br /><br />Cait Cannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-72246510943057016252016-04-12T11:02:24.509-05:002016-04-12T11:02:24.509-05:00The more I think about The Witch the more it gets ...The more I think about The Witch the more it gets closer to being an all timer for me. It is very possible that I see so much Horror that it's really, really rare for something to not cheapen the film for me in some way and The Witch didn't at all. I was IN IT the entire time, drenched in the atmosphere. I actually LOVE the ending. I love that it went for it. A lesser film would have left it ambiguous. I was literally saying in my head -<br /><br />SPOILERS - DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE WITCH<br /><br />"If this fucking goat talks this might be the best movie ever" and then - the goat f-ing spoke! I couldn't believe it committed as much as it did. <br /><br />Anyway, the Darling stylistic choice that made me cringe and is one of my least favorite things ever was the stupid "Jacobs Ladder" shaky head/body shit. I HATE IT. They even pulled it in Goodnight Mommy during the forest dream sequence and it sucked me out of the mood it had established almost immediately. I beg that filmmakers stop using this.

I was SO on board with The Witch until the end, where I felt it was too quick of a solution—as though they needed to wrap it up and that was the neatest way to do it. Darling kept me in the dark in a way that grew my expectations naturally and beckoned a second watch. And like, maybe a third later... I really enjoyed having had questions at the end, but also didn't really care if they get answered or not.<br />Also I THINK I may know what you're talking about stylistically and super agree if we're on the same page.Cait Cannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-45748007840821619892016-04-12T06:27:45.616-05:002016-04-12T06:27:45.616-05:00And intruders started the year for indie Horror an...And intruders started the year for indie Horror and was really good.Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-37860555933123222642016-04-11T23:50:06.280-05:002016-04-11T23:50:06.280-05:00I forgot about Southbound!I forgot about Southbound!Brent Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741998097323944343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-45251427352689796332016-04-11T23:26:53.887-05:002016-04-11T23:26:53.887-05:00As a matter of fact, I'm gonna watch it right ...As a matter of fact, I'm gonna watch it right now!Luke Cianciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341348650523272729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-4017573611538796222016-04-11T23:24:10.180-05:002016-04-11T23:24:10.180-05:00I'll definitely be checking this out.
