Mark Martinez4^^ looks ridiculous. Only kids use symbols like ^^☕ pyramid ^ might pass for something... 😁

He looked so incredibly satisfied doing it, too. Honestly, it seems like something worth trying... 😬

yeah🙏😁

though I suspect there’s more satisfaction to be found using nothing but your bare hands...😁

Personally, I love that sound when you set a house, a forest, or an island on fire 😍

🤣

OP: I don't know, I just like popping those little bubbles on bubble wrap (you know what I mean😬) 😍
or hitting a heavy bag😍 I am quite orderly in how I vent my excess energy🙂😁

🤣
I hate touchpads!😠

posts aren't being counted, you'll have to scroll manually☕🙂

That’s pretty much all I ever do on this forum.

Pointless.

I went to see it yesterday without even realizing I’d actually already watched it a few years back🙄😬,honestly, I have no idea how that happens... my memory is just shot😁All in all, it was good. It definitely made me jump a couple of times. Like someone else mentioned, the core of this thing for me was the conflict between Sarah and Juno. That tension felt way more impactful than the actual "monsters," which weren't even that scary to me in the end since they managed to hold their own against them. To me, those creatures felt like a subplot; the heart of the film is really that Sarah-Juno relationship😁The standout scenes for me were 1) that look Sarah gives after attacking Juno—that tight zoom on her eyes, the contrast between the whites of her eyes and the blood on her face🙏🙏🙏, and 2) the moment Sarah is emerging from the cave, with the camera pulling back as she climbs over a pile of bones. That visual contrast between the white bones and the pitch-black background, that trek through the remains toward the exit🙏was just too much. Ugh. In conclusion, it's an excellently crafted film. Some of the imagery is incredible. Sure, the monsters themselves didn't give me the chills, but then again, I've always preferred psychological thrillers over typical slashers and "creatures." 7/10

cosmicraven2 Asks:
This makes absolutely zero sense... Alright, fair warning... major spoilers ahead.First of all, the movie can't decide on its own damn rules. For starters, that initial suicide happens right in front of the mirrors. Fine. You’re sitting there thinking, "Okay, if you step foot in that building and look into a cursed mirror, you're toast." Simple enough. But then, out of nowhere, the main character's sister drops dead despite never even being near the building... let alone looking into a mirror while she died. I was already lost at that point. Then we get to the second half where Jack Bauer tracks down a nun and brings her back to the building, only to somehow destroy the Evil and still end up stuck in the mirror world... even though they were supposedly destroyed. Honestly, nothing made any sense to me at all...

Take the The Grudge series, for instance... no matter how many times they recycled the same tropes, it actually worked because the rules were crystal clear: you step foot inside that house, and you're dead—sooner or later... Even if the American version of The Grudge 2 broke all those rules... but I’m not going to get into that right now...It’s just a collection of "cool" scenes that don't actually work together as a cohesive whole. It's a real shame... I really hope Aja delivers something better next time.

I'm with you on that. I absolutely loathe it when a movie feels messy and disjointed... It’s much better if they don't force you to ask "how" or "why" things are happening. You should just accept the reality of the scene and move on. Honestly, it's better not to overanalyze it at all...😁 WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD...
So, when Ben showed up at that woman's place to paint over every single mirror... and then she basically kicked him out? If he hadn't done that, how on earth would they have stopped Evil from invading their home? And he wasn't just hitting the mirrors, either—he was painting over the pictures too. It’s like he had to black out absolutely everything that could possibly show a reflection... absolute madness...
And what about things like spatulas, spoons, and all that other junk...?🤣 I'm just messing around, but honestly? I didn't really care for the movie. Even the ending felt like a total letdown... especially since he actually turned over Esseker—you know, that old lady...
Why on earth is he still trapped if Evil was supposedly destroyed? Then again, I guess everyone expected a depressing ending anyway, so I don't really get why people are raving about the finale... Anyway, 2/10.

I haven't actually sat down to watch it yet, though I was scrolling through some reviews just yesterday. I really liked one critic's take—they mentioned this isn't just another tired trope about teenagers getting lost, or some zombie flick, or those cliché movies where girls with long hair crawl out of the TV screen...😁
Anyway, I have pretty high expectations for this one. I see people comparing it to The Others, which, if you ask me, is easily one of the best films ever made...😱- what do you think, boldscout72?😁.
