Just a hunch but I think you will really enjoy it

It's female heavy. He will enjoy it.

And I don't feel it was worth sitting through two hours to get to. Interesting premise, a couple good gore scenes, a couple genuine laughs. That's all I got.

Show me this scooter.

I mean she has to set up a fucking sledgehammer that weighs twice what she does, it would probably take me like 2 hours to set all that shit up. Then I got to fall asleep, pull that motherfucker out, yeah, it's gonna be a long night damnit, not no 20 friggin minutes. Still dope though.

That's among my biggest gripes of modern movies. Adds to the already cartoony feel of modern flicks. Doesn't feel as real when it's half a cartoon.

And it's a legit gripe too. Not only do you have to fidget with TV setting to hopefully get a "best" version, but if you see it in theaters, you easily risk a screening that isn't using the brightest setting to save on power.

I can never find an audio balance either. New movies rely on jump scares and it feels like they intentionally have quiet dialog to make you crank the volume.

i feel like it has to be more than jump scares because it's done that way in most movies and tv shows. not just with horror. i think the biggest gripe about it has been with christopher nolan and he hasn't done a horror yet. but he should.

Yet I never really notice it with Chris Nolan movies, but it's definitely beyond just jump scares/horror that are guilty of this.

Here's a good video explaining why audio's fucked in new movies.

I'm annoyed. It wasn't awful, but for most of the runtime I was just left wondering why the fuck is this in the horror section, and even when it got weird (well, weirder) I think it tried leaning into a Lynch style horror-adjacent than fully diving in. I'm counting it out of stubbornness, but I don't recommend for others.

There's Something In The Barn was entertaining as hell though. Was surprised it was Rated R, but I guess they got an extra "fuck" in there or something that kicked it over the line.
