Not what I expected but...

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2019)

I'm an avid fan of the horror genre, mostly reading it because I have to psych myself up quite a bit to watch a movie that I think will scare me. Also, I don't like sitting in dark rooms with strangers so the pep talks were many before I was able to convince myself that it was okay to go sit in a dark theater with other human beings, any of whom could be in the mood to act out anything from the screen at any moment.
A few days before my outing, a friend mentioned on Facebook that the movie wasn't scary to her. Hmmm... Okay, perhaps it was more of a psychological thriller than actual horror.
And it kinda was until it wasn't. It was also interesting, funny, horrific, thought-provoking, and perplexing.
It wasn't what I expected but lots of things in life delight me with their unexpectedness.
Of course, others' mileage may differ.
Like those who are saying that anyone giving 10 of 10 stars are "bot accounts". How about the folks attempting to disparage the ratings other reviewers gave by labeling them as being from "bot accounts" are the true "bot accounts"? Because I've seen quite a few reviews that use those words...
If you don't enjoy a movie, it's cool. That means it wasn't "your" movie. Doesn't mean others are "bots" because they did.
Some folks really can and do think outside tiny little boxes and we who are so gifted remain unbothered by those who can't and don't. Because we like variety. And possibility. And movies not tied up with neat bows because it encourages us to engage in meaningful discussions about what we saw. Or didn't.
That is all.
p.s. Anyone who is so inclined, please feel free to check my account for any bot-like behavior. *chuckle*
