Not scary. really dumb. so many things that don't make sense... at all. very disappointing. critics are stupid (1 viewing)

my comments from a convo with samie and ronnie:
I really try to give it a chance, try to move past the little weird stuff that I didn't like. But it didn't amount to anything worth doing that for
Wasn't scary. And as much as I tried to give the weird voices a chance, they were pretty stupid
It seems like there was a lot of stuff that he put in there to try to give it meaning but just seemed random and stupid. Like the opening texts about the tunnels Underground, what was that even trying to imply
Was the holding hands thing a social commentary on world hunger? I don't really understand. I get that it's one of the last things the little girl watched before getting switched
You know what was funny, the whole time I was waiting to see what the little boys magic trick would end up doing, we finally see that it basically just causes a small spark that helps him somehow Escape even though it really does nothing lol
I'm all for making up some weird story but you have to have at least some semblance of something concrete or something you can hold on to that makes sense. Can't just be a bunch of Madness
Or why the shadow lady would try to kill the husband and kids, I guess they're not technically her husband and kids but she wants to kill them?
Yes I was definitely thinking this. This is supposedly all across America but no one ever went down there and notice these people
What about homeless people or little kids
Or construction workers
To me the coolest part about the movie was the fact that I thought it was confined to this family and their experience and then we find out that it's basically the Apocalypse. Not sure if I have seen that before
Man if we really want to get down to it there are so many tiny things that were so dumb. Things that I would normally let slide if I like the movie. Do you remember when she was handcuffed to the table and she was trying to escape or reach the fireplace thing
There are like 12 things she could have done easily
I'm sorry can you not pick up a table
Or slide it over. Or move the Handcuff all the way to the corner so you have more room
You want to know something that makes the least sense of all. How would the kids look look the same. Supposedly these are all clones. But the shadow lady describes giving birth the same time as the real girl. Even if she had sex with the same shadow guy, there's basically 0% chance that the kids would look the same
Another question, why did the little boy all of a sudden have the power to force his shadow to kill himself
Another question, it seems that all of the real people are influencing what all of the Shadows are doing Underground. But when the shadow girl switches with the real girl in the beginning, the shadow girl above ground is now controlling what the real girl underground is doing. So why does the power to control switch
