I’m so frustrated with Blumhouse. They had such a great streak going in the 2010s, and now they’re clearly just making cheap bad movies for quick money. How did they go from Paranormal Activity, Sinister, Insidious, The Purge, Oculus, Unfriended, Origin of Evil, Split, GET OUT, Us, Creep, Halloween, The Invisible Man ... to this and Imaginary and Night Swim and The Exorcise Believer. I genuinely can’t remember the last good Blumhouse movie I watched. The Black Phone was pretty good I guess.

@randomguy6695Ай бұрын
Oh and speaking of which movie I hated the most. I can only speak on Nightswim bc I haven’t seen Imaginary or Afraid. But that movie was truly terrible. It was blatantly obvious the director didn’t know what to do to build the haunted swimming pool concept to a full film, which is admittedly a pretty cool concept, so he filled it with uninteresting characters, boring filler scenes where nothing happens, and a few mildly creepy pool scenes. Oh and Wyatt Russel’s terrible acting. There’s that too. How Kerry Condon went from an Oscar nominated film to a shitty waste of time like Nightswim is beyond me. I guess that Paycheck must’ve been nice.

Based off of the trailer, it’s clearly going to go in a different direction. My mom and I kept saying when we were watching the orginal movie: “Americans wouldn’t do this. This wouldn’t happen with Americans”. It’s just a different culture (no judgement!). Based on the remake’s trailer, it already shows how different it’ll be. In the original, the family never communicated and were hardly ever on the same page, but this shows how the whole family knows that something is wrong and is on the same page. Idk. It could work. But I don’t see any reason why we needed a remake. It’s completely unnecessary.

I interpreted the ending very differently. *Spoilers* Although the family did get into the car provided by Aia, I didn't view it as the family trusting Aia again. Instead, Aia basically blackmailed the family of a threat to destroy their lives unless they go along with things. It's been over a week since I've seen the movie, so I can't remember the exact line, but I do remember Aia threatening the father outside of the ambulance. So for me, this wasn't a happy ending. It's a bleak ending where the family has accepted that they've lost and Aia won. Their futures are going to be at the complete mercy of Aia as Aia's puppets, just like so many of the other characters of the movie.

I don't know which of those films is the worst for me. As a side note, I loved M3gan personally. Keep up the great videos.
