I understand both the hate and the love

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2018)

I understand the people who hated this film, thought it was boring and trashy. Yet I also understand why people thought it was deeply disturbing and phenomenal. I saw this in theaters with my dad. Let's talk about the people who hated it. First of all, I am someone who gets irritated when people laugh in the theaters during a scary movie. But, there were some corny things happening in the movie that genuinely made me laugh (some of Peter's crying made me cringe, when the mother named Annie chops her head off super fast, and when she floats around in the air when she is possessed. I actually thought it was so funny. Also, when I first saw this I had no idea what was happening. The movie is a little too unclear. I do remember being tired in the theater and maybe I wasnt paying fully attention though, but I remember telling my friends that it was so confusing that I wasn't even sure if I could tell them what it's about. The movie seems slow to people. BUT (for the people who love it including myself) I watched it again/looked some things up. And this movie is quite a trip let me tell you. Even when I first saw it, I did think it was quite disturbing and horrifying and was satisfied because I felt as if I haven't seen a movie that scary in very long, even though I genuinely laughed at some parts. This movie makes you uncomfortable. And the reason for that is because in this movie you're literally watching a family's relationship deteriorate to absolute dirt in the most insane ways possible. And most of us have a family we live with, and seeing the characters/family fall apart and seeing the people that are going crazy after all these horrifying and traumatic events happening to them is terrifying to me. This movie is slow at first but it's for the purpose of you getting to know the characters, so later you can be upset and disturbed, and in shock about how all of them are dying in brutal ways. And lastly, to me what makes this movie so disturbing is that 95% of the acting is absolutely superb. Especially from Annie, the mother and the son Peter. Watching Annie go insane makes this movie heartbreaking and so dark and disturbing. Take this movie with an open mind and go watch it :-)
