SoberChef Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I am stunned at both myself & those here that also enjoy these types of films, to not have a thread about it yet! Saw this over last weekend and WOW! What a fantastic way to showcase loss, the yearning for desperate reconnection, interesting family dynamics, a whole new way to come at this type of sub-genre. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since Sunday. Please, if you're trying to see something, take a chance on this. The opening sets the tone for the film to come & the stakes couldn't be higher. I hope you all enjoy if you get the chance to see it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 My wife has had a fear of hands since she was a kid. Not normal everyday hand stuff. More like if you wanted to prank her, you could have a hand pop up unexpectedly somewhere, then she will lose her shit. I showed her the trailer but she only lasted about halfway through. I look forward to seeing it eventually though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it was an episode of Hey Dude! on Nickelodeon. I ended up finding the episode a few years ago on Amazon and it’s super tame. It just scarred her young child mind. “s02e06 Ghost Stories”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 The way this opens, the fact that they shot essentially a short film to fill in that back story, really hope it's going to be put onto the physical release of this film!

SoberChef Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Was having a convo w/ my buddy who went to see this with me, we're in agreement that we NEED a life size sculpt of that hand. My crazy idea was to have A24 make their own limited special edition where the hand is life size, encased in glass. Have the discs for the film in a cardboard pull out sleeve case at the bottom of the encased hand, wherein the discs are NOT in that wack ass cardboard sleeve per page, but the plastic push button release style. OK maybe I went a bit overboard, or perhaps I should work in marketing, either way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of teenagers behind me that kept talking which kind of dampered the experience though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 That's when you turn around and politely ask them to be quiet for the movie, if they relent & continue on, get a refund from the theater then. I'll absolutely shout down someone using a cell phone in a theater while the movie is playing, that is heresy of the highest kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always want to, but don't want to risk missing something on screen lol. The movie was free anyway because I get free passes from my work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 solid flick, be interested to see what they do with a sequel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Watched it last night. I liked it, but felt it was a little thin overall and that the ending sort of throws the rest of the movie into question. Spoiler So Mia dies and immediately becomes a wandering spirit just like everyone else. We see the weird afterlife she’s in which is just nothing, save for the summoning candle and table with an outstretched hand. If that’s the case, what is going on with everything else? The Mia we see being summoned is clearly just Mia, not some weird evil doppelgänger. There’s no demonic presence moving her or urging her to do anything. Who or what is the thing possessing everyone and making them evil and violent? If the people pulled in by the hand are real dead souls, what is the pit of torment we see Riley in? At sone point it all kind of just crumbles on itself. It’s still a good watch and Wilde’s performance is really captivating, but the core premise just doesn’t hold together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it too but agree with your points. They're making a sequel which will probably elaborate on the questions you have regarding the mythology and world building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I thought it it as something that you still want to watch for little "ooh that was cool" moments, not necessarily because the plot is particularly compelling. I watched it in theaters and I kind of forgot what it was about halfway through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I just chalked it up to the horror trope that some ghosts are violent/the longer they've been dead the more hostile they become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
