my favorite part of the movie was the montage of all the teens eagerly taking turns playing with the hand like some hedonistic game. the thrill the characters experience conveys that the state of being possessed through this ritual is almost euphoric, like a drug. i thought that was an insanely creative approach.

Unfortunately I felt the opposite, it was a decent film, but I was disappointed that the tension didn't keep rising as I expected, unlike some horrors. There was no feeling of dread that kept rising to build up the tension. It was just on and off horror at times. Still enjoyed the film though :).

[@sterling7]

Saw it today. That... is a very good movie. The horror elements work, but what I'm really impressed by is the lead performances, and the cinematography, and how much information they manage to convey about the characters without beating the audience over the head with it. The early scene with the kangaroo has two characters disagreeing about what to do, and that disagreement conveys that they're *both* fundamentally decent human beings. I can't remember how long it's been since a disagreement in a movie suggested that.

[@batmanimal5993]

I thought Mia's character was too unbelievable at times. there were some scenes where her character tried to be innocent and cute but her underlying personality failed it . I don't know her it was just a sense I got from her acting . I also found the libertarian mum and teen characters annoying and a Cherry on the top addition to the massive pile of multicultural and wokeness the movie gave off . For me it took away from the story . Call me a hater a bigot whatever I know what I'm not I'm just tired of every movie TV show ect giving off the same vibe because in reality it really isn't everywhere . just where it can be forced and the mother to me gave me the impression of someone who might present on the view cool about everything until it effects them . Boogeyman for me is still the best film I can remember watching in a long time no garbage just a movie being a movie. The end of this movie was great and wasted on most of the film that came before it.

"I love the fact that the object, could be any object, for this film, it's a hand, the handshake is a universal friendly greeting, for most folks. Nope, felt very wrong here." I think a tangent was lost here but what I think he was gonna say "I love the fact that the object, any object can become terrifying." and that's also NOT a new thing in horror-in _The Haunting of Hill House_ something as simple as a hat became terrifying, and in _Oculus_ a mirror, in _The Conjuring_ it isn't an object per say, but the time of day that freaks people out (if you know you know), and in _Sinister_ simple reels are the scary object. The key to making a THING in horror scary, like time, or a mirror, or a hat or a house isn't the object itself. It's everyone around it. When you fear for the people around the object, you fear the object itself. Because then you understand what's at stake. When you understand the goals, the stakes, the urgency the characters are facing, suddenly a smile can become sinister, a door can be dangerous, the time can be terrifying, and a handshake can feel horrifying.

I really liked how they played with touch and intimacy in general. It really added to that feeling of wanting and needing connection that permeated the whole thing.

[@loopsaround7664]

The fact we got this movie and Evil dead rise in the same year is insane glad to see people still doing horror justice.

[@hollandscottthomas]

EDR was shot with a primarily Aussie/NZ cast & crew too!

[@williamk7517]

Evil rise dead was good also!!!!! And spooky saw that in theatre

Had a chance to see the pre-screening as an AAA24 member and it was incredible

[@marcolopez3721]

I had to come back to this review because I genuinely wasn’t to moved by the film as I watched it last night. While I enjoyed the cast to an extent, nothing about this movie really triggered a reaction that I was hoping to get. The movie pacing was a TAD bit on the slow side and the movie only has one scene that really makes you go “oh shit.” Certain elements came across as after thoughts and I’m not sure what “gross” outs moments are being referred to? Aside from that ONE scene (where homie kisses the dresser) this movie didn’t carry a lot of powerful imagery. Idk, 6/10. Not my favorite and didn’t understand the hype. To each their own.

[@vijrumbhanam9200]

Same here. Had to watch it at double speed to finish it

## Film Review: I had the privilege of attending the premiere in Los Angeles, an exciting event teeming with anticipation. The film opened with an impeccably crafted scene, setting the tone for what was to follow. On the whole, the film delivered an impressive performance, although it could have benefited from a more nuanced approach to the possession scenes. Rather than resorting to the somewhat clichéd use of contact lenses and eye makeup, it might have been more compelling to see the actors themselves evoke the horror, lending a more grounded and unsettling reality to these scenes. The initial third of the film was exceptional, demonstrating a strong narrative and engaging character development. However, as the story progressed, it seemed to lose its footing. This was largely due to some characters making illogical decisions that detracted from the overall believability, and dialogue that lost its impact over time, thus leading to a slight dip in the storytelling. Nevertheless, this film solidly marks its presence in the genre and the excitement for what these filmmakers might produce next is palpable. I eagerly look forward to their future projects.

Jeremy glad you liked it! I can't remember horror images freaking me out this much since the first Sinister movie 😮

Big up to these lads for making it to a real movie! Def gonna support this film and watch!

[@rogdawg123]

in my opinion this movie was a masterpiece and a perfect 10 /10 👌 best horror movie that's come out ina very long time.... the ending was nothing short of spectacular and the best ending I've ever seen in a horror movie

[@matthewrichardson8162]

Two questions: Is the imagery as scary as Hereditary or Midsommar? It took me a year to stop thinking about Hereditary and I lost my appetite watch Midsommar.

[@rogdawg123]

@matthewrichardson8162 I just saw it last nite and haven't been able to get it outta my head... it's definitely gonna be embedded in yours for a while for sure... do yourself a favor and watch it

@@matthewrichardson8162there are a couple of scenes which are equal to the attic scene and midsommar cliff jump in terms of imagery imo

[@Motivate_the_Mind.]

@@matthewrichardson8162id say it was very comparable to hereditary but more horror tropey and not as dark and cult like as hereditary. It’s not as scary and disturbing as hereditary but this movie doesn’t hold back and is still a very heavy watch but I throughly enjoyed this movie. Definitely a good change of direction and pace as your typical horror movie

[@adiposeidon3170]

3 days of Jeremys reviews AMAZING

[@bluonblu8555]

I decided to watch on a whim and it was the time well spent! Even though it uses old tropes, it stays clear of the standard fare horror schlock territory. Took its time to build tension, took its time with its characters and there was quite a bit of body horror. More than I expected, tbh, but it was well integrated and effective!

[@kratoscallofduty]

I've been subbed to RackaRacka for years. I knew it would only be a matter of time before they hit it big. So happy for those guys.

[@bayonetababe9697]

Got tickets for tonight and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been waiting for this one with anticipation since I saw the first trailer. I’m glad to hear it getting such high praise from reviewers. A24 kills it with their movie’s especially their horror movies.

Two hands up

[@julzmusic8708]

This is one of the best horrors I’ve seen - I now wish I had have seen it in theatres as I’m not sure how much the producers/writers etc get once it’s on a streaming service. The characters were SO relatable as an Aussie, the depth of the characters were so well thought out & portrayed. Their writing style was BRILLIANT and for once it actually finished phenomenally which is what so many horrors struggle with.

[@suzybearheart530]

I’m not an Aussie but the shots of the kids partying with the hand reminded me of when I was a teenager in the 90s. We used to try and do seances, play Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board, and it never worked but it was always a riot. Very relatable flick even to an old GenXEr like me. I loved it. I found the ending very clever yet oddly unsatisfying. Not in a bad way, in a “I want more” kinda way. Best horror of 2023 for me, easy. ❤

[@Huggamugger1]

I honestly wasn't a fan. I felt no one in the film was likable. Despite knowing there was a time limit they just let terrible things continue happening without really doing much to stop it. There was a couple of moments when they tried to remove the victim's hands from the object but then seem like they forget all about trying to help. That kid was smashing his head off tables and desks and it took his sister running in from another room to finally stop him. And they just let the dude make out with the dog. Like I said, no one was likable.

[@KKSHS11]

Great movie loved every bit of it. Being an Aussie myself, for any American viewers, the reason the mums humour in this movie doesn't feel forced is because this is legitimately how Aussie mums are haha. She was probably just playing herself haha.

[@hollandscottthomas]

Lol I just watched this in Canada as an Aussie and I was the only one outright laughing at so much of the dialogue because it was so authentic to how we talk 😂😂

[@carrymore7952]

(NO SPOILERS GIVEN READ AWAY)!! This movie is really about addiction to me. It starts off with the thrill, then there's a sense of deceptiveness there was never really any control over things. The cameras, the rules, the watch, and the thrills. No control,just deception. Then you have the spiral, intoxicating , pivotal high . They can't stop taking turns. They can't stop chasing the thrills and rewards. When it's time to go. They stop or allegedly all agree to stop, then it happens, devastating deception and trauma. when addiction in social groups happens, it sort of looks like this. People scatter, get hurt, die, blame, and stay addictive. There's nothing stupid about any of the characters. Because the majority of people have addictions (good/bad). It's just unfortunate how fast addiction can spiral. That's what made this movie the scariest movie I've ever seen. Because the core of this movie is about genuine human addiction and spirituality.

[@MrCosmicVictory]

good perspective

[@jaydub4661]

Yup saw that too. Also how grief can be connected to addiction. Leaning on what makes you ",feel good" in that sense the film was flawed cause the Brown people were like the "dealers" and the Brown woman the main addict corrupting unsuspecting innocent white people but was still a good movie

[@jaydub4661]

Especially with the belt tightening and the backpack with the "stuff" lol.

So much fun! Very impressed the KZbinrs first film is so well crafted.

[@TheCemuccia]

This is the first time I have ever disagreed with Jeremy. I took my wife to see this and we were both bored. The last 30 minutes is the only part of the movie that didn't feel like a slog. It just starts so slowly. I get that it's more about the main characters journey but I wasn't invested in her at all. The ending was good but not well executed.

[@scatterbrainedreviews]

We live in a world where Jeremy Jahns reviewed a movie made by Rackaracka. Not to mention also in the same year where Chris Stuckmann has a film on the way. What a crazy, awesome evolution to watch.
