Hey, just wondering—does Chase even have any branches here in the States?

Unfortunately. It bugs me how Jack Nicholson seems to be stuck in a rut, playing the exact same character over and over... He just isn't trying anymore. It's kind of lazy.

Someone already pointed out that the lead actress is basically carrying the whole movie, and honestly, I can't argue with that. I did dig the scenery, though—those shots of the American wilderness and all that lush greenery were pretty nice🙂. It had the potential to be a total standout if they’d just taken it more seriously. Instead, it felt like they started off strong and then just completely lost the plot midway through.

Satanic is truly something you haven't seen before. I won't list every single strength here—there are plenty of higher-quality elements to dive into—but the main thing is the energy. The crew's average age is around 25. They’ve injected this massive burst of fresh, positive momentum that’s been missing from the new wave of American cinema. This is exactly what that movement looks like. You have the veteran actors taking supporting roles while the kids handle the heavy lifting, the makeup is top-tier, and the story itself is hard to pin down; it isn't strictly a horror or a comedy, yet somehow manages to be both. The girl playing the female lead is actually a fourth-year film directing student. As for the director, he's only 24 and this is his debut, a script he wrote himself. There's no big studio machine backing them up, which is a huge factor. I’m not sure how they’ll manage to compete with those massive Hollywood blockbusters, especially knowing how much influence goes into securing theater screenings...
Anyway, give it a watch. It'll speak for itself.

Is it really that bad, though? Hope dies last. 😉 .
