His writing is no better either. His scripts are like an alien trying to understand how human beings communicate with each other. One line that always sticks out to me is in _The Happening_ where Zooey Deschanel's character at one point says, "WE CAN'T JUST STAND HERE AS UNINVOLVED OBSERVERS!"

Speaking from Ireland, everyone in any town or village knows All the townlands within 20 miles around you. Nobody drives off into the woods and gets lost - not only because this Island has the lowest amount of woodland in all of europe, with almost no woods or forests here, let alone big enough to drive off into and get lost in.

[@vonb2009]

I'm not sure what message the film tried to convey. At first I thought it was satirizing "reality tv culture," hyperbolically exploring the "trappings" of public/televised life and being watched by an unforgiving audience that wants the "stars" to adhere to its unrealistic expectations. But then it segued into faerie lore (changelings) which could have been a critique of replacement theory? I don't know, just spitballing here.

Only reason the author of the book and/or makers of the movie were able to get away with it is because very few people watch Epix! Lol. Before I found out about Epix, I didn’t think it was possible to get less viewers on a Premium Channel than Pre-Outlander Starz!🤣

The plot holes disrupt a lot of the good things about the movie. I even sat there trying to rationalize about why certain actions weren't taking by a character because it would have been the most logical thing to do. Even the excuse i came up with was washed away. Sure I can also give the movie the excuse that they had budget limitations but there should have been a lot more in the setting in which the movie is placed. The movie aims to be multiple things but in the end it just becomes jumbled. Scale of 1 to 10 a 4

[@coolegiel120]

Which plotholes?

[@madfox1006]

I'm 50/50 with this movie. It has good production value and good directing from M Nights daughter, feels like she studied and her father helped her out. But the other half losses me when they start dumping exposition and it kept going at the end. I hope M Nights daughter improves later on cause todays Hollywood is different with nepotism. Your relationa to a famous person can only get you so far, if you fuck up more than once Hollywood will blacklist you. Example, that kid from Artemis Fowl .

I just saw the movie. I was a little scared until I saw what they looked like. They kept them in shadows for the first half and then they were just slender man mixed with gollum but with way worse CGI. I knew the twist early on just because I know there would be a twist plus there were little hints (I should have killed you months ago). But give it two minutes of thought and it won’t make any sense. They were escaping and they stopped TWICE. Dakota was saved because of the power of friendship? She was a perfect old lady for the months that she was with them, but when she left she started to suck at it again? If that ladies husband was a watcher when he was knocking on the door then why was he snatched again. They had been together for months before Dakota arrived. That box must stank. Lastly if the professor had to kill construction workers by the truckload, wouldn’t people be looking for him? Why would his office at the college still be there?

And you're not wrong that most businesses work this way. It doesn't make the phenomenon any better. Like a monarchy, Hollywood has created cultural power and influence that keeps it in the family. Do you know how much cultural power these cats have? That's the sort of thing that makes it bothersome. Also, had the movie been good, people wouldn't beat you over the head with it as much. North West as simba is an example. When it's bad, it's just annoying as hell

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

I think we expect too much of movies lately. We are less willing to suspend our disbelief due to the current times we live in a let movies get away with things that would never happen in the real world. They’re movies. Yeah sometimes they’re bad, but we can’t expect 100% reality from them. The Original Exorcist is a prime example. We accepted Regan levitating and the complete biological impossibility of her head spinning 360 degrees with no neck trauma. I mean c’mon. I’m not sure if Hollywood is just putting out lesser product or if we’re just being super critical die to our modern sensibilities or both.

[@politefan8141]

*Spoilers* I would have gone with it if the others discovered Madeline being a shapeshifter in the video while she was away forcing the others to plan their escape. Then Madeline could have shapeshifted as one of the other captives in order to leave with them. However, the most logical thing Madeline could have done would be to assume her husband's identity to fund more experiments. What purpose does Mina serve? Perhaps hint that Mina's abilities to hide behind different personas was the reason why the Watchers were particularly interested in her. The whole movie broke my brain, but little tweaks here and there would have made it slightly more believable.

[@jjohnson218]

Korey is wrong about the spoiler. Only one fairy was half human and half fairy. The one fairy that was “caught” by the professor was the halfling. The halfling did not kill the professor, he shot the fairy and then killed himslef because he regretted what he had done by having innocent men die making the bunker and having the fairy turn into his wife. But the fairy did not die. She could not get to the boat because she did not know where the boat was. It wasn’t until Mina found the blogs of the professor telling them the location of the boat.

[@cedfarmer898]

32:40 me when I hear Billy CARSON explain the Bible

[@jjohnson218]

The reason the fairy did not kill Mina was because the fairies whole goal was to escape the forest and kill humans who trapped their race inside the forest. But it wasn’t until Mina remember the folklore (when she went to the university) fairies used to live in harmony with humans, they would be their guardian, had wings and mate with humans causing mixed offsprings. Mina told the fairy she was half human and it changed the fairies whole perspective on herself and purpose. The fairy realized because she has human blood that’s the reason she can leave the forest and withstand sunlight. Mina promised the half human/fairy she would never feel alone again, so the fairy decided to become her guardian watching over her.

“Try not to die….while watching this movie.”

I like this movie. I comprehend most of it. It’s pretty much about past trauma and letting go of guilt, regret, and pain. (Foreshadowing) The main character Mina shape shifts into other people (wearing wigs, different personas) because she blames herself for her mom’s death. Once in the forest there are fairies that can shape shift into humans. The fairies have a grudge against the humans because humans locked them away in this forest . The fairie watch the humans to master what it’s like to be human, (ex the show “Big Brother” replaying over and over, interactions with each other). There is only one fairy that can do it perfectly. This fairy can be in sunlight, unlike the others that only come out at night. Reason is revealed towards the end when the fairy finds out it’s half human. As the fairy recollects on its bonding time with the humans(feelings,emotions, sympathy) it realizes it doesn’t have to be shackled down by its past and chooses to watch over Mina as s guardian while Mina learns to let go of her past trauma.

Do these survival instincts makes sense to a GenZ audience? no spoilers, but literally the only character that seemed to have any desire to survive was the olderwoman. The rest only seemed to be moderately bothered by the whole inconvenience of the situation. Also by the end of the first week just out of pure frustration rage I would have burned the entire forest down. I was completely counting on the fact that once you stumbled into this area time was no longer linear or the characters were no longer perceiving time the same as in reality. BUT NO

...sooooooo she ended up in arcadia, the scary world of changlings, with the mad queen. so she could trick them. to escape. did...did his daughter fuckin read The World of Darkness series and went 'i want to do that.'!?

[@josephpowell1611]

So if the movie made this little sense, does the book also make no sense? Or did they change the movie from the book?

[@SmootchieWallace-vl7wd]

Korey you missed it. The reason they know the rules SPOILER is because the older lady is the leader and is one of the watchers. I actually like the movie so ig I'm dumb now 😂😭

[@madelaineG]

Watched the movie today and I wasn‘t scared at all - topic wise I think ‚The Hallow‘ is a much better and scarier horror movie with less plot holes or ‚intended‘ twists and the lore suited better for this horror flick. Or Netflix ‚the Ritual’ did a better job on scary in-the-woods-no-way-out topic with an evil antagonist and the burden of guilt involved. I was confused that in „the watchers“ there was no twisted character dynamics in this situation locked in a rooms for some time and people usually develop a toxic behavior against one another even if they know each other but here they going along better than every other one at a Christmas dinner …

[@AmberOrr-vd5mf]

Apparently, the book doesn't make sense either. Second book [when released] may explain the origin. 😩

[@BaBeMariposa22]

This sounds like a bad version of KDrama The 8 Show that just came out on Netflix last month. 😂😂😂😂

[@sobatinyela]

I went and saw this yesterday smh... my first takeaway? Shoulda seen Bad Boys. But in re that ending: I really thought that they was gon squab!!! But she literally did "use her words".. like the Daywalker did NOT kno it was half and half. And that shit blew its mind so bad that it not only let the main character live WITHOUT A FIGHT, it sprouted wings and flew away😂 Maybe it let her live as a thank you for the 411..?? But I like to think she was hitting that fey with bars from a fire ass dis track like "Not Like Us" 😎

Their Judge Dredd review got pulled!

[@jonb2911]

They were full fairies. and the full fairies became corrupted from the magic and being trapped underground and lost their wings. She needed to hide in the box herself because since she was a half breed. The full fairies hated her and would torture her. Now the rest of it still doesn't make sense. there is was still no reason for her to live with the humans. being half breed shes still super fast and strong and would probably spend her days searching for the boat herself. which I'm sure she would have found....... Secondly since she lived with the professor for awhile she would know about the basement.... so why not just go to the basement asap with all the supplies? another thing...... so did the professor catch a fairies, have sex with one and the half breed was born? soooo the lady was the professors offspring? so he wanted his offspring to turn into his wife? (EW) Or was she a half breed thats been around for hundreds of years and had to deal with being tortured by the fairies and saw the professor and didnt kill him because she felt that he may be her way out away from the full blooded one? like apparantly they were together for over a year so im sure he showed her how to get out. Shit made no sense. The movie should have ended when they all got on the bus and started driving away.

[@bobbobbins6699]

Haven’t seen the movie just listened to 11 minutes of this review. Am gonna take a guess: The girl and the people are hamsters, real or metaphorical. This is why they don’t emote or care or ask about their situation. The watchers are humans or aliens or whatever higher life form. Some are kind, some cruel. Blah, blah, blah.
